Titanic is a fictional romantic tale of a rich girl and poor boy who meet on the ill fated voyage of the 'unsinkable' ship.
Short Synopsis:
A 100 year old woman named Rose Bukator tells the story to her granddaughter on the Keldysh about her life set on a ship called Titanic when young Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) boards the departing ship with the upper class passengers, her mother, and her fiance. On the other hand a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his few friends win third class ticket to t he ship in a game. She explains the whole story from departure until the death of Titanic on its first and last voyage.
Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox. Titanic was an enormous critical and commercial success. Titanic was an amazing blend of spectacular visuals and old-fashioned melodrama. It is flawlessly crafted, systamatically constructed and fabulous acting. Cameron shows two stories side by side. The way they are presented is just amazing. On one hand we see the high class girl meeting a low class boy. On the second hand we see the catastrophy of the ship. Both the stories are handled in a very good manner without any confusion.
Cameron new movie Avatar is also a blockbuster. He started writing Avatar in 1994 and was supposed to start rite after the release of Titanic but could not due to lack of technology as Cameron wanted to make use of synthetic, or computer-generated, actors. Cameron is a great director who wants to and has made amazing movies. He made those movies which are very hard to make. His work is appreciated by all over the world and these two movies were very big on block buster.
Throughout Cameron's career, several of his films have had recurring themes and subtexts. These include: the prospects of nuclear, attempts to reconcile humanity with technology as seen in Aliens and Terminator 2: strong female characters, a strong romance subplot,anti-corporation (Aliens, Avatar), anti-military (The Abyss, Avatar), and an undercurrent of feminism. This was in Kate Winslet's role in Titanic, in which she served as the main protagonist and narrator.
According to Telegraph.co.uk Cameron himself became an expert in the field of deep sea wreckage exploration exploring the wreckage of Titanic and Bismarck.
Technology is very important in Cameron's films that he waited years for the technical tools of the craft to advance sufficiently to realize his vision for Avatar, for which he had special 3-D cameras developed.
