This is the only question I can ask about this film. Why was it so popular, why did it win so many awards and why are so many people in love with it?This film won best picture, beating out the true best film of '97, LA Confidential. That movie had one of the most interesting stories, and some of the best dialogue a Hollywood movie has had in ages. The story of the Titanic is well known, and has been done to death in the past. The dialogue for Titanic is horrid, it was overly long by about an hour. What you're left with is the special EFX, which in all honesty aren't that great.I honestly can't see the film's appeal. Maybe it's because I'm not a romantic, but this film did absolutely nothing for me. Not even Kate Winslet's bare bossoms could save it.
