great movie with 63 suspenseful minutes

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 1999)

First of all, I am a girl, but I don't like this movie because of Leonardo DiCaprio. I think he was quite okay, but anyone else could have played his role - and better. That's the only thing that bothers me about "Titanic". Kate Winslet was great as "Poor Little Rich Girl" Rose, and also Billy Zane as "unimaginable bastard" Cal. The huge ship is just fantastic, its luxury amazing.
I just loved romantic scenes like "I'm flying" with that breathtaking sunset. But what fascinated me most were the 63 minutes of the sinking: Titanic sinking faster and faster, panic rising and rising, more and more people trying to escape from death but drowning of being sucked back into the ship and more and more things getting destroyed - these aspects made the Titanic's sinking the movie's most breathtaking, suspenseful and moving minutes. That's the best about the movie to me.
For me Kate Winslet is a great actress not only for her good acting, but also for her patience and perseverance to hold out. I suppose it must have been hard to do the sinking scenes, as I read that Kate once almost drowned.
I've seen "Titanic" six times yet, and every time the Titanic's sinking was as suspenseful and moving to me like seeing it for the first time. I can almost feel the cold water and the sheer terror those people feel, and that makes me want to cry each time, also the romantic "My Heart Will Go On". When I saw "Titanic" for the first time I cried when the ship broke apart. Now only the beautiful song makes me cry.
Although three hours make "Titanic" almost too long, it's a great movie, which I like to watch again and again. I don't like Leonardo, but I love that movie!
