"Titanic" the most classic movie, watch once cry once. I don't know how to use the words of grandeur to describe "Titanic", released in 1998, the box office is like a cracker, with a rocket-like speed climbing to the world's first position in the history of cinema, and dominated the list of twelve years long. The 3D re-release fourteen years later easily swept more than a billion dollars at the domestic box office.
Great love itself
If only a cruise ship crashing into an iceberg can only be a disaster movie, it is difficult to become an heirloom classic. But Cameron injected the element of love into it, and that's what turned it into a miracle.
China's four great tragedies, Tianxian, Meng Jiangnu weeping on the Great Wall, the White Snake, Liang Zhu, etc. are not related to love, foreign Romeo and Juliet, Orpheus and Ulysses, including the fairy tale of the prince turned into a frog, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Daughter of the Sea, etc., are all to love as the main carrier.
So when this gorgeous cruise ship is paired with a great love story, it is also destined to immortalize the film.
Luxurious creative team in the film "Terminator" and "True Lies" after the notorious James Cameron had another bold idea, he was ready to the 1912 Titanic cruise ship sinking accident as the theme, to create a love story on a cruise ship. With Cameron's status at the time, his idea naturally got the go-ahead, and Fox immediately invested in the preparation. In order to realistically restore the Titanic, Cameron first spent a high price to buy 40 acres of land in Rosas, in case of emergency, and then bought down 60 acres. The sea in the movie is built artificial lake, which can hold 350,000 gallons of water. The hull model of the Titanic was constructed entirely of steel, and no corners were cut in the magnificent interior.
Under the guidance of detail-oriented Cameron, the pre-preparations were proceeding in an orderly fashion. Then one day, the president of Fox went to visit the class, after all, it is an investment of one hundred million, he wanted to see how the shooting was. Cameron was embarrassed to tell him that one hundred million dollars had been spent, to continue, it is estimated that another hundred million. You have to know that in 1995 or so, the cost of spending 200 million dollars on a movie had never been spent. Titanic is slowly surfacing under such a lavish creative team.
Masterful directing
The rise of James Cameron was also the rise of special effects in movies, but it would be a mistake to just assume that James Cameron relied only on special effects.
The ten-second sequence in which Jack shouts "I'm the king of the world" at the top of the deck of a cruise ship is classic enough to be written into a textbook. The dreamlike shot of the Titanic's interior is also a testament to Cameron's skill.
The whole movie is well-structured, without a single superfluous shot.
