Review of a film: TITANIC

I'd like to recommend a film which I saw last Sunday, called “Titanic”. The director of the film is James Cameron. He is a Canadian film director.

The film is a romantic tragedy and the setting is a fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. The main characters are two members of the ship: Leonardo Dicaprio as Jack and Kate Winslet as Rose. They are members of different social classes who fall in love during the trip.

The things I like the most about the film were one of the characters and the relationship between Jack and Rose. Some of the scenes are memorable because they are beautiful or very sad. The plot isn't very simple because there are many stories in the ship about people who were in the Titanic.

All in all, I love the film, and though it hasn't got a happy ending. It's a really good film to watch.





F1: Nico Rosberg breaks 2015 win drought to lead Mercedes one-two

Nico Rosberg pulls clear of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton in the opening laps.
(CNN)Nico Rosberg gained a foothold in the Formula One title race by securing his first victory of the season Sunday in the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.
Rosberg has been a frustrated bystander while Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton claimed three of the opening four races of the 2015 campaign, but was never headed after starting from pole at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Hamilton finished second, prevailing in his own private battle with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, a poor start and botched first pit stop ending any hope of challenging Rosberg.
Vettel is a further 11 points adrift after finishing a distant third, over 45 seconds behind the winner.
Fernando Alonso's return to his home track, scene of his worrying crash in pre-season testing, ended in what he described as "scary" fashion when the brakes gave out on his McLaren-Honda.
"I had no brakes for the whole in-lap, and for the pit stop it was even less," admitted the Spaniard.
Vettel's teammate Kimi Raikonnen finished fifth, sandwiched between the Williams pair of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa in fourth and sixth.
Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull), Romain Grosjean for Lotus, Carlos Sainz Jr. (Toro Rosso) and Daniil Kvyat (Red Bull) rounded out the points scoring positions.
It was Rosberg's ninth career F1 win and a big relief after Hamilton's dominant end to the 2014 season to claim the title and his strong start this year.
"It was a perfect weekend," said Rosberg. "Perfect to be on pole and then to win the race like this. And, finally, I got a perfect start. It's been a long time coming."
With Vettel so far off the pace, despite edging ahead of Hamilton at the start, Mercedes look set to be on top for some time and it was their 14th one-two by its current driver pairing.
It equaled the run record of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost at McLaren in their famous rivalry in 1980s. It was also the German constructors' 24th consecutive podium finish.
