James Cameron’s epic love story ‘Titanic’ has mesmerized its critics and been admired for two decades and more. The bewitching, heart-melting romance has been on the topic of many movie buffs since it was released many years ago. It has a unique factor that captures the heart and soul of viewers of every age and every taste fulfilling their heart with an everlasting impact. How can this be? How does an entangled romance end in an ill-fated luxury ship? Let’s go deeper and see the interior of a colossal iceberg.
Plot
A 100 old Rose DeWitt Bukater, a survivor of the Titanic shipwreck, retails how she embarked on a life-changing experience on a luxurious ship, after seeing a drawing of a young nude woman on the TV. With her granddaughter, she goes to the Keldysh (The research vessel). There she relives her memories.
In the summer of 1912, seventeen-year-old Rose starts the voyage to the USA with her fiance Cal Hockley. Rose’s mother, Ruth believes that a marriage between her daughter and Cal Hockley will resolve their financial matters and will bring the high-class life once they used to live with. Meanwhile, a young and hopeless artist named jack Dawson gets a free ticket to the Titanic after winning a poker game. He sneaks in to ship at the last time with one of his friends.

Life unfolds at the ship, after foreseeing her life with the old and boring Cal Hockley, Rose decides to end her life. She attempts to jump to the sea by climbing the stern railing. Just at that moment, jack sees her and rescues her by pulling her back to the sea.
Jack sketches Rose
They develop a strong friendship under the rigid opinions of their elders. They live a life of their own, jack draws a sketch of the nude Rose wearing only her precious necklace. It is in the lover’s night that they witness the ship’s collision with a massive iceberg. Meanwhile, Cal Hockley discovers the sketch and steals the precious necklace.
The Titanic starts to sink inch by inch. Passengers get anxious and Rose and Jack find themselves in a life-threatening situation. Carl tries to get Rose into a lifeboat but she refuses as she can’t leave Jack alone. Passengers are in total madness as they attempt to survive in any way possible. Jack and Rose flee to the stern rail as the ship breaks in half. The rail breaks as they fall into freezing water. Jack finds a wooden panel that is enough for one person and gets Rose onto it. Time passes and RMS Carpathiaia comes to the rescue. They save only the rose as Jack has died in the freezing water. The age-old Rose finishes her story as her grandchildren and listeners are stunned in amazement.
The Kings and Queens – “The perfect blend”
A shipwrecked romance needs a crew that would give that “Extra Special” thing when the director wants them to. Mr. James Cameron has done exactly that. Jack and Rose. Two main characters in the movie. They must be young and seductive and have that age-old charm. 21 years old Leonardo DiCaprio, with gleaming cat’s eyes and two-toned blonde hair. Able to demonstrate the freedom of a young artist while keeping that boyish attitude. He has done an alluring performance with a heartwarming warmth.

As Mr. Cameron says, “to take that energy and give it to Jack. an artist who can have his heart soar”. Then comes the enchanting Rose. A beautiful yet arrogant young girl who is entangled between an arranged marriage and a rigid mother. No one can portray her as Kate Winslet from England has done. She is the one with an X-factor, who is bewitchingly alluring with a hint of teenage rigidness. Summoned to act like a 17-year-old girl, the 22 old looks not more than 20. An Aristocratic who melts for the power of love, Kate is the queen of the show. It is the chemistry between these two that takes this movie to the infinite and beyond.
The Cinematography
Of course, there is a lot to love about Titanic. The cast, the settings, music, and many more. But for me, the true beauty of this movie lies in the cinematography. From costumes to locations everything looks unreal. Recreating the exact 1912 “Ship of dreams” is a significant achievement. The famous deck where Jack embraces Rose and the ever-popular musical score in the background is just beautiful. More than anything, the exquisite Grand staircase is something of a true talent. It is the most iconic addition on the ship. It is the pinnacle of cinematography at its absolute best.

The costumes are as mesmerizing as the people who wear them with pride. The early 20th-century fashion outfits are both fashionable and elegant. The 1st class passengers like Rose with shimmering ling gowns and bonnets and 3rd class people who are in the category of Jack with somewhat pale and ordinary outfits. They are perfectly balanced with an eye on their social status. After all, there was a world-famous fashion designer named “Lady Duff-Gordon” on the ship. The director adds beauty while preserving the history behind the story.
Now we move on to the shipwrecking part, the most nerve-wracking and high adrenaline scene. Blessed with skilled technicians, the scene impresses the viewers unlike any other does. The recreated RMS Titanic breaks into two pieces leaving the viewers in a nightmare. The ship sinks minute by minute when Jack and Rose try to escape desperately. Those two scenes are different from each other but unravel at the same time. It needs guidance and confidence from a man unlike any other. Take a bow, the mastermind Mr. James Cameron.
The Hearts will be going forever
No musical score from Hollywood has gone to much more admiration than “My heart will go On” has. Co-produced by James Horner and voiced by the angelic Celine Dion, the score was the silver lining of the Titanic. It adds color and makes this masterpiece a show to remember. The ever-popular soundtrack is played from time to time and has a bewitching factor to keep the audience alive.

The movie of the century
A heartwarming love story based on true events, lush cinematography blessed my angelic musical scores and iconic acting and casting, making “The Titanic” one of the greatest films ever made. They have never been a global hit like this and creations of these kinds are hard to come by. A meticulously planned gigantic project, directed by one of the world’s best. For me, Titanic has left behind an indelible impact as few others have done. The legacy it has left behind paved the way to thousands of others to follow. More than two decades after its original production it is still fresh like a homegrown apple. Titanic is the Titanic. Today and always.
