Apparently, it's not only loose lips that sink ships, icebergs can do
a number on a boat too. We all have some knowledge of that luxury
liner that had sunk into the cold Atlantic on that horrible night of
April 14, 1912. But this movie really helps to not only bring that
horror to life but rises to a level of realism by which story had
never been depicted before. The main characters of the movie are
fictitious but add a personal touch to the story. I think that helps
to convey the tragedy of the story as well. The movie deserved every
one of its 11 Academy Awards (including best picture and director).
If the amazing effects and the shear scope of this colossal production
aren't enough, the wonderful performances of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate
Winslet Gloria Stuart and Billy Zane will more than suffice. |
