I Still love this movie to this day...

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2003)

After seeing TItanic again just this past January (after not seeing it in 5 years) I must say, this movie is STILL One of my favorite movies to this day. I still LOVE the "magical" feeling I get when I watch this film. I really felt like I was back in the early 1900's about to take a voyage on that infamous ship. Very few movies can actually MAKE you feel like you're there...but Titanic did. I still love the performances from DiCaprion, Winslet, Zane, and Bates. I think they did amazing jobs given the sub-par script they had to work with. EVen the "lousy dialogue" as people say didn't ruin this movie for me. It MORE than made up for itself with costume, set design, historical accuracy and detail, and special fx.
I think the MAIN reason why people bash this movie is because it WAS so good and LOVED by many people. It didn't become the highest grossing movie of all time by people hating this movie! LOL*
Also, the orchestra playing music on the deck is NOT a copy from Monty Python. There's actual HISTORICAL truth to that. It's a FACT that the orchestra played that night on deck to "calm" the nerves of the rich upper crusty people. One of the MAIN reasons why I love this movie is because Cameron really made you think about society and class EVEN in our days today. The same thing goes on. The people with $money$ make the rules and own the land so to speak.
Also, I'm not so SURE Cameron WANTED the audience to INITIALLY feel sorry for the "Rich" upper class snobs. I felt sadder for the lower class people. However, in the end, when ALL of of bodies are swimming and struggling to stay alive in the ocean...it didn't matter WHAT class ticket you held in your hand....you were most likely going to die if you drowned or froze to death in that water. Now, it's true, MORE of the rich people survived, but hey...that's life. It was still a tragic tragic event in history, and I don't know why people love to bash this movie. Because it was so successful?? Most likely..
Such a good moral...
