Titanic

Fifteen years later, Titanic has been re-released in a 3D conversion, in part to coincide with the centennial of the disaster (which took place the night of April 15, 1912.) Now, as a professional movie critic wary of preconceived opinions, I?m chastened by the memory of my youthful (OK, I was 31) dismissal of Titanic. What was I thinking, an aspiring scholar in a cultural field, not going to see the movie that the whole world was talking about that year? And professional edification aside, why didn't I want to watch two beautiful young people fall in love on a doomed ocean liner? What did I have against spectacle, or melodrama, or for that matter, popular success? In a last-minute substitution for the review of a new movie I was scheduled to write this week, I decided to plonk down the eighteen-dollar admission (!!), don the specs, and see the film as it was originally meant to be seen, and then some.
