Review of Titanic (1943) by Mario N — 24 Oct 2018

James Camerons Titanic is one of the best movies that I have ever seen in my life. Let's start this off with the fact that I am a huge fan of the Titanic. Not as much of a fan as Bill Paxton's character, but still a fan. I find it astounding how this ship sank and the stories of the passengers: what their experiences were when the ship sank and how the boat sank. For this reason, I found my jaw dropped during the "Iceberg, right ahead!" sequence of the movie and during the view where one of the lifeboats almost smashes the other boat and its people; during the "Nearer my God to Thee" scene and after. I wasn't able to eat my popcorn during these scenes, because Cameron made it so real and made us sympathize for all of the people that died on the ship. Let's talk about the love story in the movie between Leonardo DiCaprio's character and Kate Winslet's character. I bought every second of it. When they first met, I thought it was one of the best scenes, since Jack (DiCaprio) was able to convince Rose (Winslet) not to jump off. You have to be really good with words if you're able to convince someone not to commit suicide. Yes the dialogue between them was sometimes corny, but in the movie, the characters are supposed to be teenagers, so it makes sense that the conversation are corny. (SPOILER WARNING) I cried when Jack died since we spent so much time with him and Rose. It's so sad when you see Jack sinking to the bottom of the ocean that it will make you cry so bad. Billy Zane was such a douchebag! In the beginning, he doesn't really show this, but after the scene at breakfast with him and Rose where he literally flips the table, you start to dislike him more and more, until you're glad that he died, which was the case for me, but probably not for other people. (SPOILER WARNING) When he grabs Lovejoy's (David Warner) gun and tries to shoot Jack, I wanted him dead. He was that much of a douche.

So yeah. Titanic is a really good movie. You should definitely try to pick up a copy if you can. It's worth the money.
