Titanic reputations


Titanic (1997)

Written and directed by James Cameron this film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Billy Zane. A rich girl falls in love with a poor boy on the doomed first voyage of the famous ship.

Without doubt this film is a massive technical achievement in film making and a step forward in special effects. When it comes to the plot of the film I found the story decidedly average, with the modern framing not adding much but it is hard to watch this film without having seen endless parodies and spoilers. At times it did seem like the main plot got in the way of trying to show the tragedy that was unfolding on the ship.

4/5
