A sensational movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2005)

I have heard many negative comments about this movie. "the acting was terrible" or "the movie lacks suspense." While the movie is considerably long and may seem boring to some, there is no denying that "Titanic" is a masterpiece. The acting is very decent and those who claim that Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet "can't act" must have some sort of personal vendetta against them because they do a very convincing job in the movie; especially in their very precious scenes together.
The special/sound effects used are very good and give the film a great sense of context and realism - like you are actually there in the Titanic. The score is very fitting and really does elicit feelings of sorrow, joy and excitement for the characters of the film. Although I am not a fan of her other work, Celin Dion's Grammy award winning "My Heart Will Go On" must be one of the saddest, most touching songs ever produced.
The ending of "Titanic" might have you feeling quite sad, but you will likely also have feelings of triumph and inspiration for certain characters. Despite the fact that nobody can understand the true pain experienced by those of the actual events, after watching the movie one will feel a deeper connection with the whole Titanic tragedy.
To all those people who have made a habit of putting this movie down by stating immature and unreasonable comments, I have this to say: 11 Academy Awards AND $1.8b made at the worldwide box office! 10/10.
