Titanic

After spending years developing Titanic, not to mention millions of dollars, James Cameron’s career was at a crossroads in 1997. Either his epic was going to be one of the greatest triumphs in cinematic history and make the filmmaker a legend, or it was going to be an utter disaster and end his career.

Well, Cameron’s career has been quiet, almost non-existent, since, but that’s mostly by Cameron’s choice after releasing the highest-grossing movie, both in America and internationally, of all time.

Titanic is a phenomenal movie by every stretch of the imagination. It features two characters – Rose (Kate Winslet) and Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) – who come from very different backgrounds in the beginning of the film. As time progresses, their relationship (and love) becomes deeper and more intense, with Rose’s family and fiancé standing in Jack’s way throughout.

Their story line is rather predictable, as is the case with most “romantic” movies, but so too is the fate of the ship itself. And while the dialogue and acting between all of the characters involved, including Rose and Jack, is fantastic, that is not the best part of Titanic.

Smaller things that one picks up on throughout the film is what makes Titanic truly great. The score, written by James Horner, is perfect in the way that it allows the moods of the audience to flow with how Cameron desired in the script.

The costumes, specifically with the upper class, add a great deal to the movie as well, making Titanic great to watch on a larger screen, and especially in high-definition. Lastly, the ship itself and all its intricacies make the audience sit back and become awestruck by the size and beauty of the great Titanic.
