James Cameron's Titanic

Summary: Making History
Review: James Cameron "made history" on two levels when he tackled the story of the infamous disaster. He made what will probably me the most accurate account of the disaster, down to the last rivet in the ship, and the last stitch in the cosutmes. He also made history by making the most expensive and lavish film ever. Cecil B. Demille would be jealous.Having worked as a make-up artist on the set for 5 months, words really can't describe the excitement of working for Mr. Cameron on this film. As difficult as things became, the cast and crew lived up to his expectations. This book almost manages to capture some of those moments. The photos are worth a thousand words. They show moments and processes that most moviegoers never get to experience from the back lot. The text could have given a less whitewashed look at the experience, but then again, the book is written for the film's audience, and not necessarily one that want's to see the warts and all.This book almost manages to capture the excitement of being there and offers a look at how, in the process of putting together the most expensive movie ever made, James Cameron made a movie as imortant and opulant as the Titanic itself.

Summary: Beautiful Photography!
Review: This book has excellent photography of many scenes from the movie. It explains all the measures of making the movie from costumes to digital effects. It shows every character and their part in the film. The shots of the replica of the Titanic are very nice. It tells you how they built and designed the ship. It's like the Behind the Scenes of Titanic except it's in a book and you don't have to tape it. I enjoyed reading about how they made the computer extras. They look very real. I recommend this book to any Titanic fan or photographer.
