Titanic (1997)
Unfair Hate
I really don't understand why people hate Titanic. On a pure technical level, it was groundbreaking, the span and width of an epic film was faceted in this film. There's a reason why it won 11 Academy Awards and is still the most grossing film unadjusted for inflation. If movie tickets had been the same price as it was in 1997/98, The Dark Knight would have to make $900 million dollars to catch up to the amount of tickets Titanic sold.
The success of Titanic was not because of schoolgirls fawning over a story of lost love. That is a delusion. When people think of Titanic now, they feel embarrassed because they fell in love with the movie when it came out, but now, for some reason, deem it too corny. It deserves everything and anything it got, award and money-wise.
82 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, yet an incredibly unfair 7.2 on IMDb. James Cameron fans know that both his dream projects Battle Angel (2010?) and Avatar (2009) would have never come in to fruition if it wasn't for Titanic.
Titanic is big, bold, touchingly uncynical film-making. Was it the acting that made it fail? No. Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are doing mighty fine in terms of their careers. Was it the story? Old-fashioned story-telling was the highlight of many top critics, according to RT. And to many people, though they may be reluctant to say it, had their tear ducts on full mode at the end of the movie.
Watch it again, and this time without your preconceived bias and prejudice. Watch it with a clean slate, and you will realize that the talk is really just.. talk.
Till the day I die, I will defend this incredibly clever, classy and colossal piece of epic cinema. I can't bear to see it wither away like this.
Titanic will forever be in my top movies list.
Futurama: The Luck of the Fryrish (2001)
Tissues Will be Needed
This episode was pure genius. Not only did make me cry, which is something very hard an animated series can do, but it showed some insight to the characters of our beloved Futurama. Clever writing and great plot twists helped achieve a great episode. Quite possibly the greatest episode, just ahead of "Jurassic Bark." Upon watching this episode, people will realize what genius Futurama really is, and the sad fact that it was canceled brings even more morose. But anyway, do yourself a favor and watch this episode, it is the best. Kudos to Mr. Groening and Mr. Cohen for creating this incredible series which such moving and touching episodes.
Bring a box of tissues while your at it.
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993)
What A Wonderful Film
This is probably an all around perfect film.
The story is of Bruce Lee's, his childhood, his indulgence in Martial Arts at a young age, his running from his *demons* and his love with his future wife. The themes in this exceptional movie contain, overcoming your demons or fears, diversity, and most of all passion and love.
The acting was beautiful, especially by the two leads, I am so surprised that both of them are not acting in any major films, it would have been a great boost in Hollywood. Rob Cohen is an excellent director. The music by Randy Edelman is fantastic, truly inspiring. This film is wonderful and I recommend greatly on seeing it, you will enjoy your time.
