Book Reviews of James Cameron's Titanic
Book Review: Dissapointing
Summary: 1 Stars
Boring! This book was a huge dissapointment. The storyline sucked too. The movie's way better.Book Review: Every Titanic fan should have it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, what can be said about the movie, the cd or the book that hasn't been said before?! I too love the movie, although I didn't cry the first time I saw it. I was sitting there in the cinema, one nervous wreck. The love story impressed me but the underwater scenes were just too much for me. I thought they were so scary and intense, I never felt so scared before. Now, if a movie can do that to you than you know you are looking at some movie!! The funny thing was that I didn't begin to feel the intense sadness until I got home. The images of the movie stayed in my memory for days. I just felt so emotional. I thought it was just me, but my friends told me that they also had experienced that. After I saw the movie I couldn't even sleep right the first night. Now, I now that some of you out there are thinking that I'm just another teen who only likes the movie because of Leo. Well, you are wrong.(I'm not a teen) I mean I love Leo. I've been a fan of him for years! Ever since I saw him in 'Growing Pains'. And I've loved Kate ever since her fabulous performance in 'Sense and Sensiblity'. Putting those two together in Titanic was a very wise thing to do! But that is not the only reason why I love the movie!! I have to admit that I'm a total Titanic fan. I've got the cd, I've got the book and yes I've even got the posters. It took months before I finally got the book. And I was overjoyed when I finally got it. It's a beatiful book, but being a Kate and Leo fan I wish they had interviewed them just a tiny bit more! The cd is wonderful as well. I bought the cd but it I really didn't play it that much. Every time I put it on I wanted to go to the cinema again and I got that same emotional feeling. Now I play it all the time. Ofcourse I've seen the movie several times and I will see it again soon. I think it's a great movie. I love the first part of he movie because of all the costumes, the grandeur, the actors. (Kathy Bates is great!)I especially like the scene in which Leo teaches Kate how to spit. The part in which the Titanic sink is just immensely impressive. I was very moved by the scene where Kate gets in the lifeboat and looks at Leo. That was so sad. Whenever I see a movie and it gets scary I always tell myself "Relax, it's only a movie, this isn't real". Ofcourse I couldn't do that with this movie! When I saw those mothers with those children saying goodbye to their husbands and fathers I was so moved. I think that that really got me the most. The fact that those men stayed behind, knowing that they were going to die! I just think that Titanic is a great movie. James Cameron did a fabulous job, as did Leo, Kate, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, etc, etc, as did James Horner who composed the music. And the book is something that every Titanic fan should have!!Book Review: Excellent book, the pictures and text were magnificent!
Summary: 5 Stars
For people who loved the movie, this is the perfect book. It shows all the steps to the creation of the classic. From the pictures of the wreck, to the costumes and special effects . I mean, it can't get better than this. Titanic is definately the most interesting ship and James Cameron couldn't do better by creating the movie and the book! The pictures not only are descriptive and interesting for people who really want to know more about the ship, but also for people who just don't seem to get enough of the movie. It is just a chance for people to get to see how the movie was made, the characters, and more pictures on the real Titanic.Book Review: Excellent, Just as Good as the Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the movie "Titanic" four times, and I couldn't wait to buy this book when it came out. It is very informative about the Titanic itself and the movie. It tells you a lot about how the movie was made and all about the special effects used. If you liked the movie, you should really read the book.Book Review: Fantasic Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
James Camerons Titanic would have to be the best film that I have ever seen. This book is a very good guide to the film and the production that went into it. I have the English edition which has no problems with the printing (eg Japanesse version) Worth getting for anyone interested in the movie or the Titanic itself. Beautiful companion piece to Titanic and illustrated history. Onto the movie itself. Best film I've ever seen I've seen this movie 6 times and plan to see it again before it finishes its run. Kate Winslet is the best and deserves to win the oscar for Best Actress. She was amazing. Leonardo Di Caprio was engaging as Jack and their romance was sooo intense. The last scene from the film was fantastic everytime I see the film I notice something different. Very touching scene. Great book and film I recommend it to everyone. Let's hope we see a "directors cut" sometime in the very near future.
