the tragedy of the doomed ship titanic have inspire many book and movie . the battle between nature and technology always catch man imagination . the late film concern this tragedy in the atlantic ocean be write and direct by famous action movie filmmaker jam cameron . the story of titanic involves two fictional character ( leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet ) from different background ( one be a hobo artist and the other be an aristocrat ) and how their love triumph over societal barrier and the tragedy of a sinking ship that they happen to be on . first of all and although use a historical name and this movie have little regard to history . the plot be build around two fictional lover and french diamond and and treasure hunter . the death of over a thousand of people on the great luxury ship of it time become a mere background . many historical fact be simply forget . where be the radio operator that ignore the iceberg warning . why be there no mention of the ship that be only 5 mile away from the titanic but do not come to the rescue because it captain fail to identify the distress signal . omit these fact be an insult to the tragedy . and what be the point of flavor this historical disaster with fictional cheesy romance when the story be already as sad a it be . the overall plot be rather shallow while rich equal greed and corruption and poverty equal compassion and heroism . it be very ironic to spend $ 200 million to make a movie about how money corrupts . there be absolutely no human side show in anti hero . it seem like billy zane be play a part of the devil . casting be also very poor . if dicaprio be 2 inch short than winslet and you could swear she be his baby sitter . the length of the movie be unnecessarily stretch to over 3 hour . first hour and the half be waste on establish the relationship between the character that be know to audience long before they go to theater and the dialogue that be use to do so make it even worse . hear corny pick up line such a i see you and this be my side of the ship generate more pain than the scream of drown people . also and joke be too abundant and rather lame . titanic do involve some move scene such a the part when the musician be play while the ship be sink but they be no way near anything original . the best thing about this film be it special effect and and that be the only thing that truly deserve an award . although this film lack artistical value in overall sense and the public could not resist a sentimental story star romeo ( dicaprio ) and and so the movie become a success . now it be safe to say that the industry will be less hesitant to invest large amount of money in a single motion picture and so it seem that titanic do achieve something after all .
