A true masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2007)

James Cameron (the writer and director) is truly a ledgend in himself. The Titanic is a breathtaking movie which covers just about every aspect of what a film should have in it. The Titanic is immensely sad and will tug at the heart of even the most stone hearted of people. And what makes the movie just so much more tragic is the fact it's a true story based of course on the 1912 voyage of the Titanic ship; which tragically sunk taking more than 1500 passengers down with it! The 194 minute movie captures your eye, heart and imagination in so many ways. A three hour movie probably has put of a lot of people but honestly you do not feel that in this movie it's a perfect length. James Camerons' choice of actors/actresses is amazing. The gorgeous fresh faced, Leonardo Di Caprio shines brighter than the sun in his role. As does Kate Winslet who plays the posh upper class Rose perfectly.
The only flaw I could attempt to pick out of the Titanic is the effects of the ship sinking in its last moments; they could have probably been better; but for a 1997 movie I don't think we can complain.
The Titanic has won an incredible 11 Oscars, 76 other awards and has had 48 nominations! And that just proves the movie truly is a masterpiece which will never be replaced.
I can guarantee you really have not lived until you see James Camerons Titanic!
