So much better than the Cameron version without the special effects


There didn't have to be a villain. There didn't have to be a rags to riches story. The movie was about people. Well photographed, well acted, well done.

Technically, Cameron's movie is a riches to rags story as Rose abandons a life of wealth to start a fresh — but poor — new life after the sinking.

I like Cameron's better, but the one thing this version definitely does better is the dialogue. It's much more sophisticated.
