Outstanding Movie! The director James Cameron, along with the ensemble of
cast, featuring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio did a fantastic job in
bringing the Titanic experience to the big screen, which is why I am paying
this little tribute in their honor. The cost in producing the Titanic was
over 200 Million dollars, therefore it became a joint venture between
Paramount Pictures and Twenieth Century Fox, and it paid dividends, as it
stayed on top of the charts in 1998 for a record 15 weeks, and surpassed
Star Wars as the highest grossing film in the history of Movies. Titanic
has created a trend, a subculture all it's own, due to the success of both
the Movie and the Soundtrack. The Titanic even overwhelmed the star galla,
Oscars in 1998, it received a record tying 14 Oscar Nominations, and took
home a record tying 11 Oscars. The Titanic Soundtrack has been disappearing
off retailers shelves and it has eclipsed some of the most successful Movie
Soundtracks, like Whitney Houston's "Bodyguard" and Elton John's "Lion King."
It hard to say at this point whether there will be another such phenomenon
in the Movie Industry, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)
