Took me a while to get to watching this movie. I'll admit I was extremely hesitant on watching this movie because of the length, I shy away from movies over 3 hours in length. Boy am I glad I saw this great movie. Everybody should know the plot by now, so the largest ship ever built gets sent into the ocean and crashes into a iceberg and during this voyage a rich girl by the name of Rose meets a young man Jack an their love story proceeds from their. I truly enjoyed the present day perspective and than the flashback to roses journey aboard the Titanic. The "I'm king of the world" scene I extremely iconic and it was inspiring to finally see it. My goodness was Leonardo Dicapio amazing. He continues to blow my mind at how great of an actor he is and his ability to play any role is something else. He is arguably the greatest actor of all time. James Cameron did an amazing job with the camera work and the intense scenes with the ship sinking were magnificent. The special effects team was unbelievable and the CGI was incredible for a 1997 film. The soundtrack is one of the best ever assembled with "my heart will go on" and the Violin crew playing songs while the ship sank was funny and memorable. "I'll never let go I promise" as she lets go of his hand. Fuck you Rose we all know there was enough room on that raft for Jack. Although the final scene was very emotional, but I did not shed a tear. Unfortunately the last part kind of made me laugh. As disrespectful as that sounds, come on that whistle blowing, I'm done. And Rose casting the heart of the sea into the water was funny because of her grunt. As for the length exceeding 3 hours was kinda rough, but certainly bearable. The fan theory that Jack never existed makes the movie even more enjoyable. Just watching this movie makes me want to go on an adventure of my own some day. But I know that will never happen because I am a shut in who writes movie reviews instead. |
