Titanic will go down on history as one of the greatest cinematic achievments ever put on film.

Cameron is an incredibly articulate filmmaker.

Interviews with filmmakers are a million times more interesting than interviews with actors. Actors are fine but this is the real insight. They are unmatched in talent.

I could listen to James Cameron all day. A man of his expertise and so articulate and thoughtful.

[CosmosZeroX]

good interview but the 2nd most important person of the movie besides Cameron is not mentioned. James Horner. Imagine Titanic without this epic music. James Horner was crucial for that movie like nothing else. His music is a masterpiece of its own. Much more important than any actor. It creates the emotions and fits perfectly to the movie. James Horner stays in the shadow but he is an immense part of the movie and he is not acknowledged enough...

This is why Titanic is one of the best films ever made. Just listen to Cameron. His films are not accidentally great.

I love that James included the engine room and people working in the boiler room and many other details of this beautiful ship. If that was only about Jack and Rose, he might as well have had the captain say "we go full ahead, 21 knots" but we actually get to see the whole magic happen. Titanic is the main character of this movie, there is no doubt.

Titanic is one of the only movies that has these seemingly contrasting elements like romance and disaster but neither one gets the short end of the stick. You’re swept off your feet in the first half and then completely crushed in the second half

Thank you James Cameron for enriching our lives! :)

"Titanic" truly was James Camerons vision and film. He not only did the normal duties of a director to an amazing level, which is difficult in itself, but unlike most directors, even the GREAT ones, this guy WROTE THAT SCRIPT, which is incredible. I also cant stress enough that this isnt "The Terminator", or any film where if you mess things up, it doesnt really matter. This was Titanic, one of the biggest stories of the 20th century, and one, atleast in my opinion, that meant so much to people that you really couldnt afford to F it up. He didnt. Infact he BROUGHT you there that night.

"Titanic" is a cinematic classic, and if its on TV, I never turn the channel.

[Kinkoyaburi]

You can see why his movies are so good, he just has a genuine passion for his work.

[samansiddiquie]

Cameron is so eloquent and articulate about his creation.

[antoniafaheerty]

Thank you James Cameron, Kate Winslet, Leonardo Di caprio, Billy Zane etc you made a masterpiece that will stay with humanity forever.

[baanse]

Cameron is incredible in every way. Not just a great director with sensational visions but also very articulate.

[MissEstevez]

I found it so sweet that James Cameron said “isn’t she beautiful?” referring to Kate Winslet. She was Rose and perfectly cast. James is a genius at what he does. What a masterpiece Titanic was! My favorite movie. I wish I could see it again for the first time just to experience that magic and awe again. It truly transports you to another time & place 💙

[eazy]

Pure genius, this is the best movie of all time regarding the technical reconstruction issue and the grade of detail it was given...

[jessejameslatimer]

My grandmothers (she only lived to be 51) favourite film. She died when I was 7, but this was her favourite film. Whenever I see this movie I think of her.

I had the most amazing experience being on this movie set. I went down to just be a 3rd class passenger among many, and I was cast as a "stoker" in the boiler room also. I am grateful for this experience. The nights with everyone in period costume and the tilting ship was priceless.
