Titantic- the unsinkable movie !

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2012)

Titanic, simply, is a masterpiece, a movie that in my lifetime, i have no doubt in saying, will never be surpassed. As soon as you hear the word "Titanic", in truth, you don't think of the ship, you think of the movie! sad fact but a true one none the less. Cameron, no doubt, has cemented his name in Movie history for many years to come thanks to this epic, amazing, tragic, heart felt , emotion jerking movie!
I've ticked the box that states " MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS" but I'm sure it comes as no spoiler to anyone that in the end the ship actually sinks, and if it does, buy a brain! As we all know, the Titanic was re-released this year in 3D for its anniversary, and also money making purposes, none the less, as I watched it in the Cinema, I realized , it takes ages for the movie to get to the point, which if you've seen the movie like 100 times, makes it even more difficult to watch in an uncomfortable seat in a cinema, however, its defiantly worth the wait!
The beginning was extended in the 3D version this year, I hated that, because even in the 2D version I always thought that the beginning was a bit pointless and it annoyed me, not the showing of the ocean, i love that, basically because of the superb music! Hymn To The Sea is a magnificent piece of music, that draws on every piece of emotion one has, and i just love it. However, the boat scene, where they spent like 20 minutes of the film taking rubbish at the beginning annoys me, and i felt it didn't need to be extended. I must stress although, apart from the opening scene on the boat, I find every other scene that includes the boat and an elderly Rose (Gloria Stuart), Brock (Bill Paxton) and his crew vital to the development of the story!
Above all else in this movie, the acting etc, I love the plot adaption, the fact that, yes Titanic was a tragedy, and without the love story of Jack and Rose, the sinking would have still been a horrific and sad moment in the film, but the fact that Jack dies, adds to tragedy, because we followed their relationship through the whole film, just as married couples who lived together for years, were separated and thanks to the amazing love story of Jack and Rose, we as the audience, really feel the pain of everyone who lost someone on the titanic, and personally I feel that this was a genius move by Cameron, as it filled us with more emotion, which is exactly what the sinking of the titanic deserves, emotion!
The acting was also good in this film, I think that Jack and Rose are just as famous as Romeo and Juliet at this stage and I think that it will remain the same for many many years, the script was brilliant, the introduction, development and ending of their relationship was superb, and the fact that it was a rich woman falling in love with a poor man even makes it more enjoyable, as she risked so much for him and sacrificed so much, that in the end, when he dies, we feel her pain. Also the scene of the old couple in bed hugging preparing to die, hits me like a ton of bricks every time, or the mother telling her kids the story of Tir na Nog, where the youth live forever,both are for me, easily the saddest scene in the movie, and probably in movie history ! because it arouses every emotion in me, it makes me feel saddened that an old couple, who spent their life together will die, yes its nice they go together and holding hands,but it is such a sad scene,and then in contrast it shows how young innocent kids died, who never got a chance to live, the fact that each scene comes after each other is clever from Cameron, as it shows us an elderly couple who lived life, too 2 kids, who never got the chance! i have to admit, i cry like a baby every time i see these scenes and hear that wonderful piece of music in the background, Hymn to the sea.
Overall, it is so obvious that this film will always be a classic, the type of movie that in 20 years, us teens, will watch with our kids. Titanic is the best film ever made! that i have no doubt in saying, the acting, storyline, music, use of emotion, use of the love story between Jack and Rose and the contrasting scenes, make it an amazing, epic, every word in the dictionary for pure class movie! As I said at the beginning, the Titanic truly is the unsinkable movie.
