Well, to begin with, most of the people who must have seen my profile must have felt a bit awkward seeing TITANIC under my dislikes.
To begin with, I hate it when Celine dion starts belching out that haunting song. Believe me, I think she has one of the most amazing voice in the music world today but I simply don’t like this number.
The cast is good, chosen to the perfection, but the chemistry between Leo and Kate JUST DOES NOT CLICK! She acts as a ’propah’ Brit nanny to Leo, who seems just like a spoilt brat out to have fun, well...nothing wrong in that but people who have seen ’What’s eating Gilbert Grape’ will definitely agreee with me, I’m so sorry readers, but I really cannot associate Leo as Jack after seeing him as a mentally-challenged boy in ’What’s eating Gilbert Grape.’
The story, you might wonder is no great, in fact, it is very much like our desi Hindi movies---boy-loves-girl, girl-loves-boy, family-no-agree, one-dies, moral-of-the-movie, ’true love lives forever’ (especially during oldage!).
Oh yes, there are a few things that I like too of this movie, the cinematography was amazing, no doubts about that, on the whole the acting was superb, but among the cast, I think Billy Zane deserves a pat, he did a pretty nice job as the overprotective fiance (who wouldn’t be???)
And yes, don’t be surprised, coz I haven’t seen the whole movie, it was way toooo long, and one feels emotionally drained after watching this movie.
