Titanic - 10/10
Now, when I say Titanic is a 10/10 film, I don't mean it's flawless (it certainly has its fair share of flaws). What I mean is that I personally find it to be a perfect movie-watching experience for myself. I feel that this is one of the few films that is able to transcend the feeling of just "watching a movie" and becomes something much, much more. It truly feels like you're experiencing something so much greater.
Watching Titanic for the first time is a memory of mine that I'll never forget. I was around 8 at the time, and me and my family were watching it on VHS in the living room. Going into it, I didn't think I'd care for it that much. I heard all the hype and the audience reviews regarding it, but at the time I was more of a Star Wars/Batman kid. But then I sat down and watched it... and I was absolutely mesmerized.
Never before had I been so emotionally impacted by a film. At time I was swept away with joy, and others, I was moved by sadness, doing everything I could to not cry in front of my family. At that age my favorite characters were people like The Joker, and Darth Vader, so I was surprised that I found a new favorite in Jack Dawson. He was a truly inspiring figure for a kid like me.
After the movie was over, I was in awe of what I had just seen. I was too embarrassed to watch the movie again with my family knowing, fearing that they'd make fun of me for watching a chick-flick. So the night after I snuck downstairs during the middle of the night and watched it again. Needless to say, I let them tears flow hard.
So yeah, that's my rant about how much I love Titanic. You don't like it? Well then..
Come at me!
