These 4.5 minutes we have here are the music video for the song "My Heart Will Go On" by Céline Dion and of course this Oscar-winning number is closely linked to the James Cameron movie Titanic. Even 22 years after its release, everybody still knows that, inclusing millions of people who weren't even born back then. And also for Dion, it is her career-defining number without a doubt, not her best by any means though in my opinion. She has an amazing voice and there are other far superior songs to this one by her I think. But I will not talk about other songs now. You also see by the music video that it is all about Titanic here, the story of the poor young man and the wealthy lady who fall in love with each other with Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet about 10 years before Kate won the Oscar and almost 20 before Di Caprio did. Now I must say I am not a big fan of Titanic, never was and I don't think the film has aged particularly well honestly, but this song here may very well be the bestg thing about it if we don't count Winslet's looks. There is something epic to it that many people see in the movie too, but I don't. And the way they put it together with Dion on the ship as well singing there while watching the sea, yeah well I don't know what it is about this one, but somehow it works. And the catchiness is undeniable anyway just like Dion's mesmerizing and very clean voice. My suggestion here is to listen to this one, but once or twice is enough I guess. You probably have done so anyway. Thumbs up for "My Heart Will Go On". By the way the director is Bille Woodruff, so nobody say African American filmmakers aren't getting any jobs, they already did in the 1990s and this was pretty early in his career, but he never really managed the transition to becoming a defining feature film director.

Like it or not - its classic status is hard to argue against

the spice
Kirpianuscus3 February 2020
It is the soul of "Titanic" by James Cameron. And, unfair, off course, the hit defining , for large audience, the art, the splendid art , of Celine Dion. The spice of a almost classic romantic film , in which a catastopher becomes pretext for a sort of unhappy love . The song , more than the film, remains one of great memory for my youth. Because it is more than a song but the reflection of the rhytm of a time. So, just seductive. The sice giving the right taste to a blockbuster against the passing decades.
