A piece of movie mastery. Judge this move as much for what it stands for, as what it is!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 1999)

To start these comments off, yeah, i am a huge titanic fan, yeah I have really seen it 129 times and no I do not drool over Leo, but this is a fantastic movie that people have judged too harshly by expecting something it's not!
James Cameron has managed to transport us back to 1912 to experience almost first hand the senseless (and completely avoidable)tragedy that was the sinking of the titanic. Now he could have done this in a variety of ways, A load of speculation, facts and figures dates and times (boring) or he could have followed the documented facts to the letter. (Ship left Southampton, got to the middle of the Atlantic, hit an iceberg, not enough boats, people died. the end) also boring.
By using the love story of Jack and Rose and by making us take them to our hearts. The loss that we feel for all those hundreds of people is enormous.
This isn't just a movie about sinking ship, or a movie about a rich girl and a poor guy who get it on. It is a true slice of history that is known about and now thanks to James Cameron, Kate Winslet, Leo DiCaprio,Kathy Bates and all the others it is History we care deeply about.
So next time you watch it, Don't think about the SFX or the love story or the sinking ship, think about what it gets across to you and makes you feel for all those people that died.in the real Titanic disaster.
