I have no hesitation in saying that this movie deserved all the nominations and awards it has won and the position it earned at the box office charts for many consecutive years. This movie has been crafted so flawlessly that it is able to sweep us away in the realm of fantasy. According to what I’ve seen or observed, there is not one thing in this movie that can be criticized. The actors chosen are the most appropriates choices for each role, the script is so intense, the cinematography is done intelligently that all effects makes it appear so real, the soundtrack is also very good and relates to the incidents happening in the movie. All these things drive one’s attention towards the movie and not one scene can be neglected. After its release, by the time I haven’t watched it, I heard people saying that it’s so over rated and over blown that first I had no intention to watch it. But after watching this movie, I realized that none of those words were really meaningful. It deserved all the success it had earned. While watching this movie, I got so involved into it that I kept on biting my nails throughout the intense scenes and I even started to cry at the end part. I was not aware of what was happening around me, I thought all this was taking place right in front of my eyes, I needed a strong pinch to make me realize that it’s just a movie not reality. So according to me, Titanic is a magnificent tale that
