Titanic(1997)
Genre:Adventure,Drama,Romance,History.

Writer:James Cameron
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.

I should tell you one thing that the camera of Nokia X2-01 is just like a normal camera.You cant expect any good photos.Also you have video recording but the videos are also not of good quality.So you cannot expect anything from the camera.Then I would like to tell you about the memory.The internal memory of the Nokia X2-01 is 55mb which is expandable upto 8GB through micro SD card.The phone has a standard battery that provides talktime of upto 4.5 hours .So i hope this review was helpful to you.

Cinema In Decades

Once there was a time when devotional movies were made which were quite successful and it was a delight to watch like Bhagat Prahlad, Jai Santoshi Ma, Shirdi Ke Sai Baba. then with a span of time love stories become famous from Mugal-E-Azam, Aawara, Shree 420 to Heer Ranjha, Pakeezah, Daag, Amar Prem, Aradhana,and many more. In short time Action took over the audiences especially because of Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachhan hits like Sholay (an all rounder film with both in lead), Dharam-veer, Jugnu, Charas, Aankhen, Deewaar, Zanjeer, Don etc.70s witnessed action-drama movies, whereas 80s was a mixture of romantic-comedy-action-drama. Superhits like Qurbani, Kaalia, Himmatwala, Betaab, Arjun and many more were the finest examples of all rounders.
Every actor was awarded with a trademark like Rajendra Kumar as Jubilee star, Amitabh as Angry young man, Dharmendra as The He-man, Jeetendra as Jumping jack, Dilip Kumar as Tragedy king etc. This made Indian film industry a global success. movies like Aawara, Shree 420, Sholay, Saagar, Guide, Hum dono were universally acclaimed and praised for wholesome entertainment. 90s showcased different era with mixtures of romance-action-suspense, movies like Ghayal, Damini, DDLJ, Karan arjun, Hum aapke hai kaun, Gupt, Border,Judaai, Dil toh pagal hai created history. Shahrukh Khan emrged himself as 'The Romantic Boy' and 'A Baddie' in Bazigar and Darr (1993). Sunny Deol proved to the 'The Rambo' of bollywood in Ghayal, Ghatak, Arjun Pandit, Ziddi, Salakhein. Two of my favorite comedians who made the decade humorous Govinda (Aankhen, Raja Babu, Coolie-Hero-Aunty No 1) and Johnny lever (as a supporting actor but a scene stealer). There were other hits Laadla, Deewana, Deewana Mastana, Gharwali baharwali etc.2000 brought a modernization in the industry where every thing was taken to a next level. there was a time when mostly romance was shown with two flowers together which indicates love between hero-heroine, but today everything is as transparent as water, thanks to Mahesh Bhatt realistic cinema and their camp's creation Emraan Hashmi. Bollywood is now much inspired from Hollywood in case of romance, action, violence etc.
But still it delivered some great hits like Badal, Kaante, Munnabhai series, Pinjar, Baghban, Dhoom series, Veer-Zaara, Main hoon na, Krrish, TZP, Race, Blue, Robot, Ra one. Now if we talk about music, old melodies are still a delight to hear, so sweet to hear them, but today gen songs is just a matter of a month next time you wont even bother to listen. Old songs got such nice, sensible, poetic lyrics they matched up with the film situation. Me and my family always discuss on it, i don't used to watch many old movies but when my dad shown me it was really amazing such good scripts, strong dialogues, dedicated performance by actors. A lot has changed, but this is what life is all about.

PS I Love You Book & Movie Personal Opinion Review

PS I Love you is one of those rare movies wherein the motion picture is better than the book. It was on my mind for a long time to either read the book or watch the movie, usually preferring reading the book first, but honestly, unlike the other movie-book combos of the same league like say Eat, Pray Love (Yes, Julia Roberts was fantastic in it), in case of PS I Love You, had I read the book before, I'd be in no hurry to watch the movie.
Perhaps my paradigm or perspective of the movie has been shaped by the scene from which I began watching the movie for the first time wherein its Holly's fortieth birthday and she receives a letter from her recently dead husband. After watching the movie for umpteen number of times, reading the book and going through specific extracts over and over again, I realized how beautifully the original book has been re-engineered while making a movie which revolves around Holly herself rather than the book which deals with the details of the lives of all other characters who sort of take a back seat in the movie.
This, along with the smooth slipstream of songs in the movie gives it a beautiful, dreamy, musical like feel while keeping the paradigm as well as the essence of the movie exactly the way it was intended to be.

To wind it off, PS I Love You, the movie, according to me is one of those benchmark movies which gives its audience (who presumably have read the book) a new dimension and a new flavor to relish the original printed work and even manages to give a different insight. Do watch it if you already haven't.
