When you’re down in the dumps and need a little pick-me-up, there’s nothing better than getting into your comfiest pajamas, ordering a pizza (or three), kicking your feet up and start watching a good movie. But in a world overrun with films of every sort, how do you decide which one to choose? Do you pick a specific genre? Do you follow a friends’ suggestion? Do you rock/paper/scissors it?
Personally, we would advise against watching a horror movie – at least when you’re alone. Your friends’ advice might mean you’ll find yourself sitting through another one of their favorites, instead of your own. Finally, we’d tell you not to rock/paper/scissors it, unless you want to end up rewatching Moana for the 50th time, or any other random twist of fate. Instead, we humbly suggest you watch one of the best movies ever made. We are, of course, talking about Titanic.
Released in 1997, Titanic is widely regarded as one of the most iconic movies in cinematic history. This awesome romance-disaster was the creation of the one and only James Cameron and follows the lives of Kate Winslet (Rose DeWitt Bukater) and Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson). Although the characters in the movie are all fictitious, the events of the disastrous maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic is real, and pretty intense. The film itself is heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time, and will really make you think about the life you lead and the choices you make, as Jack and Rose swirl around one another in their fight for love and survival.
As one of the most successful movies of all time, it’s no surprise that the emotional rollercoaster that is Titanic is incredibly enduring. We love the cast, the iconic moments (“Paint me like one of your French girls, Jack”), the fact that Cameron has brought history to life, and the production of the entire film. Although we know from the outset that its ending will be not a happy one, we feel incredibly moved by the events that lead to the eventual disaster depicted in the film. However, there are some aspects of Titanic that we just can’t get our heads around – and neither can the rest of the world: most notably, ever its release Titanic fans have been asking one important question, which James Cameron has finally answered…

It’s no secret that James Cameron is quite the genius, and that despite all of his success, Titanic is still regarded as one of his greatest achievements. The epic love story of love, loss, heartbreak, and romance has been etched on the lips of moviegoers since its release in 1997, and it doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. With impressive special effects, intricately planned recreations of the Titanic’s notorious maiden-voyage, and creative production techniques, Cameron was an innovator in the world of technology and fully deserved the 11 Academy Awards the movie received – including one for Best Director. However, there’s one thing that has been bugging us all since its release, and now Cameron has had his say on the matter…
