My favourite video film is “Titanic”. It tells the story of a famous ship, the “Titanic”, which sank in 1912. The “Titanic” was a colossal ship even by modern standards. Its tragic sinking will always be remembered, for the ship went down on the first voyage with heavy losses.

The director of the film is James Cameron. The main parts in the film are played by young actors Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet. To my mind their acting is superb. The camerawork is fantastic, too. I’ve heard that they made a full-size model of the “Titanic” for this film.

It’s a very spectacular film. It is also a moving love-story. I advise all my friends to see “Titanic”. The film was awarded 11 Oscars and I’m sure it deserves every one of them.Перевод

Мой самый любимый фильм - "Титаник". Он рассказывает историю известного судна "Титаник", которое затонуло в 1912 году. "Титаник" был колоссальным кораблем даже по современным стандартам. Его трагическое крушение всегда будет помниться, поскольку  корабль утонул во время своего первого рейса с большими потерями.

Режиссер фильма - Джеймс Кэмерон. Главные роли в фильме играют молодые актеры Леонардо ди Каприо и Кейт Уинслет. На мой взгляд, их актерская игра превосходна. Операторская работа является фантастической, тоже. Я слышал, что они сделали для этого фильма модель "Титаника" в натуральную величину.

Это очень впечатляющий фильм. Кроме того, это трогательная история любви. Я советую всем моим друзьям, посмотреть "Титаник". Фильм был удостоен 11 Оскаров, и я уверен, что он заслуживает каждого  из них.
