TITANIC

"THE SHIP OF DREAMS"


JUNE 15, 2008

This chapter of the story of Titanic it's about the biggest and most famous ship, called "The King of the World". This ship was 269 meter long (882 feet), leaded by Capitan Smith, traveling to the promising city of New York.

It was a ship not safety the all because had only boats for 1,178 people when were more then 2,200 a board of the ship. Something more interesting about it, Titanic movie was more expensive than any other one on the 1990's and not all news papers and magazines liked the movie. One of them called "dead in the water".

The movie has a famous director, James Cameron, who also made the movie "The Terminator" on 1997. This director won 11 oscars in Los Angeles in March 1998, just for The Titanic.

I have fabulous memory from this movie, it was the most exiting and romantic movie on my main. Don't mater how many times I saw the movie, it makes me cry all the time.
