Easily the best film of the decade. Sure, the script might have been polished a bit more to make it less modern, but it was still very well done. The cinematography and the score are simply outstanding. A lot of people criticize Titanic because it didn't follow the real characters on the ship. Well, guess what. This was not meant to be a documentary. It was meant to be a fictional story set against the historically accurate background of the Titanic. Some people have tried to say that the movie was not accurate like Walter Lord's book. I have read the book, and Cameron must have memorized it to match the details so well. Besides, Lord wasn't even entirely accurate. His first book had the ship going down in one piece. Well, to all the critics of Titanic, I have this to say: If you want to go raise 200 million and make your own version of Titanic, you can do it however you want to. Cameron got the bucks for this, and it is his vision of the story. I happen to think it was money well spent. Wait and see, but I think Titanic will be viewed as one of the more important films in film history.
