  Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is fantastic.
context: I like Titanic, but I appreciate the story & characters are super basic.
  However, the sets, costume, CGI, the whole grandure of it all is spot on. Everything about it feels so alive. It doesn't feel like you're watching a paint by numbers disaster film - it feels real somehow. >
  
  I was made to watch that shit three times when it came out at the cinema. >

  The sinking has some of my favorite scenes. >
  
  It was that wave of Hollywood blockbusters that took overly dramatized historic events >
  
  Like The Mummy >
  
  Propeller guy should have received a special award >
  
  It's not an unpopular opinion that Titanic was over-hyped. >
  
  have to disagree about the song, it's an undeniable classic >
  
  Fun fact - Celine Dion really, really didn't want to sing the theme song for a blockbuster movie.
  She eventually acquiesced, came in, performed one single take and fucked off home.
  Won an Oscar for Best Original Song. >
  
  i feel this sub really needs to put a statue of limitations of shit takes. bro's talking about a 26 year old movie like its current and literally everyone is still talking about it all the time. >
  
  *STATUTE >
  
  you are talking about a film that received its hype and praise ~20 years ago, correct? >
  
  Don't spoil the ending I haven't seen it yet! >
  
  Dude, just watch Ghost Busters 2.  You'll see that they pull into NY just fine. >
  
  Only to be greeted by Cheech. >
  
  Spoiler alert man. Not everyone knows the Titanic sinks at the end. >
  
  As always, need to have the opinion qualified by what is a “great” movie. >
  
  Why is that the pressing issue of your day? You are indeed, blessed!😂 >
  
  You’re in the wrong sub if you’re gonna comment crap like this xd >
  
  Truly an unpopular opinion.we both win! >
  
  yeah, they should've added aliens and shit >
  
  Cameron took note >
  
  It was that wave of Hollywood blockbusters that took overly dramatized historic events, made up characters and love stories that didn’t exist or need to happen for the plot to trick couples into seeing the film where all parties wouldn’t be bored. >
  
  I mean without the love story it would just be a disaster movie, and most people wouldn't have liked it nearly as much. Whether or not you personally like the movie is one thing, but saying it didn't need to happen is just dumb when the two main characters and their relationship is what resonate with people, not the literal sinking of the ship. >
  
  With the love story it’s a horror movie >
  
  How old are you? >
  
  Why is this a legit question lol. OP might be 15…so?? >
  
  I'm interested if this is an adult who got to witness the phenomenon in person or if this is like you put it a 15-year-old. Personally I don't care about the opinions of 15-year-olds but that's just me. >
  
  It was a well made movie with incredible effects and pretty good art direction. It was a cultural phenomena and the simple plot helped it reach a wide audience, also a simple plot doesn't equals a bad movie.
  All that said, it didn't deserve best picture for sure, that should have gone to lost highway >
  
  I read somewhere that the storyline and dialogue are simplistic so it could be dubbed to various languages easier.  That makes sense, but I think it was more a case of James Cameron being James Cameron. >
  
  James Cameron is the “special effects” director, not the “good story” director. I don’t think he’s looking at scripts  thinking about how to touch the audience. It’s more like “what crazy shit has nobody done yet?” Also he has a weird ocean fetish. >
  
  Didn’t he try exploring the Mariana Trench once? >
  
  He designed and piloted a sub. He was the deepest human record until recently someone beat him by like 5 feet. >
  
  
  The plot is basic as hell. Rich girl falls for poor boy after knowing him for all of one day. Poor boy dies to make the audience emotional. Dialog is mostly without depth and clearly to appeal to the masses.
  
  Basic doesn't mean bad though, also many great movies can be reduced down to a sentence or to, that doesn't make it a good critique. >
  
  I agree overall, but the acting is not that good. Through the whole movie, there’s a man baby unconvincingly pretending to have adult emotions. Leonardo Dcaprio is only good as a villain or a morally ambiguous antagonist. >
  
  I had to think for a second but I think that is spot on—his best performances have definitely been in that vein. >
  
  The movie is just like 2 hours of fluff so you can watch that one guy dong off of the propeller after it’s sinking >
  
  Wait….the titanic was a real ship?! >
  
  People like basic plots. Most people would rather listen to Dolly Parton than prog metal. 
  If you just want to know what happened to the titanic you can watch a documentary. The movie frames the disaster around a simple love story. It gives the story human stakes an audience can relate to. >
  
  Wrong >
  
  Consider the time it was aired though. Also it's got a bit of documentary side to it. >
  
  The costumes were good but yeah, never got the hype and I hate that damn song. >
  
  I do think Good Will Hunting should have won the best picture that year >
  
  I think you’re being too kind. Titanic is fucking awful. Full stop. >
  
  James Cameron is a hack, the loyd Weber of movies. >
  
  The Abyss is pretty fantastic, though.
