Titanic Special Edition

I have no idea. Its puzzled me for a long time but I really really do think it was dire :eek: It made me avoid films with Kate Winslet in it until the Eternal Sunshine which I liked. Still detest di Capro with his half formed foetus face though. :mad: So it was never a good combination of stars for me to begin with and I have these epic love conqueres all sagas...............too :yawn: for worRAB.
 
The start and middle dragged, but the ending is a very powerful piece of cinema. I don't recall seeing a single person leave the cinema on the opening night when I was there with a dry eye, and that includes men, (and myself).

If the 58 minutes are about the other guests on the ship it might be a good thing, 58 more minutes of people dying would be far too much, youd be so sad by the end you'd wanna top yourself!

Paddy :D
 
agree completely, and alluded to as much already.

rarely have i ever been to see a film where you could literally hear a pin drop in the cinema as the entire audience sat totally transfixed by the film.

yes, there's some ropey dialogue earlier in the film, but as a whole there's just no way audience's couldn't have been drawn into that last 30-60 minutes if it was as bad as people often seem to make out.

I got the origional titanic DVD a couple of years ago and was really disopointed with the special features! It didn't have any! You would have thought that such a successfull and high budget film like that would have had tonnes of extra features like a 'making of' documenatry and interviews with the cast!
I'm looking forward to see what the new DVD is like.
I don't understand why lots of you are slating Titanic by saying it is a really rubbish film. I think the effects are amazing and although the storyline is a simple and classic love story, it did make me cry at the end. It was one of the 1st films I cried at!
 
I think Titanic got so big that eventually people turned on it.

Another example (stupid one like) is the Spice Girls. They were huge back in the late 90's and now people just don't seem to like them at all when there mentioned. Its like they got so big people turned on them.

Anyone get what I mean.
 
I liked Titanic, but could have done with a lot less of Leo & Kate and more about the boat (which was the real star of the movie). The really sad part was when the ship was sinking and the passengers knew they wouldn't get off and were resigned to die. The whole Kate & Leo thing just bored me and I was glad to see him float off!

Oh, and as I write this, I am sitting less than 2 miles away from where the ship was actually built!
 
Hey I still love the Spice Girls!




Hey, I ADORE kate winslet. Thats my reason for buying this special edition. I have a love/hate relationship with this film. I know it can be rpetty terrible but I end up watching it al the time. Not sure about an extra 58 mins but I'd be interested to see makings of.
 
just seen this advertised, anyone know what the other ending was or has it been top secret till the release of the dvd?
 
Oh dear, that's the one that I ordered from Virgin. :(

I don't have the 'Ghot's of the Abyss' but I did go to see it at a Museum when it came out (in 3D but I can't remember which one)

At least it was only
 
It might just be because I recorded a lot of stuff from the tv when the film came out (interviews, reviews, trailers, the two documentaries I described), so a lot of the stuff on here is not actually all that new to me (and you'll already be familiar youself with the 'Breaking New Ground' documentary which was on the
 
Erm, a multi-million dollar film with massive special effects, featuring Leonardo Di Caprio, about an incredibly famously historical incident.

If you change the word 'phenomenon' with 'success', I think i've explained it.
 
The other ending is something like this....

The other ending is where Old Rose is going to drop the necklace in the sea, but this time Brock and the crew find her going to do it. They try and tell her to hand the necklace over and she speaks about her life I think. She then lets Brock touch the necklace before throwing it in the sea.
 
Exactly.

The power of that film for me was not about Kate and Leo's fictitious love story, but the real tragedy of the numbers of people who died needlessly on that ship.
 
Thanks for the info Jamfocus - I haven't seen that movie and it's a good idea to include it.

The quality will be better than the original I've no doubt, but oddly I'd rather have the original to watch the movie - this is one film I don't want to stop to switch discs. LOTR worked well that way - 6 2 hour films rather than 3 4 hour ones. But part of the Titanic experience - if you will - is the intensity, which is rather destroyed when you have to kick the dog who is sleeping in front of the DVD player to change the disc half way through yadda yadda.

Still mad at Cameron for kicking out the documentary I've been waiting 8 years to see because it doesn't portray him in a good light (allegedly). All the rumours are probably true - he really is a narcissistic ****.
 
Very well put everyone ths film was about the sinking of the Titanic and what a shocker it was not about Jack and Rose which they did seem to go on about but in my opinion the film wouldnt have lasted an hour without the other storylines so they were a good thing and whoever slates the film obviously does not know a good film when they see one
