Just chill...

Rating: Null/10 (27 January 1999)

Of course this is a chick flick and of course not everyone's going to appreciate it, but seriously, if you take a good look at it, it's a wonderful film. I loved it the first time I saw it, and I still do. Now, I don't cry at movies and I'll be the first one to say if a movie really stinks, but TITANIC was a perfect movie. There were a few problems like...well, if they're standing in water chest-high and things are electrically shorting out, then why are they still alive? and when she hit that guy while she was looking for the key to the cuffs, before he even touched his face he had blood all over his hand. and when everyone was outside starting to get into the lifeboats, why couldn't you see anyone's breath? It was just as cold then as it was when they were all in the water! But, despite these things, TITANIC got all that it deserved. It was everything people want to see in a movie. Personally, I think that at times the whole love story was a little drawn out, but it's not the love story that makes the movie this time. It's an endless tale of the perils on the biggest ship in the world. Just because there's some kiddy love in the story doesn't mean that it's an all-around chick flick. If you think that, then you need to get a clue. If you didn't see the to-the-detailed accounts of things that really happened, or take the movie for what it was, then of course, you're not going to appreciate it. But, TITANIC was more than just a documentary, it was a wonderful portrayal of what really DID happen on the Titanic. And I'm sure somewhere along the lines on the ship a boy and girl fell in love and were torn apart by death. It's not as unrealistic as you may think. Just stop and take in the horror of the sinking and the detailed account of the times and what it would have been like to be a third class person and know that you haven't even a chance to live. And if you still don't like the film or appreciate what it's about, get over it. Until you take in the whole picture, you have no right to bash it. If all you think it is is some dumb chick flick, get a new line. That one's already been taken.
