It also made legends out of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as star-crossed lovers Jack and Rose. Please there Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On, which became a fixture for the next decade or so. But its journey to the big screen experienced almost as many problems as the nautical disaster that inspired the movie. Get on board the big boat and find out “WTF Happened to TITANIC!”

    Going into this movie back in 2017, I initially “I’m not a fan of romance movies. I think this will be just an overlong melodramatic historic movie.” But then I watched it and when the credits rolled, I was taken aback by how amazing the film really was. I watched it with my mum and she was sobbing when Jack died. So was I admittedly.
    After that, I became so fascinated by the wreck and history of the Titanic.

    I remember the week this movie came out, my son had just been born. I also remember the media said that Cameron would never work a day in Hollywood again because he went so over budget. I was so freaked out by this smear of Cameron‘s character, I went and saw the movie four times opening week. That’s right, I watch 13 hours of this movie the week that it opened, and another four times before the movie left theaters. I wanted my ticket sales to add to the movies financial success.
    I even remember hearing, that James Cameron had to mortgage his house and assets, I heard that he even signed a contract saying that he wouldn’t take any money until the studio made back it’s money. Now that’s dedication Folks.

    Rose represents the survivors who had to move on while carrying the memories of those who died.

    I remember when it came out. I had to wait a couple months to see it, because of the huge crowds, and even those months later the theater was packed. At the time it was the movie that made everyone cry. And my sister was one of the preteens who were in love with Leonardo. Some years later there was a backlash against the film by critics; however, many of them had given it positive reviews when it came out. My theory was that they were embarrassed at how emotional the film had made them :p.

    When this film was released it also caused a massive avalanche of new interest in the ship, plus all the in-depth research generated by the production then made its way into the public sphere, leading to a surge in new factual books and documentaries suddenly appearing over the years afterwards. I was really into the Titanic as a kid and it was seen as a bit a bit quirky and , but then Titanic came out and for years after rarely a month went by when someone wasn't telling me something about the ship that they'd learnt or asking me a question about it. And that momentum hasn't eased up really since then, pretty amazing! Really enjoyed this review as well!

    Damn, 1997... I thought this came out in 1999... I already loved the story of the Titanic, this movie fueled my obsession. Mostly because it introduced people I didn't know of from the story. I didn't much care for the story of Jack and Rose as much as I did the others like Molly Brown, etc.
    Older now, looking back on the movie, the only parts I like really is ending. Amazing work with the sinking and having the crew return to search. It still pulls at my heartstrings and I get misty eyed.
    Wonder if James Cameron got himself a seat on the "new" Titanic that's supposed to be retracing the route the Titanic took and have the same luxuries - just... modern safety precautions for obvious reasons.

    Even though the film brought them great fame, both Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are now embarrassed by their performances in this film. Winslet called her American accent "awful" and feels that her acting "could have been better", while DiCaprio called himself a "young punk" in this film.
    During a particularly exhausting scene, requiring them to be submerged in freezing water for hours without respite, Kate Winslet whispered to Leonardo DiCaprio that it was her 21st birthday. DiCaprio playfully replied: "Sweetie, I don't care."
    After finding out that she had to be naked in front of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet decided to break the ice, and when they first met, she flashed him.
    (at around 2h 35 mins) In the scene where the water comes crashing into the Grand Staircase room, the film makers had only one shot at it because the entire set and furnishings were going to be destroyed.
    (at around 1h 26 mins) The hands seen sketching Rose are not Leonardo DiCaprio's, but director James Cameron's. In post-production, Cameron, who is left-handed, mirror-imaged the sketching shots so the artist would appear to be right-handed, like DiCaprio.

And casting pretty boy du jour DiCaprio *and* enlisting Celine f-ing Dion for the titlesong?! Oh, how I hated him for it, and for years I avoided seeing it. Then after a while (we're firmly into the DVD era now) I decided to complete my Cameron collection and finally give it a shot. Of course I was sold.

    Awesome movie. Still haven't seen it. :p I'm sure it'll look specatular in 4K. It's probably's Cameron's dream to work on the Avatar movies where he doesn't need to work as much with actors or stuntmen and can get the CG models to do what he wants. That being said, if the director has a solid vision in his head, cast and crew need to step it up. I wonder if overbearing directors will be going away with the more public knowledge of them. Will movies lose something as they bend toward being more relaxed and friendly or will they be better with people pitching in? All comes down to time and money, I think. Great video! Thanks!
