+Cole Boerst Most of them more than likely "claim" that is sucks, and secretly like it. But remember, It's evidently "cool" to hate anything that is popular, especially when it becomes a phenomenon.
Eric Cartman I see your intentions but the ironic thing is that those 2 scenes were the most innovative and spoken about as the drawing scene changed the MPAA and the fact that the majority of Titanic was Practical Effects rather than CGI. Plus Best Picture isn't given for the story (screenwriter) or style (director) but the business aspect of how the film got produced (producer). So it actually did deserve it in those terms.
It will definitely not defeat a lot of movies. Even the non-winning movies like The Dark Knight. Titanic was very well-directed and produced, but the storyline isn't it, really. The 2-day process of falling in love is really unrealistic (yea, it's a movie, but still no depth to that) and the fact that they simply made it like it was Jack and Rose's fault why the ship sank is not it.
Yes, I almost cry. I didn't watch this nominees because that time I was a child and I didn't care so much about Oscars. However, seeing this video and how Mr. James Cameron asks a little of silence for those people who died on the Titanic was so touching and how people really kept silence and respect for all those victims of that fatal night.
Yeah, after masturbating to the 2 hour reenactment of their gruesome deaths as detailed action event, he's suddenly sooo sad for them. Hypocrisy at its best.
The fact that he took time to silence everyone to remember the 1,500 people who died on Titanic. He is truly the most sweetest person ever to put thought into doing something like that just for a movie. What a champ
i hated titanic when i was a kid because it was popular. then i saw it like 15 years later once again and i have to admit it's one of the best ever made
titanic totally deserve the award, no one would remember other nominees after 20 years, but titanic certainly gain a memory of a generation!! and everyone remember jack and rose as iconic couple on the sea~
@@TB-kl5vn tbh as someone not from the states I can say the way titanic impacted the global audience back at that time no other film ever did that. Titanic was my first Hollywood movie and it holds a special place in my heart
Just goes to show how well made it actually was. The budget had the studios panicking but it turned everything on it's head and was a record-breaking success.
I would have to agree, because I remember Renting This when it was Released on VHS, and over the next few hours I sat on the couch in the living room in spellbound silence, It was amazing, beautiful, wonderful, and romantic too, It's such a shame that two of the stars that were on this movie is no longer here, R.I.P Bill Paxton. R.I.P Bernard Fox.
@@kellymiller1891there's another couple that are also gone. Gloria Stuart as Old Rose died in 2010 at age 100. David Warner as Spicer Lovejoy who died in 2022.
There hasn’t been a movie in 20 years that has made a universal impact as did Titanic did. I remember seeing it on opening night with my parents. I was fifteen then and the theater wasn’t a full house . When it was over, it felt like something supernatural occurred to all of us, and the whole world was yet to find out. Not a word was spoken between my parents or myself in the car ride home. We were in complete loss for words because nothing before this film gripped an audience like it did. It was spellbinding.
@@abisspassenger Omg, I was 7 and my parents and I watched it in theaters 3 times lol. He would always cover my eyes during the love scene 😂 years later I’d find out how tame it was lmao. But I distinctly remember watching something incredibly amazing, though the enormity of what I first watched didn’t hit me till I was old enough to understand it all! It truly is an incredible film.
Even though it is customary today for the cast to come up when a film wins Best Picture at the Oscars; this custom did not start until The Lord of the Ring: The Return of the King won Best Picture. The casts of Million Dollar Baby, Crash, The Departed, No Country For Old Men, do not go up with the producers when the Best Picture Oscar is accepted. This tradition is picked up again in 2009 with the win of Slumdog Millionaire.
I love the way James Cameron ended his speech by having everyone take a few seconds of silence to remember the people that died on the Titanic. That was a very moving moment.
I am from Belfast, I was born the day it was discovered by Ballard and my grandparents live in the house Thomas Andrews lived in- so I guess im biased :)
How can people say that Titanic didn't deserve the Oscar this movie has to be one of the best directed films of all time just everything about this movie is incredible the cast the soundtrack everything is just so beautifully done and it deserves all the hype it gets
@@djmotise So? What Titanic was able to achieve, contrary to L.A. Confidential, was to capture the hearts & minds of millions of people across the world. Isn't that what Hollywood is supposed to do? Inspiring millions of young children and adults to follow their hearts. To create magic and James Cameron absolutely nailed that.
@@PDC1987 Didn't you read my part about being inspiring? Trying to achieve the greater good etc? You use a bad example. Also, because even after a year, Titanic was still running in cinema's as the movie was that good and able to capture the hearts and souls of many.
+Boy In The Box The story of that movie is a mere romance. I don't think it's a very good movie because of that, although it has some high qualities such as photography and special effects.
Well the budget came from the studios, to finance the project. James actually had to forego a salary during the filming, just to ensure it would get completed. He got well paid for his efforts in the end, tho, don't worry.
The Academy got it right, some hundreds of thousands of critics got it wrong. Most of them give it too low of a rating, for example imbd, 7.7/10, a score lower than _a whole lot_ of movies. Plot holes are the number one reason I've witnessed people rating movies low for, but you can find plot holes in any story and reason out of them by lowering art form into a sequel of explanations that end up with no bigger reward. Filling in all the answers isn't what any reasonable artist does, nor is it telling a completely believable story. The realm of Hollywood is pure storytelling where the point is to believe and get sucked into a different world. If it's all real we would have no curiosity for something new to happen, to be wondered about and celebrated. We would never inspire a bigger vision for humanity through the arts. The point of such an artist is to bring us into a deeper medium of impactful experience, whether it's appeasing on a mental level, like Memento or The Matrix, or on an emotional level like Titanic, it shows us something new and never before seen. No one has ever seen a movie like Titanic.
Alot of critics loved this movie, you would not believe how many critics, have listed this in the ten best films of the year, and some critics even chose as the best film of the year, and USA TODAY, chose it as one of the best movies of the 90's along with Schindler's List and American Beauty
I love the fact that he made a moment of silence during his speech for titanic, it's a subtle way to say that despite the recognition for his creativity, the inspiration for that is real and should have given a moment of respect too🙌🏽
@Philosophy Wit Totally agree! It perfectly shows what a humble guy and a genius he is. Not just pulling the biggest movie stunt of the 90's, in reference to Titanic's enormous budget of $200 Million, but also being the first director to get past the $1 Billion at the Box Office and almost even reaching $2 Billion at the time in 1998. Today it has surpassed that figure. Nevertheless, the movie is still legendary for its time and continues to be so to this day.
@@dvchel I wouldn't say James is a humble guy, he's got a huge ego. He literally put his name in the title for Avatar and he was pissed when his ex-wife beat him out(and rightfully so I might add) for best director at the academy awards.
When "Titanic" ruled the theaters for months back in 1997 it was such a magic time for America....the whole country was enthralled with this movie and went to see it over and over...WELL DESERVED Oscar!!
After 15 years if this movie is still one of the contenders for Best Picture, it can still win easily. It is the epitome of greatness in the movie industry.
Titanic has gone down in history as one of the most beautiful and tear jerking movies of all time. Truly a masterpiece and definitely an iconic movie even over 20 years later
That was a beautiful gesture to give tribute to the people who lost their lives. Even after winning the Oscar to empathise with those people was incredible..Mr James Cameron 🙌
I just rewatched the film for the who knows how many times and it hits me hard every single time. What was portrayed through those camera lenses is the one of the most amazing feats ever accomplished in the film industry. One of if not the greatest movies of all time.
It really brought home the tragedy of the event to a new generation, some of whom are now shipbuilders, marine architects, or oceanographers thanks to the film (Much like how Jurassic Park caused an upswing in paleontology)
5:24 'A Night To Remember' is the name of the movie that inspired a lot of scenes, characters, and dialogues on 'Titanic'. James subtly credited the filmmakers of the movie that was released 39 years earlier. ❤️
I loved Titanic. It felt like a throwback to Hollywood's old time blockbusters. It was lovely. I could see someone like elizabeth Taylor playing Rose in a 50s version
This film was still selling out 7-8 months after its release. It was in theatres for over a year, and not relegated to the cinemas crappy small theatres, six months into its run it was still playing in the big theatres with the best sound. It was an absolute phenomenon. This was one of those films that will stay in the zeitgeist forever. I had never seen a film perform as well as it did nor since it.
That was a really nice thing for Jim to do to remind everyone about the true tragedy of titanic and its message and in respect to the lives lost have a moments silence with everyone.
***** Yes you are right, and it is disturbing as the movie recreated a moment in time and that real people went through the horror of that huge ship sinking. It would have been very disappointing if he accepted the oscar and thanked production and that was it. The Titanic is people's grave so i'm glad he took it seriously and showed respect.
***** No, I don't agree with that. The movie was EXTREMELY well made so that the horror elements were shown as well. Of course Rose and Jack are who we follow, but there are entire scenes that focus on the rest of the passengers, and the panic.
***** I've seen plenty of interviews, and the actors understand the true story. And just because it's not the topic of conversation in the interview, does not mean that they are dissing it.
greenkitty82 Titanic is now sadly a gravesite. Items such as shoes and other possessions were found on the ocean floor. Robert Ballard (who found Titanic in 1985) despises how people go down to visit the ship, having called it disrespectful. There have been many items retrieved from Titanic and sold at auctions. I myself find it horrifyingly disrespectful to the people who died aboard the ship. Hell has a special place for gravediggers.
No one has been able to surpass the movie Titanic, even the latest films of James Cameron. Truly Titanic is the Best Film so far. The story, the cast, the cinematography, the music, the movie sets when you combined them, it's an ART.
I love the part of the Oscars where they play a song from the movie as the folks are getting up to accept their award. It is such a nice touch and gives me goosebumps.
I love other nominees (especially L.A. Confidential, and Good Will Hunting) but Titanic is EPIC! The love story of 'Rose' & 'Jack' can stand the test of time. Please don't hate Titanic as it has proved one of the most successful movies of all time is NOT a superhero movie or a sequel or a remake or a reboot or a spin-off. #Titanic will be remembered and treasured by every generation. Hands down. And thank you, Mr. Cameron; also to 'Kate' & 'Leo'.
My favorite movie of all time. Makes me so proud it swept the Academy Awards away and tied with most Oscars any movie has ever won. A spectacular film that went down in history.
Titanic,Titanic,Titanic only Hollywood movie which I loved the most❤️....Still Loving....Forever TITANIC 😘😍. ROSE😘&JACK😍 R EMOTION.....Big fan from INDIA🇮🇳
Hes been in 2 best pictures and so many more nominated for best picture. Why??!?!?! Please!!!! Just do it already! Atleast the Golden Globes have their shit together XD
Titanic totally deserved its praise fair and square. Even by nowadays' standards, the movie still makes me melt, weep, laugh and awe. Rose and Jack's romance is a timeless masterpiece.
People may say that L.A. or Good Will should've won but Titanic has this magic that will truly touch the hearts of the viewers and as for someone who loves going to the movies, that is enough for the production to deserve the Best Picture
Then become more Enthusiastic and watch movies...which aren't stupid ...Titanic had too many fictional characters...apart from few like Molly brown and JJ Astor IV but cmon you Let this super cheesy Movie win over a much greater Master peice like the LA Confidential...it's truly said all time can filter mediocrity!
i dont really like L.A but love good will hunting, but titanic is masterpiece of movie making and was a game changing, brilliant choice by AMPAS to not miss this beautiful whole package entertainment while others are only good with writing.
Amazing to see that no so long ago the Oscars were a celebration of art and not a stage for political speeches like it is nowadays. Nobody gives acceptance speeches so touching and respectful like this anymore. James Cameron must be one of the last remaining heroes in film history. All my respects to him. Bravo Maestro!
Throwing political/social issues into speeches is why I no longer watch ANY awards show anymore..I used to enjoy watching the Grammys, Emmys, and Oscars...now I don't care...
*TITANIC* will always be the greatest film ever! Before it was made, there was nothing like it in history! Every aspect of the film was perfect and unforgettable in every way. It’s not just a movie - it’s a piece of art and history! 🏆♥️
I bet if Titanic was first premiered today.. Kate Winslet and Leonardo Diccaprio would've gotten an award for Best Actor & Best Actress. Not that I think the standard has gotten any lower (maybe it did, idk), but their performance was amazing but ppl fail to recognize that, especially considering their age at the time. I mean look at Jennifer Lawrence! No hate of Jennifer, I think she's a good acress too but i think overrated.
I so agree with you, in everything. It is ridiculous how the Oscar lost the value it had. Back there, the minimum required to be nominated was to have an "almost perfect act". But today, having a 'good' act is enough to WIN the award.
HillOfSorrow I'm glad im not the only person who noticed this! Yes that's so true. I mean there are still some deserved wins but others aren't even that good you know.. they're just doing their job as an actor but not doing a really exceptional job and they get the credit. Idk. I cry inside for Leonardo. I mean he has literally proven to everyone again and again and again that he DESERVES the title but he just never gets it. Its probably a slap in his face when he sees a new comer in the industry, gets a big shot in a really good film, gets the attention and the fuzz and then they win. It's just unfair for him. The poor guy.
It is 2020 and the movie is still iconic and timeless. Titanic has been one of the greatest films ever made. So much hard work and money was put into this film.
I don't care about damn haters, I just wanna say this romantic saga will beat the flow of time and will remain immortal forever. Every time I watch it I cannot shed my tear.
+TheHehe1223 Not sure, but it kinda looked intentional, LOL.. after all, James Cameron had already won 2 awards that night, before the one at 1:10 (Best Picture). I may be wrong, but it looked to me like he did it to be funny....and it worked. :-)
My mom always told me to watch a good movie like titanic not dumb things in internet, and then when she passed away, I watched titanic as her tribute and can't imagine how great was that movie and I just cried a lot thinking about my mum once in a lifetime experience thanks James Cameron and rip.
Saw John and the two James at the premiere of Titanic Live in London in April 2015. Huge shock just 8 weeks later. Rest in peace Mr Horner, that film wouldn't have been half what it was without your music.
***** That doesn't mean anything, Crash, Chicago, The Hurt Locker, The English Patient, Shakespeare in Love also win Best Picture and they didn't deserve it or there was at least one film that was so much better
RZ K Titanic won best picture, best director, best cinematography, best art direction, best costume design, best sound, best film editing, Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing, Best Effects, Visual Effects, Best Music Original Song, Best Music Original Dramatic Score. and it became the highest grossing film of all time, and first film to reach 1 billion dollars. those films you listed are supposed to be good, thats why they got that but titanic is supposed to be shit ?
I miss those days where Directors, Actors, Producers or whatever would *not* be so damn political and say something that actually means something to them and our lives.
The film was made for the crowd of the late 90's. and of course there are tons of mistakes BUT James was not here to make a historical Titanic film; HE JUST WANTED TO MAKE THE BIGGEST FILM OF OUR TIME AND MAKE MONEY. The man is a genius for that!
forest parker I'm not talking about the special effects. Yes they are amazing! Listen, people make lists about the things that are wrong with Titanic like: the language; people did not talk like that in 1912. I'm simply saying that the film is not meant to be historical and it's true purpose was to make money. James is smart for making the film the way it is. People think that they were "mistakes" but he knew exactly what he was doing.
it was a tribute to those 1500 people.....and it was beautifully made movie... ya wat u say is true.....in someway it does connect to the event in 1912....cant be exact biopic....
+Joel Figueroa besides Leo's performance the rest of the acting from the cast was so so too me nothing to scream home about. I truly do believe the special effects are what really made this movie. It amazes me how whenever I watch it those special effects from well over 18 years ago still hold up extremely well to this day
thats so honouring of james cameron to honour those who died instead of just taking an award on behalf of those who lost there lives. well done james cameron.. it truly was and still in and epic movie
the moment of silence was very very touching and he's right the future is unknown for a few years later we lost more people in the bombing of the two towers in NYC. but like the souls of the Titanic, their story goes on as well
I was 19 when this came out and I begged my boyfriend to take me to see it. He didnt want to of course lol. But even he cried in the end. Completely packed theater. Everyone was sobbing. I'll never forget it.
The Smile in the face of James Horner and James Cameron are the golden moments . When I think James Horner is mot present in this world . Thay hurts me the most😢
No merit my ass. Titanic is such a wonderful film it's a miracle it got made. We have groundbreaking special effects that are still groundbreaking to this day, it's flawlessly crafted, sharply written, has fantastic acting from its stellar cast, the characters are well developed, its music is mesmerizing and finally, the film has emotional power strong enough to bring the burliest of men to tears. Its a very sweet love story and an excellent depiction of the sinking. A perfect 10/10.
Today Sir Sean Connery died... 31 October 2020... He is still the best James Bond ever and his iconic manly voice remains the treasure in the world of entertainment...... My condolence to his family....
4:29 What a wonderful human being is James Cameron. That whole speech and taking that solemn moment of silence out of respect for the dead and the living for the poor souls that went on the Titanic. So inspiring yet so humble. Sure he might have been a pain in the ass during the filming of the Titanic, as Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have come to admit. Yet, a brilliant and everlasting movie was made that for generations on end will be loved and admired.
This is the film responsible for shaking me to the core as a 12 year old and sparking my love for film and cinema. I didn’t even want to see it at first because it looked “boring,” but the movie I originally wanted to see was sold out, so my family got tickets for this instead….best fluke ever.
