Titanic ( 1997 ) - 5 stars out of 5 stars

There used to be a joke saying when this film first came out,"Why see it,you know how it ends."Well I reviewed "A night to remember"a film based on a novel by a  surviving crew members accounts of that fateful voyage, on this blog and there are a few other films about that voyage,but this film is like "Casablanca"which I also reviewed on this blog,it just stays with you.See the trip is well known but a fine corny,weepy and well, damned good love story of a love so intense it lasts forever even if the lovers don't.Thats the Casablanca connection.Great performances by both Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet,highlight a fabulous cast and the FX is state of the art and fits like few FX films do without overpowering the story,rather they compliment it as well the should but sadly don't in far too many films.Kudos to writer and director James Cameron.What I liked most was the ending where the old woman goes to the end of the ship and…….( see the film)
Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.

84 years later, a 101-year-old woman named Rose DeWitt Bukater tells the story to her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert, Brock Lovett, Lewis Bodine, Bobby Buell and Anatoly Mikailavich on the Keldysh about her life set in April 10th 1912, on a ship called Titanic when young Rose boards the departing ship with the upper-class passengers and her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. Meanwhile, a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson and his best friend Fabrizio De Rossi win third-class tickets to the ship in a game. And she explains the whole story from departure until the death of Titanic on its first and last voyage April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning. Written by Anthony Pereyra <hypersonic91@yahoo.com>
