Definitely deserves the 11 academy awards it won - Titanic Reviews

This film is a visual masterpiece. The biggest blockbuster of all time won 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture; it deserved them all. Although the love story is somewhat dull and abject compared to some very original ones like in "Shakespeare in Love" it still carries an incredible emotional weight, as most will find out by the very last scene in the film; it will make you cry. The music is also a pivitol character in the film. Despite how many make fun of the theme song "My Heart Will Go On", orchestrated versions of that sound throughout the film provide an incredible power to the film's most emotional and heartfelt scenes. Obviously everyone knows the story of the Titanic so I'm not giving anything away when I say that the scene with all the people in in the water, drowning, freezing, and just basically dying is one of the most horrific visuals captured next to those in films like "Schindler's List" and the D-Day invasion in "Saving Private Ryan" (hmmm, both are Spielberg films). Anyways, this film is a must see; it is rather long but is well worth the experience.
