Titanic Movie Review

“A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets,” Rose (Gloria Stuart), a 101-year-old woman, tells Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton), a fortune hunter who is using the latest technology to explore the wreckage of the Titanic in his search for a priceless jewel. She then tells the story of what happened on the fateful night of April 15, 1902, when the unsinkable vessel hit an iceberg. Read the story of this fateful trip in our Titanic Movie Review.

Synopsis

Rose (Kate Winslet) is an unhappy 17-year-old American set to wed Cal Hockley. Cal (Billy Zane) is a fabulously rich young man favoured by her mother (Frances Fisher). Rose’s mother is a social climber who views her marriage to Cal as a step up the social ladder.

Even though Cal is awed by Rose’s beauty, he has no interest in the yearnings of her soul. Ready to leap off the deck rather than face a future of upper class ennui, Rose is rescued by Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a free-spirited artist who is returning to the States after seven years abroad as a vagabond. She defies the social barriers that separate them because he alone respects the mystery and the potential of her soul. The young couple find ways to be together secretly on the ship and share some magical days filled with all the risks which must be taken to fully experience the present moment.

Review

Writer and director of Titanic is James Cameron, who has done a truly amazing job. The love story of the Titanic is set against the backdrop of the most spectacular calamity of the twentieth century. Unlike other disaster stories, this one focuses all of our attention on Rose and Jack. In the background though, there are two other characters who also win our allegiance. One is an Irish-American woman, Molly Brown (Kathy Bates). The other is the architect of the ship, Thomas Andrews (Victor Garber). The finale is a special effects dazzler. Those scenes pale in comparison to the dramatic and creative ways Cameron exalts the salvific power of love.
