The film/The music
The lives of two young lovers are intertwined with world history as they struggle to survive the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. Nearly a century later, one of the survivors returns to the ocean grave in order to prevent the looting of lost heirlooms by fortune seekers.
Titanic is first and above all a love story. The passion, the intimacy and the heartbreak one feels in watching a love story on film are largely by actors, but we help out where we can with cinematohraphy, set designer and other crafts. Of course music is the most important adition to the actors' work for increasing the emotional impact of the film.
James Horner's score for "TITANIC" is all I had hoped and prayed it would be and much more. It fetly leaps from intimacy to grandeur, from joy to heart-wrenching sadness and across the full emotional spectrum of the film while maintining a stylistic and thematic unity. The music spans time, making immediate the actions and feelings of people 85 years ago with the full emotional resonance without falling into either of the two dreaded traps: the sweeping conventional period picture score, or the inappropriatly modern and anachronistic "counter program" score.
James has wlaked the tightrope by using a syntheseizer, vocals and full orchestra to create a timeless sound which tell us that these people were not so very different from us. Their hopes, their fears, their passions are like ours. In the film I have tried to accentuate the universalities of human behavior, rather than focus on the quaint differences between this other time and our own. James has done the same thing, bridging the gap of time and making these people seem so alive, so vibrant, so real than the dreaded event, when it finally comes, is terrifying in its authencity.
And most importanly, he has made us one with Rose and Jack, feeling the beat of their hearts as they experience the kind of love we all dream about, but seldom find. James Cameron


Review: A wonderful film for a excellent and fantastic music. He had done a really good work. If you like music and emotions, if you like best Horner music this will be the music of the love. Don't just listen it, feel it. Excellent.
