Why Titanic Is A Beloved Romantic Drama
Released 26 years ago, Cameron’s romantic drama is still considered one of the most memorable disaster films of all time. While Titanic is based on a real event, Jack and Rose’s relationship is a dramatization that crafts a love story around the tragedy. By doing so, the film is able to portray what really happened to the ship, making it feel more tragic because of its central characters.
The success of the film is also a key part of its history, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time until Cameron released Avatar in 2009. Earning $1.82 billion upon initial release, it was the first movie to pass $1 billion at the box office. It was also the second movie to cross $2 billion total earned following a number of re-releases over the years. Because of the film’s historical success, it has continued to be beloved by those who saw it.
The emotional ending of Titanic is also a classic scene in cinema history, giving a proper ending to the 195-minute epic. Because of all these attributes, it’s no surprise the movie is still celebrated even almost three decades after its theatrical release. These new images are sure to provide those who enjoy the movie with more admiration for the detail that went into creating it.
