This topic is REAL.

It is just a very great movie all around. Ive probably seen it 20 times. A ton of amazing actors. Not just Leo and Kate but Kathy Bates and that Old dude that was in a bunch of things and is also in The Flash series. Ignore Billy Zane, he doesnt matter.

I think a lot of guys instinctively kinda act like they dont like the movie or arent interested in watching it because for whatever reason it kinda adopted a reputation of being a chick movie or whatever. And thats probably because its a love story and it takes place in the middle of this big historic tragedy which I totally get is a dumb thing. But even despite that it manages to be a great film.

I think it really holds up too. The movie is simply gorgeous visually and the effects still hold up and show just the enormity and scale of what is happening on screen.

and I dont care what anyone say. I dont care how many times you heard it on the radio or from someone elses radio or whatever, the song still fucking slaps

I mean, I don't know, fucking to a bunch of people dying seems kinda crass to me.

some people say that inserting a love story takes away from the actual event and real lives that were lost

but really by adding a relatable story they probably connect with people more, so the criticism is kinda dumb

it absolutely can be done badly though, I would say Pearl Harbor is guilty of it

huh. i guess that just seems like completely normal storytelling to me. like would those people also object to a movie about a tragedy that focuses on a fictional friendship, or is it just romance thats supposed to be too trivial for historical fiction

The movie is too long. The fact that you have to hear that damn Celine Dion song throughout the entire movie is what killed it for me.

The movie is a stand-out, noone would sincerely say it's bad who's looking to be taken seriously as a movie critic. It was, after-all, the highest-grossing movie for like what, 17 years or something like that?, replacing and behind only the original Star Wars for how long it held that title. New movies that have since replaced it at best-selling of all time like Avengers and Disney Star Wars (barf) have not lasted at the top spot and keep bumping each other off; Titanic's reign says something.

The fact that the same guy who did Titanic also did Terminator 2, The Abyss, (and also that documentary about the deep underseas?) makes him something special, personally I like him more than Steven Spielberg.

My Heart Will Go On was great, it's too bad the chick who played Rose (Kate somethign? forget) mocked later, but I'm guessing she was probably over-exposed to it.

I never watched it until I decided to watch all the Best Picture winners, and I ended up really liking it.

I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but the one thing that bothered me from what I can recall is that it's rather long? So it was a bit much for kid me to sit through.

thats understandable, theres a lot of eventful stuff that happens but its obviously not a movie intended to entertain kids

like I love the movie Goodfellas but if I had to watch it when I was like 8 I would have been bored out of my damn mind and just be mad that I couldnt play Super Nintendo the whole time
