One of the greatest movies of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2000)

James Camerons' masterpiece "Titanic" is without a doubt one of the greatest movies of all time. It is the ultimate human story. Action, suspense, romance, drama and historical accuracy.
The characters of Jack and Rose break the social boundaries to be with one another creating an emotional love story. By appreciating these two characters, feeling their passion, love, and desire they create a gateway for the audience to feel what it was really like to be on the Titanic. The presence of historical characters such as Captain Smith, Mr Ismay, and Thomas Andrews produce a greater sense of realism and allow us appreciate the true tragedy of what happened to the luxury liner.
The film had incredible music creating a sense of awe and respect for the great ship and all of its doomed passengers. The sound and ground-breaking special effects brought the ship back to life. We see the contrast between the huge pistons, the hundreds of stokers below, and the guts of of the ship with the beautiful, majestic swooping shots of the ship out at sea so we appreciate it on a much higher level.
The action was brilliant. As the ship keeps going down the action gets more intense and more lethal. Obstacles keep coming up, harder and more difficult keeping us intensely involved. The passengers get desperate, trapped on what was once a beautiful ship, but now a crippled mass of metal pulling them into the freezing ocean.
The sinking of the Titanic was a great tragedy. This Film represents it truthfully and emotionally. It is a classic and should never be forgotten.
