I agree with most if not all of the points she made. WonĀ“t deny the title song hits me in the feels.
But the first minutes in you could already tell āokay thatĀ“s the asshole husband, the snobish rich family, the poor but decent and creative guy, the smothered girl who just wants to break freeā¦ā
The whole sinking of the ship was so drawn out, over dramatic while itĀ“s obvious how itĀ“s all gonna turn outā¦
maybe itĀ“s just me, but I felt often like they tried to press an okay plot into a package of beautiful music, scenery and actors.
I like the twinflame theme and I think of it as good portrayed, especially where he affirms that she is the only one who can set herself free. I was in a similar situation with a girl before and I thought of this scene as very authentically acted. But overall the movie looks to me so āflatā and the main plotline so obvious from early onā¦
I like the scene where Kate Winslet observes another little girl in the first class restaurant whoās being taught table manners, how to sit straight, etc
Me as an observer could feel in every inch of my body how much Kate sees herself in this girl and how much she wants to cut ties with that life of pompous charades
PS:
For people who have not watched the movie before, the 2012 trailer is much better than the new one from 2023 and give a better overview what the movies is all about:
I watched Titanic at the cinema in 1998 when it came out.
I watched Titanic at the cinema in 2012 when it was released in 3d.
I watched Titanic at the cinema in 2023 when it was enhanced to 4k and HDR.
Letās call it a life fullfilled.
Incarnation successful.
Mission accomplished.
From here on everything else is just a bonus.
