Arguably the greatest cinematic-historic film of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2000)

It's a shame that this movie received as much backlash as it did. This movie showed exactly what type of effect a dedicated force can have for a movie, and a dedicated force is exactly what James Cameron was with this film.
The acting was quite wonderful. DiCaprio did a wonderful job as the happy-go-lucky poor boy. Winslet was wonderful as the rich girl trying to find a way out. Zane's acting was so perfect for the villian that I can't stand to watch him in any other movie, not for his acting, but for how brilliantly he played the evil rich snob who will use his power to get whatever he wants. Yet, all of these acting jobs were overshadowed by the boat itself, as well as it's tremendous supporting cast. The humanity that the actors and actresses brought to each character was amazing. I am still brought to tears every time I watch the musicians playing on the deck of the sinking ship.
Cameron literally brought the old oceanliner back to life. The attention to detail of every part of Titanic was greater than in any other movie I have ever watched. The cinematography was outstanding. The entire sinking of the ship was brilliantly done, and completely hammers home the fact that so many people died that didn't have to, simply from humanity's own bullheadedness that we are invincible.
A wonderful movie that people need to stand up and recognize as one of the greatest movies of all time.
