“I’m the king of the World” those were Leonardo DiCaprio’s words as eh outstretched his arms on the dream movie of James Cameron. Yo did you know this movie won 11 academy awards? Only won or equaled to by LOTR #3? With a slightly smaller cast and generally two unknowns who were about to make movie box office and movie cinema history. This movie was titanic in every way, the way it was filmed, the cost, the production, the stars, the idea, the award sweep, the audience, it was the movie that was literally unsinkable. I’ve watched everything documentary like on this moive and I can tell you it was the little engine that could. I was 8 when this movie came out. My parents were so friggin;’ happy when this movie came out and because it was rated R they couldn’t take me so my consolation prize was a titanic t-shirt that I had until I was about 15. This movie totally made it big and it is forever inspiring really bad spin-offs of the first opening line and then the one with Leo and Kate on the rails. One of my favorite movies “Love Actually” uses it for romantic therapy. The story of the underdog romance will go on and onnnnn… Celine Dion status.
