My Movie Experience: Watching Titanic in LASU

By Similoluwa Ifedayo

On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to watch the 1997 blockbuster "Titanic" as part of Lagos State University's (LASU) Faculty of Law social week organized by the LASULAW Students' Society.

 As I walked into the Okunnuga moot court (the makeshift cinema), I was struck by the opulence of the decoration and the comfortable seating. The moot court had been transformed with curtains and lighting, giving it a true theatre vibe.

As I settled into my seat, I was offered popcorn and a drink to enjoy during the movie. The sound and picture quality were both outstanding, making it easy to get lost in the romance on screen. The recreation of the Titanic and its magnificent interiors was breathtaking, and the portrayal of the ship's fateful voyage was both harrowing and poignant.

One of the things that stood out for me was the incredible performances of the lead actors, DiCaprio and Winslet. Their chemistry was electric and their portrayal of the characters' doomed romance was both heart-wrenching and beautiful. As the movie went on, I found myself completely absorbed in the story, forgetting that I was in a cinema.

Overall, Titanic is a cinematic masterpiece that truly stands the test of time. It's a powerful and moving tribute to the tragic events of 1912 and the human lives lost in the disaster. 

I must commend the organizers for choosing such a captivating film. The reactions of the students were mixed when they first heard the movie had been chosen, but their reactions changed during and after the movie. Everyone left smiling and impressed by the setup and overall experience.

After the movie ended, I had a chance to chat with some of the other movie-goers and everyone agreed that it was one of the most exciting and unique cinema experiences on campus.

 The dim lighting, the presence of the projector, and the high-quality film made for a truly unforgettable evening at the movies. It was a perfect example of the power of cinema and a great movie to transport us to different worlds and engross us in the lives of characters. It was a welcome distraction from the daily stresses of campus life.
