"Titanic" is undeniably one of the most culturally significant movies of the 20th century. It's also the true embodiment of a director working at the top of his craft. James Cameron's eye for detail is simply masterful, and that spectacular final act has more than set the standard for the nonstop, heart-pounding excitement we expect from many blockbusters today. And then there's the wonderfully talented cast, which easily stands out as the heart and soul of the film. Nearly every character is established in a way that makes us care about them, making the tragedy that later unfolds something worth tearing up over, rather than merely enduring. That especially goes for the two lead stars, Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet), whom Cameron expertly builds a real emotional connection around over the course of three hours and fifteen minutes. Their dialogue is drenched in charisma and realism. Within every scene they're in, you can actually feel the passion they have each other. As for the masterful score by James Horner, his beautiful work goes without saying. The music he provides for this film is so powerful and poignant, it's almost like listening to a dream. Céline Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" is also a fantastic piece, as it still stands as one of the most memorable songs in all of cinema. But what makes "Titanic" so fulfilling and memorable as a motion picture is perhaps its remarkable willingness to withstand the test of time. Years from now, people will continue to be influenced by this wonderful film and everything it has to offer. With its brilliant cast, unforgettable story, magnificent set designs, and outstanding climax, "Titanic" will proudly live on as one of the greats in modern movie history. If I could, I'd give it a million stars instead of five!
