The 1997 classic may be the second highest-grossing film of all time and have won 11 Oscars, but it’s still cool to hate Titanic.
Now in a recent interview, director Cameron was asked if the trend irritated him.
Speaking with Empire, he said: “It became fashionable to say you didn’t like Star Wars for a while.
“I think Freddie Mercury said in his bicycle song: ‘I didn’t like Star Wars, but I just wanna ride my bicycle.’”
Cameron continued: “Sold three million on that one. So yeah. sure.
“But it’s a total revision. And its mostly a revision coming from men, by the way.
The interviewer then asked if he meant this was because of Titanic’s love story.
The director replied: “Absolutely. I always say that the re-release of Titanic in 3D was so that men could cry and be seen ‘cause the glasses covered it up.”
Despite his comparison to Star Wars, Cameron has slammed the latest instalment, The Force Awakens.
Cameron said: “I have to say that I felt that George’s group of six films had more innovative visual imagination.
“This film was more of a retrenchment to things you had seen before and characters you have seen before and it took a few baby steps forward with new characters.
“So for me, the jury’s out. I want to see where they’re going with it.”
