You’re forgetting the part where on her deathbed, she doesn’t think about her husband she spent decades with, or her children, or her family at all. She thinks about a random homeless guy she fucked as a rebellious teen.
Absolute cinema.
My friend convinced a 45 yr old pharmacist to divorce her husband and leave her family. He dumped her right after.
Honestly that’s pretty funny.
Jesus. That’s how you end up on an episode if Dateline.
You don’t even know the half of it.

At least she throws a priceless diamond necklace into the sea to honour all the poor people that died
I remember thinking she had dropped it on accident and felt bad for her when I first saw it as a kid. She made a little “oh!” with a look of what I thought was surprise
At the time titanic came out, romcoms really hit peak it seems. And i watched a bunch of them. Being 14, i had no idea about life in general, and always assumed people get married some time after the movie ends and they found each other. In most movies it’s fucking ridiculous. You watch two people fall in love who realistically talked to each other for an hour in real time.
Technically, he froze to death.
Technical there was room for two on that door
Everyone is all “actually it would be impossible” like this bitch did math before telling the guy to go fuck himself.
Only if they both had the knowledge and frame of mind to engi her flotation devices from the life vest rose was wearing. Otherwise the door would have sunk enough for them to freeze to death before rescue came. Provides they knew rescue was coming after a certain time.
Considering one was a socialite, and the other a freelance artist, and both had just almost been killed multiple times… no, I don’t think they would have had the foresight to come up with the exact scenario that would have saved them both.
No there wasnt.
Room for 2? Maybe. Buoyancy for 2? No.
There is a Mythbusters episode on this. Rose literally and figuratively fucked Jack.
I don’t recall the full episode but a few things stood out.
- it would be cold as hel, so properly strapping a lifevest around some flotsam seems iffy
- isn’t saltwater more buoyant or is that old fishwife’s tale? Also idk if that test body of water is salty.
Yep, saltwater has more buoyancy, and the higher the salinity, the more buoyant the water.

Only if they had the knowledge and abilities (and time to come up with a plan) of two people whose job it is to come up with exactly this kind of thing.
Sure, it was possible. That doesn’t make it probable.
“Climb on the door” seems like something within their knowledge and abilities.
I take it you didn’t actually watch the mythbusters episode, then. If they both just climbed on the door they would have both died. They would have had to jury-rig a contraption using the life-preserver Rose was wearing to survive… barely.
It would somewhat undermine the core of their narrative being a tragedy within a larger tragedy though.
Titanic was the story of a manic pixie dream boy fixing a rich woman with his penis.
I also wasted an entire ship’s manhours and fuel to look for something I had in my pocket all along.
The precious
If you watch Titanic in reverse it’s about a sad lady floating on a door who idly fishes a cute boy out of the ocean and brings him onto a big fancy steamship that has conveniently sprouted up over by an iceberg, where they have steamy no-strings vacation sex until they split up because they each find new boyfriends on the ship they’d rather go to Europe with.
A much better movie!
I saw that movie with my dad, who spent years reading about the Titanic because he took an interest in it for some reason.
I’m not sure which one of us hated that movie more.
I’m glad that people are looking back on it these days and realizing it was just not a good movie.
If you want to see a good Titanic movie, check out A Night to Remember, made in the UK in 1958. Sure, it won’t have the dazzling special effects. It also doesn’t have a stupid as fuck plot.
I don’t understand how either of you would be upset watching the movie. The rich girl slept with a homeless guy, and then she let him drown.
It’s movie magic
That, and I have a memory of my father saying something along the lines of, “why were we supposed to care about those two fictional people when there were real people on the Titanic?” I do not disagree.
The entire movie was a build up to the guy hitting the propellers.
I wonder if you could edit Jack and Rose out of the movie and make it good?
That’s an interesting idea. I’d like to know the result, too.
Gotta keep all of Billy Zanes scenes though.
Maybe add a walk-off and a handful of male models
But why male models?
How about a super short but also super high budget edutainment show?

Did it have a dude bouncing off a propeller while emitting the Wilhelm Scream? I didn’t think so.
Being a huge nerd on certain topics tend to ruin the fun of watching movies.
True, but I was not a nerd on the topic. I just thought it was stupid to shoehorn a boring forbidden love subplot into a movie about the most famous fucking ship sinking of all time as if that alone wasn’t dramatic enough.
The titanic is far better as an engineering failure story.
I prefer it as a “lol, as if” hubris from someone that read “The wreck of the Titan, or: Futility”
I mean, if I was gonna drown, I wouldn’t mind hooking up beforehand. Just saying.
But would you take the time to be a nude artist’s model?
How cold is the pool water?
So romantic!
Context?
The movie Titanic by James Cameron. It was very highly regarded, but the plot is a woman in her deathbed recounting how she is spending her final moments thinking about a random homeless dude she fucked as a teen and then let drown, instead of her children or husband or…literally anything else.
Yes, please guys. Always wear context.
If Jack had survived, they would never have worked anyways. You can’t just pick up a homeless guy and make him your husband in high society, and she never would have survived being poor with him. They would have just ended up fat and old together, living in a shitty tenement building, eating boiled cabbages and yelling at each other while their 20 kids run around the ones bedroom apartment
They came from a time where they weren’t as likely to end up fat.
I’ve never watched the movie but people have definitely gotten inheritance while marrying into a “lower class” before
the weirdest prequel to Johnny Dangerously ever
Did we watch the same movie? He tries to get on but it can’t hold both of them. That happens in the movie.
Even if the door could technically hold them both, Jack didn’t want to risk Rose’s safety by trying to climb on and weighing it down more. Dude was fucked regardless I think, skinny little guy in the icy water, forget it. Maybe if Jack had been played by Jack black, his thick body would have protected him
It’s kind of a braindead meme that people use who think they are smarter than they actually are. You can fit an elephant on a door, that doesn’t mean it has enough buoyancy to carry it.
It’s like that reddit thing where people said that in karate kid, daniel is actually the bad guy and the villain of the movie is the good guy, because they saw a video of a guy who took clips out of context. Okay so you’re an expert now on a movie that you clearly haven’t seen.
I think it’s also people remembering the visual and not the dialogue. They remember it happening but don’t remember Jack trying to get on and it starting to sink. So when they see memes about it they’re like “yeah wtf was up with that!”
The karate kid bad guy thing was also a major plot for the TV show.
Genuinely thought this was going to be a political meme about Jill Stein until I clicked
I can feel it coming in the air tonight.
