Cult Film “Titanic” Again in The Cinema Back in 3D View

15 years ago, James Cameron with "Titanic" written history of cinema. Now comes the three-dimensional version. Yet powerful – and somehow more personal. By Sophie "Rose" Albers.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in the roles they have made ​​cinema-immortal Jack and Rose in Cameron’s “Titanic”

When James Cameron’s film about “Titanic” took the 1997 triumph of the cinema (in Germany, he started in 1998), he not only wrote film history. The three-hour epic about the ultimate demise is one of many people to the box office of his own life. Actually, everyone who was at that time to the movies, you can tell a “Titanic” story: The guy from Nuremberg, who arrived after the break, because he did not see the love of schmaltz, but the disaster action, and then had to realize in horror that he has missed the naked Kate Winslet. The freshly separated student from Bonn, who after watching a movie with moist eyes and red cheeks tinged “Save me” and had her husband-to-be in the bag.

Or this April Fool’s joke: A cool boy tells a naive girl that due to the overwhelming success now a “Titanic” director’s cut coming to the cinemas, in the first Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jack and Rose will hunt through the sinking ocean liner, and second, love and fall history are shown in 3D. The naive thing was the cool guy then lit up so much that he did not dare to inform the joke. 14 years later, after all, part two is reality.
$ 18 million

Luckily, Cameron has waited so long. The director, who has his “Titanic” record-breaking box office earnings of 1.85 billion dollars a decade later, with 2.78 billion for “Avatar” itself is broken, currently the most successful and influential filmmakers of the major Hollywood film. The veritable nerd who revolutionized with “Avatar” technology, the camera tries, the pictures sharper yet still powerful to make even deeper – sometimes just in passing as he visited the deepest spot on earth. And because he always wants everything even better, 300 employees have 60 weeks “Titanic,” the third dimension given. Frame by frame depth, shadows and proportions calculated. $ 18 million it cost all of that.

3D increases the drama, says the man who is responsible for the money, producer Jon Landau. And the result is because even the most formidable amount of drama, which – let’s say since “Gone with the Wind” – to see the movies were. Everything is bigger and more impressive become: diving in the wreck, which runs through Roses corridors of memory, the vast, oil-shiny, pounding rods in the engine room, the glittering dining hall, the huge rear of the ship, which stands out as the “Titanic “is broken apart and cut into the depth, the water that eats through the ship. And of course Kate Winslet to bare.

The glasses are long forgotten, and you lean back in his seat, it is judged not otherwise be able to take everything offered by the big screen. The 3D effect is not a jump in his face, he is part of the film means to an end, which draws the viewer deeper into the drama. Just as it should be. Cameron said that he hoped thus to achieve a cinema audience that the film has only a DVD, it “must” to see him just in the movies. Exactly.
Coming soon on wobbly seats

Of course there will still be people who take umbrage at that 3D film this would add nothing, except the charge at the box office. The rest can look forward to the next level of “Titanic”-experience: A South Korean company wants to provide the film with its own format 4DX. That made the movies interactively by the viewer – is exposed to the ambient conditions of the film – in a safe, reasonable entertainment form. This means, among other things, that the seat is happening according to the film twists and turns. In addition, “cold air blows” and “water in the face” are promised.
