The film of records fruit of the genius of James Camoron
As anticipated, Titanic was a film that had a resounding success from critics and audiences. It boasts the beauty of 11 Academy Awards including those for Best Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, Best Sound, Best Sound Editing and Best Special Effects . The film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, became the world’s number 1 blockbuster of all time in 1997 and is currently still on the podium with a more than valid third place.
The curiosities that made Titanic a unique film of its kind
Among the curiosities that have brought Titanic to what it is, that is a film that has literally made the history of contemporary cinema, there is the issue of the budget originally conceived for the production of the film. It was, in its infancy, 200 million dollars. However, it did not take long for this figure to increase exponentially, becoming a good 300 million dollars, due to the costs of filming and animation which led James Cameron, for example, to build a reproduction of the bridge of the 40 long ship meters, then made to sink in a giant tub. Everything was meticulously reproduced, such as the hand-painted waves that aimed for maximum realism. Rumors say that many of the cast members even suffered from seasickness during filming, as the waves generated by the engines to create the rough sea effect were extremely powerful and realistic.
The cast and production of Titanic
In the cast of Titanic, in addition to Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, we find Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, Gloria Stuart, David Warner, Victor Garber and Bill Paxton. The film was written and directed by James Cameron and produced by Cameron himself and Jon Landau. Finally, Rae Sanchini is the executive producer.
Filming for the film was done both in the United States and Canada. Specifically, the scenes set inside the ship were filmed in an old factory in Playa Vista, California, while those set outdoors were filmed in Halifax, Canada.
