Review of Titanic (1984) by Dylan D — 29 Jun 2015
Titanic is as complete as a movie can be, a beautifully crafted epic that dazzles with its pure cinema perfection -- technical, dramatic, and thematic -- in every single scene, enough to maybe even move some cinephiles to tears merely at the sight of its splendor, never mind the romance and the heartbreak and tragedy that hang over the first half and define the second.
Perhaps the film suffers from overexposure -- the box office, the Leo craze, and the Celine Dion song being the key "culprits" -- but perhaps it's also a hair underrated, if the number-two box-office grosser and winner of eleven Oscars can be called such.
Truly, this is a remarkable film in every single regard; everything working for it in perfect harmony, nary a thread out of place, and it looks every penny of its gargantuan budget. This is a real treat for the senses and an emotional roller coaster quite unlike anything else, a movie that will not only dazzle but move and inspire its audiences, too.
Sit back and watch it for the craftsmanship if for nothing else and prepare to be startled all over again.
