ResponderEliminarTitanic is a great movie, but it is not perfect. The story is good enough to make people feel emotional, but sometimes it is too dramatic. The movie is long enough to tell the love story and the tragedy, but some scenes are too slow. The special effects are realistic enough to show the disaster, and the music is beautiful enough to make the audiences cry. However, some characters are too simple, and the ending is too sad for some viewers. Even with these problems, Titanic is still good enough to be one of the most famous movies in history.
