Titanic (1997)
I've always been interested in the Disaster that surrounded the ship...
And never really cared about the "party" vibe that Ocean Liners had at the time... In addition, I didn't feel that movie needed the fictional story of Jack & Rose when there were so many real people on board who were just as interesting, and whose stories should have been told instead...
While there were some fun and interesting moments in the first part of the film... I just feel that it was only needed for the set up of the second half...
I've seen several films about Titanic, and I don't think any other film, tops Cameron's depiction of the Collision with the iceberg... Great editing, great tension, and great score... When I watch the scene, even today, I still feel that waiting for eternity, that even the crew had, of waiting for the ship to start turning away from the iceberg...
The rest of the movie, was almost just as good... from the passengers and crew, experiencing the ship flooding, to the ship falling apart... and finally it breaking into two, which every Titanic fanatic had been waiting 10 years to see on screen...
The second half of the film, is all I wanted to see, back in 1997... And it was worth it...
When I put the movie into my DVD player, I usually go straight to the collision with the Iceberg and only watch the second half, and skip all the earlier fluff, from the first half...
It just felt like two different movies, put together.
No could have been better than Jack and Rose in Titanic otherwise you would have named them instead of rambling on.
