When The Theatrical Release Of James Cameron'S Titanic Was Delayed From July To December Of 1997, Media Pundits Speculated That Cameron'S $200-Million Disaster Epic Would Cause The Director'S Downfall, Signal The End Of The Blockbuster Era, And Sink Paramount Pictures As Quickly As The Ill-Fated Luxury Liner Had Sunk On That Fateful Night Of April 14, 1912. Titanic Would Surpass The $1-Billion Mark In Global Box-Office Receipts, Win 11 Academy Awards Including Best Picture And Director, Launch The Best-Selling Movie Soundtrack Of All Time, And Make A Global Superstar Of Leonardo Dicaprio. A Bona Fide Pop-Cultural Phenomenon, The Film Has All The Ingredients Of A Blockbuster (Romance, Passion, Luxury, Grand Scale, A Snidely Villain, And An Epic, Life-Threatening Crisis), But Cameron'S Alchemy Of These Ingredients Proved More Popular Than Anyone Could Have Predicted. His Stroke Of Genius Was To Combine Absolute Authenticity With A Pair Of Fictional Lovers Whose Tragic Fate Would Draw Viewers Into The Heart-Wrenching Reality Of The Titanic Disaster. As Starving Artist Jack Dawson And Soon-To-Be-Married Socialite Rose Dewitt Bukater, Dicaprio And Kate Winslet Won The Hearts Of Viewers Around The World, And Their Brief, But Never Forgotten, Love Affair Provides The Humanity That Cameron Needed To Turn Titanic Into A Moving Emotional Experience. Although Some Of The Computer-Generated Visual Effects Look Artificial, Others--Such As The Climactic Splitting Of The Ship'S Sinking Hull--Are State-Of-The-Art Marvels Of Cinematic Ingenuity. It'S An Event Film And A Monument To Cameron'S Risk-Taking Audacity, Blending The Tragic Irony Of The Titanic Disaster With Just Enough Narrative Invention To Give The Historical Event Its Fullest And Most Timeless Dramatic Impact. --Jeff Shannon Dvd Features Perhaps James Cameron Wasn'T Ready To Dish In 1999 When His Mega-Hit Debuted On Dvd With Nary An Extra (No, We Don'T Count The Trailer).
