"A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets"
This spectacular epic re-creates the ill-fated maiden voyage of the White Star Line's $7.5 million R.M.S Titanic and the tragic sea disaster of April 15, 1912. Running over three hours and made with the combined contributions of two major studios (20th Century-Fox, Paramount) at a cost of more than $200 million, Titanic ranked as the most expensive film in Hollywood history at the time of its release, and became the most successful. Writer-director James Cameron employed state-of-the-art digital special effects for this production, realized on a monumental scale and spanning eight decades. Inspired by the 1985 discovery of the Titanic in the North Atlantic, the contemporary storyline involves American treasure-seeker Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) retrieving artifacts from the submerged ship. Lovett looks for diamonds but finds a drawing of a young woman, nude except for a necklace. When 102-year-old Rose (Gloria Stuart) reveals she's the person in the portrait, she is summoned to the wreckage site to tell her story of the 56-carat diamond necklace and her experiences of 84 years earlier. The scene then shifts to 1912 Southampton where passengers boarding the Titanic include penniless Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) and society girl Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), returning to Philadelphia with her wealthy fiance Cal Hockley (Billy Zane). After the April 10th launch, Rose develops a passionate interest in Jack, and Cal's reaction is vengeful. At midpoint in the film, the Titanic slides against the iceberg and water rushes into the front compartments. Even engulfed, Cal continues to pursue Jack and Rose as the massive liner begins its descent.
Cameron launched the project after seeing Robert Ballard's 1987 National Geographic documentary on the wreckage. Blueprints of the real Titanic were followed during construction at Fox's custom-built Rosarito, Mexico studio, where a hydraulics system moved an immense model in a 17-million-gallon water tank. During three weeks aboard the Russian ship Academik Keldysh, underwater sequences were filmed with a 35mm camera in a titanium case mounted on the Russian submersible Mir 1. When the submersible neared the wreck, a video camera inside a remote-operated vehicle was sent into the Titanic's 400-foot bow, bringing back footage of staterooms, furniture and chandeliers. On November 1, 1997, the film had its world premiere at the 10th Tokyo International Film Festival.
Review
Titanic was an excellent film, but definitely not because of anything Leo or Kate did. They, in my opinion, were just crowd attraction techniques. They could have used anyone for these roles and the movie would have been improved/worsened only slightly.
The real reason this movie was excellent was because of Jim Cameron's undying devotion to the project's perfection. He did countless retakes of key scenes, got behind the camera himself many times, and made sure every part of the movie matched the picture in his mind. He even drew the portraits himself! If all directors would put this much into their films, there would be no shortage of quality films, as there have been in past years. -

MY APPRAISAL
I've been procrastinating to write a review for this particular motion picture. I mean, what else left to say?? Titanic definitely is one of the most FANTASTIC and BIGGEST movie ever made in the history of film-making. The movie have EVERYTHING we needed to make one movie UNSURPASSED. But exasperatingly, some of the respected viewers gave movie as BIG as Titanic less than 4 stars! Few of them without fear and favour, gave Titanic half a star!! And I deeply apologize to state this : How dare you not to appreciate this work of art!?
"You jump, I'll jump!"
"A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me... in every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now... only in my memory."
"I'm the king of the world!"
"Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor, Rose. Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise." -

Thomas Andrews: I'm sorry I didn't build you a stronger ship, young Rose.
I don't know why this movie takes so much flack, especially years later when it has it's success behind it. It's one of the biggest movies of all time and the most successful, yet so many claim to hate it.
James Cameron makes an epic of a Romantic Drama/Disaster Movie, that is visually amazing. The recreation of the Titanic is so good, not just from the exterior shots, but from all the details shown on the inside as well.
It's neat to see this kind of movie from the guy who has focused on post apocalyptic sci-fi and Schwarzeneggar for most of his career.
All of the actors do servicable jobs. DiCaprio is charasmatic enough and Kate Winslet is of course good, but then you have an amazing supporting cast. Billy Zane as the rich bastard man. Kathy Bates as a big girl with attitude among the snobby rich. And then the great Bill Paxton as a treasure hunter in the present.
Ok, so the movie didn't win best Screenplay for a reason, some of the characters are sadly lacking, and it is basically a chick flick, but there are still some other characters given great moments.
My favorite is the designer/engineer Mr. Andrews, and then there are more like the captain and the band that stays and plays music.
It's epic length is dealt with well enough, but at that hour and 40somethin' minute mark when the ship hits an iceburg, things really start to move and it's great. Seeing people fall off the top of a giant ship has always been an impressive sight when I see this movie.
Of the problems with the movie I have, the biggest is the damn Celine Dion theme song, but the score is still enjoyable.
It's a good movie, that captures the tone of the sinking aspect of the story very well. -
