"Good Romantic Drama!"

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2012)

Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart, Suzy Amis, Victor Garber, Jonathan Hyde, David Warner and Bill Paxton star in James Cameron's 1997 drama. This begins with oceanographer, Brock Lovett (Paxton) and his crew searching deep into the abyss for the legendary doomed ship, Titanic. After he finds a portrait of a young woman, an elderly woman, Rose DeWitt Bukaker (Stuart) contacts him and comes aboard his boat with her young granddaughter, Lizzy (Amis). Rose is asked to remember her experiences on Titanic 84 years prior and she begins talking about the ship, her romance with young artist, Jack Dawson (DiCaprio) and their last hours on Titanic. Winslet plays, Young Rose, Fisher plays her mother, Ruth, Zane plays Rose's demanding fiancée, Cal Hockley, Bates plays Ruth's friend, Molly Brown, Garber plays Thomas Andrews, the designer of Titanic, Hyde plays Bruce Ismay, the namer of Titanic, Warner plays Cal's security aide, Spicer Lovejoy and Eric Braeden (Victor Newman on The Young & The Restless) makes an appearance as Molly's friend, John Jacob Astor. This is a good love story, Leo and Kate have great chemistry and James Horner's score is excellent as usual. I recommend this good romantic drama.
