Why Titanic is a Great Movie… it’s obvious...

You can talk about the love affair between Leo and Kate, the special effects, human interest, box office, or many other positive things…. But Titanic has something like no other movie…

Man hitting propeller

Before Titanic we lived in a world where men would give up their lives in movies and would fall directly to the earth. Now, and rightly so the possibility exists that they may hurl themselves onto giant propellers.

The Actor who played “man hitting propeller” seemed to be overlooked by the Academy that year at the Oscars. Sure, he might not be Tom Hanks, but does Tom have the acting range of “man hitting propeller”…? I think not! At best Mr. Hanks could be man who lands on propeller!

To me Titanic will always be a two part movie… the part that leads up to the man beside Kate Winslet, releasing himself from the railing screaming, and the second part.... starting with the metallic twang and a lifeless body tumbling to the ocean.

Yes, “man hitting propeller” is what makes Titanic a great movie
