what inexplicable . firstly and the hatred towards this movie . it may not be the great movie of all time and but gim me a break and it get 11 oscar for a reason and it make eighteen hundred million dollar for a reason . it a damn good movie . which bring to the other inexplicable aspect of it . i have no idea whatsoever why this movie leave such an impression on me when i saw it in theater . i have rewatched it on tv and video and and it have none of the impact it have when i saw it on the big screen ( twice and or maybe three time and actually ) . but that might be it and the appeal of it . it a movie and yes and capital m there and it an epic and it a spectacle in the order of go with the wind or ben hur . now and ben hur and go with the wind seem kinda hokey to me and with the hammy acting and excessive melodrama . not that titanic have none of that . well and the acting be actually very good . the melodrama be quite heavy hand at time . but the reason titanic work be that it such an emotional ride . i usually enjoy movie that stimulate the mind and or give me a visual thrill . this movie isn not exactly dumb and but it not cerebral at all . the visual thrill be simply mean to an end and to fuel the emotion of the audience . i do not cry when bambi mom die and i do not react to tearjerker . but this be a tearjerker to the power of ten million and an emotional rollercoaster that and if it be a regular one and would make buzz aldrin scream like a little girl . and i be sure that if you see it on video and have decide that you hate it and and have a ready supply of cynicism and then you can thoroughly dislike this movie . but if you let that disbelief suspend just a bit and if you give this epic melodrama the benefit of the doubt and you will enjoy it completely . and look at the top ten gross film of all time . be a single one of them bad . be a single one of them worth a score of negative . no and not even the phantom menace . and this movie make 1 . 8 billion dollar worldwide . it can not be bad . not possible . positive . p. s. how can anyone even consider compare this to spiderman . spiderman be a fun movie and but it be a total 9/11 kneejerk that cause it to gross as much a it do . it simply wasn not anything all that special . no one will remember it in 50 year . but i be pretty sure titanic will be remember .
