Genre:Adventure,Drama,Romance,History.

Rating:*****out of *****(stars)


The story:Titanic, the ship of dreams.
Is also known as unsinkable, and it was unsinkable on its departure on April 10th, 1912.
And on its epic journey, a poor artist named Jack Dawson and a rich girl Rose De Witt Bukater fall in love, until one night, their fairy tale love for one another turns into a struggle for survival on a ship about to founder to the bottom of the North Atlantic.

Rose leaves her fiancé Caledon Hockley for this poor artist, but when the Titanic collides with the iceberg on April 14th, 1912, and then when the ship sinks on April 15th, 1912 at 2:20 in the morning, Jack dies and Rose survives and 84 years later Rose tells the story about her life on Titanic to her granddaughter and friends on the Keldysh and explains the first sight of Jack that falls into love, then into a fight for survival.
When Rose gets saved by one lifeboat that comes back, they take her to the Carpathia with the six saved with Rose and the 700 people saved in the lifeboats.

Rose is an actress in the 1920s, and now 84 years later Rose Calvert is 100 years old and tells her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert, Brock Lovett, Lewis Bodine, Bobby Buell and Anatoly Mikailavich the whole story from departure until the death of Titanic on its first and last voyage, and then to Rose all Titanic and the real love of her life Jack Dawson is all an existence inside of her memory, and Titanic is to rest in peace at the bottom of the North Atlantic from 1912 until the end of time.

This movie is one of the best movies in the world and has won 11 Oscars along with another 78 wins and 48 nominations for various categories.the best thing about this movie is its gripping fell one fell for its characters.one identifies with its characters may it be Jack or Rose or even Jacks best friend fabrizio there is an instant fell of recognition with them.you fell for Jack as he hopelessly falls in love with Rose even after being aware of her background.the movie depicts a contradiction of thoughts between the rich and poor,societal norms,obligations etc.it beautifully showcases the discrimination towards the members of the lower class by the rich.in the middle of such norms and restrictions the purest emotion of love which crosses all boundaries of rich and poor and wins ultimately this is the message portrayed beautifully by James Cameron.

Moving on to direction what can i say its perfect. The cinematography excellent.a word about background score"AMAZING"MY HEART WILL go on by Celine Dion "WOW"The story is spell bounding.the dialogues are amazing and very much thought provoking for eg when jack says that he knows he is poor he doesn't have anything to give her(rose)yet he loves her.The dialogue is something like:Jack to Rose: I'm not an idiot, I know how the world works. I've got ten bucks in my pocket, I have no-nothing to offer you and I know that. I understand. But I'm too involved now. You jump, I jump remember? I can't turn away without knowing you'll be all right... That's all that I want. They've got you trapped, Rose. And you're gonna die if you don't break free. Maybe not right away because you're strong but... sooner or later that fire that I love about you, Rose... that fire's gonna burn out...(there are such beautiful dialogues in this epic movie).

There is not a single flaw in this movie according to me of course this is my opinion and i am no expert but i watched it with my heart and soul and i challenge anyone to watch it and tell me if it doesn't touch you somewhere.i urge those who have not watched it please watch it untill then you wont know what true love actually feels like.if i could give any more stars i would.its brilliant,spell bounding,touching,keeps you on the edge of your seats,magical rather superb,mind blowing,mind blasting rather is the right word.i was speechless after watching it the first time and i am still speechless every time i watch it.now the titanic is again going to make the world go crazy on the 6th April 2012 this year in 3 dimension.i am eagerly waiting for it to release in 3D and so are millions of its fans worldwide.

Thank you for reading my review.
