New York Times:"TITANIC," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Kathy Bates. Directed by James
Cameron (PG-13, 197 minutes). For once, a much-touted event movie is exactly that: a glorious
throwback to the days when epic storytelling really filled the screen. Despite the astonishing
technological advances behind Cameron's great visual spectacle, gimmicks are never allowed to intrude
on the film's central illusion: that the audience is drawn back into the Gilded Age and intimately
involved in the fateful voyage. For all its painstaking historical detail, this "Titanic" proves anything but
quaint, thanks to the phenomenal immediacy of its sights and the pure Hollywood hokum of its story.
As two young lovers whose romance is skillfully interwoven with real historical detail, Ms. Winslet
and DiCaprio are a duo with serious chemistry. With his "Gone With the Wind"-caliber ambitions,
Cameron dared to dream of the impossible and came up with the movie of the year (Janet Maslin).
