Titanic [1998] (DVD)

Well its time for another film review, I really should try reviewing some products from time to time, but I actually like reviewing films, so ill guess Ill stick with it for now. My next review is on the smash hit blockbuster Titanic, which was directed by James Cameron and starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The film was released in 1997, and was given a classification of PG 13. I remember this because I was only 12 at the time, and went to see it with my parents. There is nothing more embarrassing than sitting with your parents whilst Kate Winslet is getting but naked whilst DiCaprio is drawing a picture of her. Well nevertheless, even though I was young I ...  Read the complete review

This film has an all star cast, that was also the making of some people. i mean Kate Winslet and Leonardo Decaprio had done films before titanic, but this was the film that really made me notice them. It was this film that showed their true acting skills. as for Billy Zane he was already a known to me, but this film made him into a big fan. As there has been loads of films made of Titanic, my first thought was oh no not another one, you expect them all to be the same, but not this one. Obviously the basics of the story are the same, but this had extras added in to make the film even more better. I liked the fact that at the beginning it had an old lady who was ...  Read the complete review

This film has made something like over a billion dollars since it opened in cinemas in 1998. That is more than budget of most countries. The film is called Titanic because it is set on the doomed ship. Sorry to let the worse kept secret out the ship sinks. Movie is not about the ship it is about people on the ship most of whom perished in the cold Atlantic waters. The two characters that appear on the screen most are Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson. They meet, they fall in love and their story ends in tragedy. No money is spared in the making of this film. It is very expensive film. This shows in the background of ships halls, ...  Read the complete review

The movie is down to history books. With eleven oscars, one need not comment on the beauty of the movie,. James Cameroon has done a very good job. James Cameroon has wonderfully merged the present with the past. The old woman's story in retrospect is handled beautifully. The reconstruction of the Titanic in itself awe inspiring. kate Winslet and Leonardo di Caprio lack chemistry; though Kate Winslet looks lovely. The refusal of some of the passengers being in a dazed state and refusing to accept that the ship is sinking is heart rending. The background music is good. The scorn the upper class feel towards the poor is depicted well. The scene where in the Titanic ...  Read the complete review

Directed by James Cameron and having a budget of over $200 million, Titanic was tipped to be a huge failure, well, I say failure, but it wasn’t expected to rake back the amount of money that was spent on the making of the film. How wrong could they be! This film was a massive success. I’m sure you can all remember around the time it was released in the US and everyone was raving about it over there and then a couple of months later it was released in the UK and we were bombarded with people saying how good it was and reviews of the film. Again, when it came out on video I can remember trying to find it to buy but couldn’t all the shops had sold out! The ...  Read the complete review
