Titanic

Summary: excellent
Review: The plot of this "drama on the high seas" is excelent. The only drawback is the dialogue. Often, it is simple and not very exciting. The dialogue of the character of Rose, for example, usually does not go more than 15 words without the utterance of her (in the eyes of her mother) unfit companion, Jack. Many say "if you want to see a great movie, walk into Titanic an hour late." I find this to be erroneous. Even though the dialogue is a bit slow sometimes, i still enjoyed Titanic, and will continue to enjoy it. As I said, Titanic is an excellent movie. Best in a theatre, but probably very good at home also. END

Review: This movie blows so much it should be in the guiness book for world's biggest piece of excrement. Only redeeming scene: when a guy falls off the back of the upended boat and clangs against the propeller on the way down.

Summary: Love Story of a Lifetime
Review: I first saw it when I was thirteen and was touched beyond anything I could describe. I'm almost twenty now, and my opinion's unchanged. Nothing could top this movie. The acting's incredible, the music's the very essence of love, and the story is not only haunting, but strong and hopeful despite the tragedy.The magic doesn't fade with the age of the viewer or the size of the screen.

Summary: YOU JUMP, I JUMP
Review: Is one of the lines that made this movie GREAT!! This movie is about 2 people (Leo and Kate) who fall in love on the "Unsinkable" Titanic. But when Kate's fiance gets jealous and takes charge, and things start to heat up between Leo and Kate, the Titanic hits the iceberg. It's a race against the clock as they try to get out of the Titanic. This movie has a great supporting cast and great special effects, but still it's not PERFECT. The begining is just the relationship talking between Leo and Kate. Blah, Blah, Blah. But the rest is perfect. This movie has probably the deepest character devolopment I've ever seen.This movie has the humor, the drama and the action. That makes this movie great. See it.

Summary: Titanic is classic, enduring love story.......
Review: Titanic, James Cameron's 1997 hit starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, is one of my favorite romantic movies of all time. This film, set aboard the doomed ocean liner Titanic in April of 1912, is both sad and moving.
The media pundits speculated Cameron's $200 million epic would cause his downfall; signaling the end of blockbusters films and sink Paramount Studios just as fast as the Titanic sunk on April 14, 1912! How wrong they were in that conclusion! Not only were the media pundits proven wrong, but Titanic made over $1 billion in the global box-office receipts (due to some viewing the movie more than once at the movies). Titanic surpassed all the previous box-office hits to become the number 1 box-office hit of all time.
The movie is a disaster and love story in one, in my opinion. Rose (Kate Winslet) and Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), two star-crossed lovers that met on board ship, fell in love and crossed what then were vast class differences. The other actors in the move where great in the parts they played "Unsinkable" Molly Brown (Kathy Bates), Cal Hockley, Rose's cold and rude fiancé (Billy Zane) and the many others. When you see them going through what they went through you won't come away from watching it dry eyed.
The cinematography was superb, with each scene it was as you were there on board the ship looking and being a part of what was going on from the grand ballroom and dining area in First Class to the crowded and squalid Third Class steerage where many Irish and other foreign immigrants were going to America hoping for a better life for themselves and their families.
Not only did Titanic win 11 Academy Awards (including Best Picture, Director and Dramatic Score by James Horner), but Titanic's best selling musical score was the first soundtrack to reach the No. 1 slot on the Billboard charts in two decades. Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" will bring tears to your eyes, making you think of what Rose and Jack were going through as the tragedy unfolds on the ill-fated voyage. This finely honed piece craftsmanship by James Horner who has tackled musically adventuresome projects in his career including scores for Apollo 13, Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games and Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan.
For me, this movie will be an enduring and classic love story for years to come.

Summary: The Romantic Masterpiece On DVD
Review: 1997: We remember Titanic. The "ship of dreams" set sail from England to New York in 1912. It sank after striking an iceberg. Although many lost their lives, there were some survivors who recall with nostalgia, with sorrow, with a plethora of feelings and images the terrible disaster. One such woman is Gloria Stuart's character, Rose DeWitt Bucator. James Cameron directed a blockbuster, which earned him Best Picture and became the most popular film of the late 90's. And it all revolves around the elderly 100 plus Rose, remembering her lost love, Jack Dawson (Leonardo Dicaprio in his greatest and most memorable role). She says, "He saved me, in every way a woman can be saved." Although it is Jack who loses his life, he has made it possible for the ill-at-ease Rose to break away from the gilded cage of her loveless engagement with Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) and the pretentious society he is part of.

This film on DVD is the theatrical experience all over again. We genuinely root for the perfect couple that Jack and Rose are, we dislike the villainous, self-centered Cal Hockley. The romance takes up most of the first half of the film, embellished with the luxury of the ship's upper class dinner halls and ballroom. Authentic period costumes of the Edwardian era enhance the characters and their way of life. For example, Rose is trapped in a world built solely on appearances, on subjugation of women to be ornaments on their husband's arm. The wealthy elitists on the ship are pretentious and hypocritical (one of the aristocrats is even flaunting his mistress while his wife is at home with the children). The exception is the newly rich Molly Brown (Kathy Bates) who came from a humble Ozark life to newly acquired fortune made by the discovery of oil- these events are pretty much told in the musical "Molly Brown", herself based on a true survivor of the ship. She was a pleasant, unpretentious, caring, humorous noble woman whose spirit was as they said "unsinkable." Kathy Bates' portrayal of Molly Brown is quite enjoyable, as she seems to be the only noble and heroic and less hypocritical of the upper class people. Below deck, the lower classes are an earthy bunch, drinking beer, playing fiddles and trying to make the best of things.

We know what happens in the last half of the movie. Enhanced with striking, visceral effects and lots of water, the ship sinks in the middle of the Atlantic. Rose lives to tell her tale. The movie is a beautiful tale of survival, heartache and passion. Few films come that way. Nowadays, the love story between Jack and Rose may seem to sentimental and too unrealistic for some. But we know better.

Summary: Forever a Phenominon
Review: Few movies can rival the emotion and passion spilling from the scenes of "Titanic". With $1 Billion at the global box office, 11 Oscars, a haunting and record-breaking musical score, unforgettable scenes, and an epic second half, "Titanic" sailed its way into movie-making history books. Even with the historical and tragic ending already a give-away didnt stop "Titanic" from becoming the most famous and popular movie of all time.

Featuring an all star cast, including the leads Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Bill Paxon, "The Lord of the Ring"'s Bernard Hill and Gloria Stewart, the characters are superbly portrayed and relistic.

In the re-telling of the fateful maiden voyage of the R.M.S Titanic, Oscar winning director, James Cameron weaved a personal story into the journey. A story of strength, courage, hope, and above all LOVE. DiCaprio and Winslet blend together as one, as they bring to life the unbreakable passionate bond between two people with completely differnet pasts, but identicle dreams and joys. For a splendid first half, witness the growing friendship between Rose, a girl from the lords, and jack, a boy from the street.

Towards the middle of the film, you grow increasingly nervous, for soon, the terrible end will begin. And sure enough, the dreaded fall of the greatest ship begins, and Rose and Jack must begin the fight of their lives - the fight to survive, to escape the freezing depths of the North Atlantic and fight their way to the destined shores of New York.

You will laugh, frown, love and cry your way through this truly timeless epic. Soon you, like me, will build a very special place in your heart and keep it locked there forever. "Titanic" touched me in a way a movie has never touched before, i hope it does the same for you! The Heart really DOES go on when you relive the passion of "Titanic"!

Summary: Clumsy, heavy-handed romance, yet spectcular sinking scene.
Review: This movie is vastly over-rated, I really do not like it at all really, except one thing. The sinking. Incredible. You may forget you are watching a movie in that sequence. Unfortunately, you will end up caring for just random people who die rather than the main characters.

The way to tell if a film should win an oscar is by how long it lasts, in my opinion. The test of time is easily the hardest test for films, and few have withstood it. Those who have include "The Shawshank Redemption", "Star Wars", "Silence of the Lambs", and others. "Titanic has not withstood the test of time. It has been pretty much forgotten where I live. Now only teenage girls talk about Leonardo di Caprio in it. The film has only been out for nearly 8 years, while others came out decades before it, and still entertain us. "Titanic" falls flat. It sinks just like the ship it was named after.
