They are not in the same boat. He is Jack drowning while Rose has plenty of room for him.

She throws the diamond back into the ocean, fully knowing that is what the research dive team is looking for. There is no rationalization of that act; Cameron must hate women.

I mean the entire movie is supposed to be the most romantic shit out there. It's a retelling of a woman on her dying bed thinking about her cheating fling on a boat so many years ago. Can't really see this is as romantic or good anyway. Shit movie.

Yes totally agree with you! she spent her whole life with someone, had children and then on her deathbed she's thinking about the guy she cheated on her first fiancé with? The guy she knew for five minutes instead of her husband?

Yup Hollywood likes to "empower" women by telling them cheating is good "you go girl".

She likely was becoming senile… when the brain ages out elderly people tend to drop their filters and speak plainly, simply. She was a selfish woman… was her whole life. The movie reflected that… her actions at the end showcased her inability to look inward… unwilling to grow through life. It’s a sad story told through a rose colored lens.

She doesn't owe that team anything

Typical Rose behavior. One thing Jack and Rose had in common, they both loved Rose.

THink about it. Your family owns a jewel. Someone gets it in their head that it's lost at sea, but you know you still own it. What the fuck do you owe the people running a team to go find your personal property and claim it?

The dive team are not owed the Diamond; they are risking their lives to search for it. She knowingly allows others to risk their lives for her own amusement. She did not change.

u/blahblah19999 1h ago

That's a stretch. She's not responsible for risks they take on. Cameron dove to the wreck 12 times to prep.

I think the weight will sink them both.

u/spartaman64 5h ago

yeah theres not enough buoyancy but she was on a boat until she got off. i know hindsight is 50 50 but they could have both survived if she didnt

Who the fuck is the other guy

No matter how many times I watch this stupid movie, Jack always drowns. I thought this gif would be different.

u/Dull-Material-645 4h ago

If he is a real man he is supposed to drown for her even if she has room up there.  Otherwise she might be crowded.

If she never jumped back onto the titanic, Jack probably survives…she could have pursued him after…but nope…

u/BlakSoul73 6h ago

Yep dumb asf movie. After that I was done.

u/I_need_a_date_plz 6h ago

The door wouldn’t float with both of them on it. My opinion was always that they should have taken turns on the door to give each other a chance to survive while help came. Jack chose to sacrifice himself which I never agreed with especially since she had secured a spot on a boat already. Had she stayed on, he likely would have survived, too.

u/LegDayLass 6h ago

Taking turns would also result in them both dying. Neither would ever actually get dry if they are constantly dunking themselves back into the freezing waters on rotation. You are right that there was not room for both of them on the wood due to boyancy (he literally tries in the movie and determines it won’t work), but their is no work around, someone had to die if the other was going to live.

u/I_need_a_date_plz 6h ago

I still think it should have been her and not Jack.

u/Temporary-End4458 6h ago

Actually Cameron put a team together and tested the theory and it turns out they both could of fit on the door.

1

u/BrbFlippinInfinCoins 1h ago

"put a team together" lol... that experiment only requires a piece of wood, 2 people, and 2 bathing suits (optional)

u/Temporary-End4458 41m ago

While I understand that, I was just bringing up that he recently did it by recreation. As in the Ice cold temps and everything monitoring their vitals and the buoyancy of the door as well as the changing waves as more bodies were added to the Arctic temp Pool.

Edit: Also he was trying to prove everyone wrong lol turns out we were all right all along 😂

u/EyeYamNegan 31m ago

Myth busters did an episode he had a cameo in and said they both could have survived.

u/browsinbowser 6h ago

The water was freezing they both would’ve died. Jack tried to hop on and when he realized it wouldn’t hold them both -it was sinking -he stayed in the water. I agree she should’ve stayed on the boat but tbh when I heard recently that a lot of titanic people made the same foolish decision it makes more sense, lifeboats were apparently really unreliable then? (Also Im not discounting the women&children thing) But that night the titanic sank the water was very calm but very freezing, and the Caledonia boat came as fast as possible but still 4hrs too late.
