The 1997 film should not be confused with the Titanic movie made in 1953, or a made-for-television film of the same title that was telecast in 1996.
The soundtrack CD for Titanic was a big seller and led to the release of a second volume that contained a mixture of previously unreleased soundtrack recordings with newly-recorded performances of some of the songs in the film, including one track recorded by Enya's sister, Máire Brennan.
Titanic was nominated in 14 categories and won 11, being the second movie to win that number (the first was Ben-Hur with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King matching the record in 2004).

 Eye for Film : Titanic (1997) DVD Review
Titanic is being released as both two and four disc sets, with the four disc set containing the two disc's contents onboard.
The film is being marketed as a "director's cut," but be assured that this is the same feature film as released to cinemas.
Titanic looks every bit as good as it should with a glorious 2.30:1 widescreen presentation, enhanced for 16:9 televisions (the previous video incarnations did not have this increased resolution).

  RMS Titanic - Conservapedia
R.M.S. Titanic was a luxury passenger liner which sank after striking an iceberg on the night of April 14, 1912, while on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, killing 1,517 passengers and crew.
Titanic also had 16 standard lifeboats and 4 collapsibles, with enough combined space to carry 1,178 passengers, far short of the 2,224 persons aboard; many of the lifeboats were lowered down the side only partialy filled with passengers (many of those remaining onboard initially believed the ship to be "unsinkable").
Although the number of lifeboats was determined to be inadequate, [3] the Titanic had in actuality exceeded the British Board of Trade's lifeboat regulations, which had been written down for much smaller ships.

 At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Titanic (1997)
Films should be about their characters, not about their special effects or action sequences.
In Titanic, the special effects are stunning, yet they stay, as they should, in strict service to the story and its characters.
In the film, it takes about half that, but I suspect most of the time that was cut was from the early stages, before people realized what was going on.

 RMS Titanic - Wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
RMS Titanic (also SS Titanic) was the second of a trio of superliners intended to dominate the transatlantic travel business.[1] Owned by the White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, the Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time of its launching.
Titanic was 882 ft 9 in (269 m) long and 92 ft 6 in (28 m) at its beam, it had a gross tonnage of 46,328 tons, and a height from the water line to the boat deck of 60 ft (18 m).
As the Titanic left its berth, the powerful suction created by the ship's propellers caused the liner New York, which was docked nearby, to break away from its moorings and was drawn dangerously close (about 4 feet) to the Titanic before a tugboat towed the New York away.

In the film the ship represents a utopian dream of gilded age opulence, expansive executive autonomy, and naturalized social hierarchy, but this vision depends on hypocrisy, police control, and Faustian technology.
The film criticizes elite greed for life above decks and among the treasure hunters in the frame story, but it also protects from criticism the self-aggrandizing ("titanic") fantasies at the heart of the paradise the lovers seek.
In a maneuver characteristic of the post-Cold-War 1990s, the film closes not with any unsettling new insights into the deep systemic sources of the violence that destroys utopia, but rather with the sentimental narcissism of the now elderly Rose as she contemplates the nude sketch that she had Jack make of her.

Titanic didn't become one of the highest grossing films ever; it ended up as the highest grossing film of all time.
He also made Titanic a competent and compelling film that neatly balances two seemingly-mismatched halves, from the almost-pure love story of the first half and the tragic disaster of the remainder.
Titanic appears in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions, a fact for which Paramount has been ripped repeatedly.

Titanic was a lot of fun, and no doubt the most popular movie of all time, and let's not forget, a technical tour de force.
Titanic's strength is not in its writing, which could be evident in the fact that while it managed to get fourteen nominations, it failed to garner any for writing.
Titanic is a crowd pleaser today because of its special effects, and also because of the teen heart throb appeal of its star, Leo DiCaprio, however, effects become dated, and heart throbs fade.

When Rose remarks that the experience of being on the Titanic was "somewhat different" than Lovett's computerized re-enactment of the disaster, James Cameron is putting a human face on the tragedy as well as setting up the story of Jack and Rose.
Titanic is bursting with splendid individual scenes and diverse characters, each of whom represents a thematic point or human dilemma.
Most of the story is filmed on a faithfully reconstructed model 90% the size of the original Titanic, with everything just as it was, even the doors and the table settings.

 Salon Entertainment | Glub, glub, glub: "Titanic" goes under
In the opening scene of James Cameron's "Titanic," the most expensive movie ever made (as every review and article is duty-bound to mention), we see eerie undersea shots of the Titanic's submerged treasures and fixtures, as viewed by the movie's fictional underwater explorer, played by Bill Paxton.
It's a film made with boorish confidence and zero sensitivity, big and dumb and hulking even as it tries to fool us into thinking we're seeing elegance and gravity.
We know that lots of people died -- late in the film we see their bodies bobbing in the water, and we're even treated to a dead-baby shot, but we have very little sense of the dead as real people.

Horner that film music is meant to accompany and enhance the emotions of the film, not upstage them.
Back To Titanic has a great piece of action music put in by Horner, "A Building Panic." At about 3:55 the music gets kickin' with the choir then joining in (the choir part was on the trailer when you see the Titanic sailing on the sunset).
Music was such an integral part of the dramatic and emotional impact of "Titanic", and yet so much of the music created by James Horner and others couldn't be included in the first album that I felt compelled to encourage James to create a second album.

That the familiar story of the Titanic disaster is told with suspense is not as surprising as Cameron's clear-headed balance of truth and fiction, spectacle and tragedy.

 Titanic (1997) (Deep Focus Movie Reviews + Weblog)
Repeatedly throughout the film, Cameron offers match dissolves from Titanic's ghost-ship remains to his own shiny creation, as if the film's verisimillitude is somehow profound in itself.
Although there are a wealth of stories on Titanic, it's this cobwebbed melodrama that Cameron has brushed off and made the narrative focus of his film.
Titanic the ship is exquisitely rendered, but Cameron didn't have such exacting blueprints for the human beings who go down with her, and the result is cardboard characters with bleakly formulaic lives -- certain lines of dialogue and twists of plot are such hokum that it's actually distracting.

Titanic was released on December 19th 1997 in the U.S.A., and on January 23rd 1998 in the U.K. Having been to see it twice now, I would say it is well worth seeing if you are interested in the Titanic.

In a scene which was cut from the final version of the film, when Ida was requested to enter a lifeboat, she refused, saying to Isadore “We have been living together for many years, I won’t leave you now”.
Mr Cameron is on record as having said he deliberatley chose to film the scene that way as andquot;becuase of the size of the iceberg it is reasonable to assume they were distracted by somethingandquot; and yet he can provide no evidence to support this.
The film shows the Statue holding a torch with a gold flame, not the original.

Spiralling costs that led to it becoming the most expensive motion picture of the 20th Century, and a cast without any big stars seemed to doom the film before release.
Previous disaster epics like "The Poseidon Adventure" or "The Towering Inferno", used a layered structure of introducing many characters with separate stories that would interact towards the inevitable calamity.
"Titanic" offers up only two central characters, with DiCaprio playing an impoverished artist, and Winslet the wealthy bride to be of the wonderfully demonic Billy Zane.
