Why can Titanic become a classic among the classics?

Titanic is definitely a miracle in the history of movies. Film release time 1997, directed by James Cameron. James Cameron is basically a box office harvester. Titanic was preceded by Terminator, Terminator 2, Opposite Sex 2 and True Lies, all of which were commercial giants and were famous for their special effects beyond the times.

Usually, everyone regards Titanic as a love movie, but in fact, we must first realize that it is a super-large production movie. How big is it? At that time, Paramount continued to increase investment and worried about the final cost recovery. Before the film was released, it sold the DVD distribution rights to Sony Pictures for $8 million. After that, the movie was a big hit, and Paramount's intestines were regretful. It can also be seen that the investment is huge, which makes the film giants unbearable.

In order to make the Titanic, we first built a model almost as big as the original ship. At that time, CG technology was not as convenient as it is now, and many scenes had to be shot in the set, which cost a lot of money.

In addition, Cameron's electronic music must have a technical breakthrough, and the shooting process is carried out in the process of constantly applying for patents. As we all know, this film is based on real events. The silence of Titanic is true, and it still sinks at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. So Cameron's team developed underwater photography technology, went deep into the seabed, actually photographed the Titanic, and used underwater robots to go deep into the hull for investigation, which obtained a lot of first-hand information for subsequent film production.

It can be said that this film has done a lot of scientific research work before shooting, and its workload is no less than shooting, which is also an important reason why this film has become a classic.

As expected, "Titanic" set off a global craze, and the film was shown around the world, which was very enthusiastic and hard to get a ticket. The global cumulative box office broke the record, becoming the highest-grossing film in the world and being recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. This record was kept for 12 years, until it was broken by another film "Avatar" directed by James Cameron. However, if the inflation rate of 12 is included, the box office of Titanic may still be out of reach.

In addition, the storyline, the characterization of classic characters, the accurate and meticulous scene reproduction and the wonderful soundtrack of the film all make this masterpiece radiant and insurmountable.
