James Cameron is one of those people that I'd like to chatter with. I'd like, someday, to have a coffee with him; enjoying each sip of the brewed beans, talking about his films and the knowledge he could share with me. (I've always had the vision of me doing films, someday--I hope it comes to reality.) We'd talk about "Avatar", one of my current loved films of him. Money seemed to second the motion as it surpass the classic, "Titanic" also directed by Cameron. Now, because the Titanic ship is so fancy and glimmering, they lifted it out of the Atlantic from being sunk and remade it for a three-dimensional spin-off.
For those who haven't watched the emotionally stirring Cameronian film, it is about a lad, Jack (Leonardo DiCarpio, a guy whose performance I intensely loved in this film and most in the Speilbergian film, "Catch Me if You Can") and a wealthy Rose (Kate Winslet, someone who I loved evenly as Leo). The two knows their start is rough, however 1912 seemed to be a precious gift--romantically, things stir in a different direction. The two develops an intimate relationship that defies each thing relentless. Rose's supposed fiancee, Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) seeds a deep flame that burns with deep anger and disgust towards Jack for getting Rose out of his arms.
Like the love of Jack and Rose, life remained filled with surprises. And what Jack and Rose was about to face is rather horror than a surprise. The Titanic, the renowned class ship that they're sailing on, hit an ice berg, causing it to wreck and slowly, terrifyingly, sank into the Atlantic ocean. Jack and Rose places down the most concrete proof of eternal love, and 84 years later, Rose returns to the ocean to retrieve a sentimental possession from a hidden treasure aficionado, flashing back the memories of horror, moments and tested love.
Another post-production 3-D that I guess started with 'Beauty and the Beast', 'Titanic' defies mortality of an old melodrama. There is no definite way to describe it again and the dictionary lacks of eloquent and non words to elaborate the beauty of the film. It is odd. To love a weakly written love story. I may be contradicting myself, but it is okay, really. 'Titanic' just have this innate magic to itself that is spellbinding, causing everyone to love it.

Perhaps the real person to applaud is James Cameron. He knows when to amplify and increase audacity and he knows when silence will perfectly work. His skills as a director translates very good in this movie; a plus factor were the performances of the actors that he seemed to just refine.
The 3-D is not the one that catches my eyes, though. The gleam of the prized-movie outshines the 3-D gimmick. Albeit it heightens the movie more in a decent range, 3-D seemed to be rather the background of an immortal emotion roller coaster. While it didn't felt 3-D (in my opinion) that much, I liked the fact that I have experienced 'Titanic' once more, in a relatively new manner.
It was made a decade and a half ago and it feels like having it today is the gift of our present. An oldie melodrama that seemed to still easily satisfy a moderner's taste bud.
