Does anyone else have problem with Titanic?

I think they could of both gotten onto that platform together. If you noticed they tried to but when they did they tried getting on at the same side. There would of had to have been balance. Okay so what if they were on opposite sides of it and lifted themselves up and onto it at the same time? Then it couldn't of flipped and they both would of been able to get onto it.

Anybody else see "Titanic 3D" in the theater earlier this year? I'm surprised nobody mentioned it yet(especially League Girl) even though a lot of this thread is old.

I have a problem with Rose letting Jack die. They could have found some floating debris and at least try to use that to float up. (in swimming, flutterboards that weigh less than a cushion can be used to help keep someone alfloat.. However freezing waters would of course jeapordize any chance for reproduction at least Jack could have stayed alive, perhaps finding a door, a bunch of over sided suitcases...

As for the heart of the Ocean diamond Rose threw away, she could have cashed it in, and given her Grandaughter a life.... so she too can be independent, or provide for her long suffering granddaughter. or given it away to charity, Since the theme of her character is the power of love to help free her from the shackles of a Patriarchial society shurly she could donate that blingage to a women's shelter who shelters women against men like Calvin. Perhaps some scholarships for single mothers.... girls who are in poverty... hell. Donate to women movements around the world....

She didn't "let" him die. He was protecting her. That was what men did back in those days. And it was fairly obvious that he was dead since he was frozen solid and stuck to the board, and she had to almost pry him off of it. I was sad that she threw the necklace away but not because she could have been famous. Maybe she didn't want to be famous. She died that night anyway, maybe she sensed it was coming, so fame really didn't matter much at that point.

Yes I saw it and thought it wasn't worth it. You could pretty much see the movie without 3D gasses. Why would I need to mention the movie again?

Because somebody bumped this old thread, and you were posting in it again.

By the way I thought it was pretty neat in IMAX 3D since I didn't see it in the theater back in 97. Being twice as long as a lot of other movies made it worth the admission price in my opinion. The 3D effect was subtle through a lot of the movie although it was much more noticeable during certain scenes, and IMAX improves the sound quality a lot too I think.

They were not very specific about all the things Rose did over her life, one of them being raising horses, which in reality is a sure fire way to loose significant sums of money, the only way you could do that is to be subsidize by someone. The writers smartly wrote the raising horses dream in as it is a common fantasy.

The elderly Rose travels with an enormous sum of luggage, an amount only someone who was extremely rich could possibly be accustomed to doing. Yet she lived a lifestyle that ensures rapid wealth reduction unless she was really good at bagging very rich men, something the movie points out she is on an all out effort to avoid. To pack her luggage she would need at least three servants plus her long suffering granddaughter and a U-Haul truck just to get that amount of luggage to the airport. Especially on short notice.

The Rose character has an annoying I'm so independent yet live in a way which requires an army of servants, not to mention the financial requirements for that, because I am better than everyone else mindset. I am always right, I can do whatever I want with no consequence, am the center of attention, and most importantly not required to provide anything financially to anyone and yet everyone else will support me without question. As Rose I have always had a large sum of wealth yet have never had to pay anyone anything, they all support me no matter what I do or what I engage in. I am so good I can through all this wealth away, it does not mean anything because I'm so good. Reality, I am the cheapest creature on earth. I know it is a common very appealing fantasy, if not over the top on selfishness.

Rose could have taken a que from the American tradition started by 19th 20th and even 21st century super wealthy. I am thinking of the Rockefeller not be understated a whole very long list of others who gave there wealth away for a wide varsity of philanthropic causes

If Rose did give the diamond to some worthy cause she would have been a saint albeit living a lifestyle far beyond her means without a benefactor.

It might be quite possible that Rose has a trust fund, or some sort of other provisions perhaps made for her before the family went bankrupt, It's quite possible for the auctioneers to have overlooked it. And probably she changed her name so that Calvin couldn't track her down. A few bribes could easily unlock that blngage.
because from her old black and white photographs. It also indicates that she was a flyer... And outdoors person, ie like you mention horse ranching, adventuring around the world.

Rose started her own life after she got off the ship. Who knows how she started out. Maybe she used the money Cal left in his coat pocket he put on her and she stayed at a place and got a job and then worked her way to being an actress. It could have been silent films or being on stage. In the deleted scene which was the alternate ending, Brock and Lizzy see the old Rose climbing on the railing and thinking she is going to jump overboard, they run after her and they see she has the necklace. She explains to them she never pawned it off because she didn't need Cal's help so she kept it all those years. Brock asks to hold it so he does and then she throws it overboard. But however you can still hear the music on the soundtrack and that is why you wouldn't recognize it in the movie. It was in the alternate ending. So that would mean she probbaly didn't use Cal's money she found in his coat pocket or else he be helping her and she didn't want his help. Maybe she donated it or something like gave it to the orphanage or to charity or to the poor so that way Cal was helping those people out.

Sometimes I wonder if her mother or Cal ever found out she was alive all that time. If she played in silent films, it would give herself away unless they didn't recognize her. I even wonder how Rose's mother felt about her loss? Did she grieve or kill herself because she couldn't live her life being poor and working as a seamstress? That is what she gets for trying to force her to marry someone she didn't like. Maybe that is the way things were back then perhaps, parents always picking a person for their child to marry. It's like that still in some countries.

Besides if Rose did pawn off the necklace for money, she would have been charged for fraud because Cal filed an insurance claim for it because he thought it went down with the ship as indicated in the movie. Old Rose somehow knew already. Maybe she read it in the papers.


They leave us to speculate.

lol, Here's the sequel.

Good riddance to the 1900's.

It was ok,. Too sad for me though. Too much romance.

An Australian billionaire wants to rebuild the Titanic and have it go the original Titanic route from England to New york.

The best part about Titanic was the French and Saunders p***take.
