a one of a kind epic

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2005)

I can not quite understand why this movie is rated only a 7.0, it is worthy of so much more! I did not know what to expect from the movie, "Titanic," when it first came out for viewing; other than it being said to be "terrific", "superb", and "heart-moving" from classmates and friends. When I finally saw the movie in the theaters, I was left speechless! That was the best movie I have seen. The "Titanic" is more of a fairytale, a movie that keeps you at the edge of your seats until the end of the movie. It was a movie that displays the social classes, the untroubled life of the low classes and the superficial life of the rich ones. A part of the movie was a love story between two young people, the rich and misunderstood girl played by Kate Winslet and the poor young man played by Leonardo DiCaprio. When destiny brought them together on the voyage of the Titanic, they faced many troubling events in order to pursue their prohibited love. Another factor that everyone should absolutely go see this "Titanic" is because of the platinum and Oscar winning soundtrack. It was simply wonderful, it sounded like an angel singing and it really helped when it was played during the sad moments in the movie. Celine Dion did an excellent job in singing "My Heart Will Go On", and James Horner did the terrific job producing the song.
James Cameron, the director, did an unbelievable job in transporting the audience back to 1912; the misfortune of the sinking ship, Titanic. And the special effects for this movie? Wow, it was jaw-dropping. The computer-generated ship was flawless  I didn't even know it was computer generated until I watched the "background scenes" for this movie "Titanic".
The performances of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were absolutely breathtaking. It almost felt as if the audience were apart of their love, their love felt so real. It is no wonder that they were nominated for Academy Award.
