The art of the movie Titanic and Titanic itself

  We will never know if it really was a certain iceberg that killed so many in a tragic Titanic crash.

I was never born in 1912. The actress Gloria Stuart who portrayed the elder Rose in the amazing movie "Titanic" in 1997 would be the only one that knew.
   She was born in 1910 and was traumatized by all the imagery that was taking place when she was doing her scene, she was brought to tears.

   But we know the facts of what really happened, but not by the movie. We know many lives were lost, and many lifeboats did not come in time to rescue the drowning victims in the freezing river.


In the movie, we know of two lovers are torn apart by class and brought together only to be torn again by tragedy.

    The acting between Leo and Katie were very good. Kate Winslet almost ended up getting pneumonia because she was going through water trying to find the character Jack (Leo) who was down below right when the iceberg hit and there was nothing but water everywhere.

   Back in 1912, there was barley many footage used. Only small photographs and newspapers reporting of the tragedy.

   It has been over 10 years now and they played the 1997 movie again when Titanic turned over 100 years old in April they released it in theaters and played it in 3d.


    Some people don't like the tragedy of the sadness it brings on when over 1,500 souls were lost. I know it is sad, but for some reason, I like movies that are based on truth and reality although some of the plot was on lovers that never existed.

      Billy Zane played Kate Winslet's evil fiancé; and some actors portrayed real people that either survived or died on the ship. Molly Bates portrayed a rich women that made it out alive and Victor Gaber portrayed sir Thomas Andrews who built the ship and decided to go down with the ship.

    The captain went down as well as did many others famous or not, it's still very tragic. But the art of  the story is very good and for it; it won over 11 academy awards including best picture.

Knowing what happened to all those sad people makes me appreciate what I have and knowing that even a ship and an iceberg can suddenly take away a life.
     Till then, enjoy the beauty of a ship or a masterpiece of a 1997 work of art. In the words of Leonard DiCaprio: "I AM KING OF THE WORLD!"
