Titanic is really a great achievement in film. It's no surprise that James Cameron won the Oscar for best director for his masterful work. It also won for art direction, cinematography and best original song.
It is a great movie. Made all the more interesting because it was based an actual event. All the movies I have seen by him have been excellent. What other movies have you seen by him do you like?
Almost all of them, I believe. I've seen The Abyss, which was very good. I think Terminator 2: Judgment Day is one of the best sequels ever, as well as a great film. Switching the villain to a hero and introducing a new villain was a master stroke.
I have not seen the Abyss but I have seen all the terminators and terminator 1 and 2 are both master pieces in my opinion. Loved all the action and the special effects in terminator 2 was so cool! I have seen all the terminator films and the titanic movies many times, because I love them so much. What's the Abyss about?
A spaceship is discovered at the bottom of the ocean, hidden under 300 years worth of coral reef. The movie has special effects which are an early version of the liquid metal in T2, with "water-based" alien creatures and underwater sequences that are amazing to see.
Sounds cool, another movie by James Cameron that I love is Avator. The special effects were amazing. Have you seen it? Did you enjoy it?
Yes, the whole world of Pandora was like nothing ever on film. Cameron always blows audiences away with his visual wizardry. And there's still so much yet to see, with four sequels planned that are standalone films that also connect to a larger narrative. They're all widely anticipated!
I also think with the titanic I felt like it mirrors the world today. How rich people usually have advantages over poor people. And big companies take advantage of this by paying low wages so, that they can increase there profit. What is your opinion in regards to this?
Yes, it is definitely touching on something relevant in the way it explores the social disparities between Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack character and Kate Winslet's Rose. The film never shies away from the divide separating them and draws a lot of drama from that conflict. From start to finish, Titanic manages to make social commentary even as it's delivering a great dramatic story.
Yes, it does. I think the social disparities made it interesting. And seeing their love unfold was very romantic. I actually cried at the end once I saw that he didn't survive. I was glad Rose went on to live a full life and didn't go back to the rich finance who I feel was very controlling. She would have been miserable. 
Yes, a lot of people argued that Jack shouldn't have died, and that there was room on that floating piece of wood. There may have been enough room, but would it have been strong enough? Would they have floated with two people on it? Probably not. So it's sad that Jack dies, but it's truthful to the reality of the story.
I think it made it more realistic because most of the people died on original Titanic.
Yes, more than 1500 passengers and crew perished. A true tragedy. There's no way for a filmmaker to sugarcoat that, but a lesser director might have tried!
