Titanic 3D

A friend of mine told me last month that Titanic was going to be re-released in the cinema in 3D. I was so shocked; I didn't know anything about this. Titanic is one of my favourite films of all time. I was very young when it first came out so I didn’t get a chance to see it at the cinema but I remember clearly the hype surrounding it. A cousin of mine who is a year older had seen it and was telling me about how amazing it was. Even my aunts and uncles were talking about it and were telling each other that it was a must see! They rarely ever discussed films. I was so excited to see it and when the DVD came out, I made my parents buy a copy and watched it when I came home from school. I loved it! Even from a young age I knew there was something amazing about that film. I was too young to have experienced love and heartbreak but I could still empathise and the story touched me and brought out feelings in me that I had never felt before. I went through a phase where I was watching it every day and eventually I knew the dialogue at the back of my hand.

More than a decade later, the film still has the same effect on me. The final scenes still bring tears to my eyes. Although I am much older now, the film is still special to me. It allows me to dream. I still dream like many young women, of finding my ‘Jack’ and having a passionate and romantic love affair! I think many girls like the idea of being rescued and swept off their feet and to be given a chance of escaping their troubles.The film is the second highest grossing film of all time and was a huge hit with a number of international audiences. This shows that people from all walks of life  related to the story of Jack and Rose and got something from it. Love shows no boundaries and is universal. It has no language.

I remember innocently re-enacting the film with my family trying to recreate the famous scenes and getting the dialogue perfect. I can’t wait to see it! I was too young to see it when it first came out and now is my chance to experience it in the cinema. It's out on April 6^th – I have marked the date on my calendar! Everyone get your tissues at the ready!
