the happening called titanic

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2006)

the movie titanic was a history in itself; almost as big as the history of the ship. in spite of certain faults, no one can deny the magic & aura of the film. in spite of being completely mainstream & commercial the movie is in no way inferior to any critical or artistic movie made till date. the technicalities are simply perfect. special effects will develop with time, but that wouldn't make titanic loose it's appeal. James Cameroon has ensured that. and then comes the musical score which makes you fly into the world of titanic without actually realizing it.making a movie better than titanic shall be very difficult. the impact of the great tragedy that titanic suffered is magnified and compressed into the span of the movie. it hits like a dagger of tragedy. Still, certain factors were missing from the movie and some characters seemed inappropriately described. where did Spicer Lovejoy go in the end? why did the captain appear so idiotic during the sinking? why didn't Jack get a lifebelt?
