'Titanic' is a rare brilliant classic which was directed and written by James Cameron, this very good director also wrote and directed a great movie known as 'Avatar' which is currently the highest grossing movie worldwide
'Titanic' is only the second highest grossing movie worldwide and deserves all the billions it made, the real ship has been underwater for over 100 years and how come this is one of the only good movie versions of it?
Since 'Titanic' was well received and grossed over $2 billion at the box office worldwide, I just had to watch it, it also has actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet who give some pretty good performances, the rest of the cast are also really good (Gloria Stuart, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bill Paxton, Bernard Hill) and the story telling of 'Titanic' is just very clever
But what a very smart beginning; a bunch of treasure searchers find the Titanic searching for a for a necklace with a rare diamond known as the Heart of the Ocean. But in a safe, all they find is a drawing of a young woman wearing the necklace and nothing else. The drawing is dated April 14, 1912, the day Titanic hit the iceberg and sunk. An old woman, Rose Dawson Calvert claims to be the person in the drawing, she then visits Lovett and tells a story of her experiences aboard Titanic and how she fell in love with Jack Dawson, a poor artist who wins tickets aboard the ship in a game of poker
But what a very sad ending, Titanic sinks and shortly afterwards, Jack dies of hypothermia and Rose blows a whistle to grab the attention of a boat searching for survivors
Even though the ending is very sad, when Titanic starts sinking, the movie becomes really amazing and for only the second time in history, they actually show the ship breaking in half and just how they show all the sets flooding is quite incredible
'Titanic' is a masterpiece that made Leonardo DiCaprio more famous (he became famous for his best performance 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape') and Kate Winslet a big star as well (who was never famous before)
The first two 'Terminator' movies ('The Terminator' and 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day') were written and directed by James Cameron and were praised by everyone, I have never seen either of them but I have high expectations and I really hope to enjoy them
To conclude, 'Titanic' is definitely one of my favorite movies, a huge move for James Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet and a must see for any movie lover (since everyone went to see it, you can only assume that over a billion people enjoyed it)
