I saw this movie opening day and it took my breath away. James Cameron’s fictional story of Jack and Rose entwined with real life occurances was haunting and absolutely beautiful. He is an amazing director and writer that this movie would not have worked without him. Kate Winslet was stunning as Rose and this movie belonged to her as you could not imagine anyone else playing this role. Leonardo Dicaprio was really good as Jack and he should have had an Oscar nomination for this role and the ever brilliant Billy Zane didn’t disappoint in his role as Rose’s fiance Cal.
His portrayl of Cal was so evil that despite being an awful person, you could not help but feel sorry for him, especially when despite all his doings he loved Rose so much. James Horner’s music was just as haunting and he always lifts the movie he works on the ultimate level. Kathy Bates was equally impressive in small role and provided quite a few of the laughs of the film. Everything from the special effects, to the sets to the costumes were pure magic. This would have to be one of the most wonderful films of the 20th Century and one that will never be forgotten.
