#2 Those 8 women better not complain as they were just beards for Leo. No #MeLeo complaining.
LOL!
Being the equity worshiper that I am in today’s woke standards, I would have declared myself a transexual non binary panqueer netherkind and pushed her queertransnethephobic arse off the door and waited for my rescue.
When Rose threw the stone in the water, I wanted her to go after it and retrieve it.
Odd side bar: About sixty years ago, my grandmother told me that her aunt and uncle were on the Titanic, on its one voyage. Her aunt refused to get in a lifeboat without her husband. I know no details.
“ My favorite of the two is when DiCaprio slides beneath the surface”
I can’t help laughing out loud every time I see that scene, while all the women I have ever watched it with are sobbing.
Titanic was a movie about a 1912 ship with 1997 people on board. Watch “A Night to Remember”, then compare and contrast.
Did you know there is a monument in DC built by subscription “from the women of America to the heroic men of Titanic” which was in a prominent place but has since been moved to obscurity on an island in the Potomac?
I'm with the guys on this one.
The oft discussed scene was impossible from the beginning. Fact is, decapio is a narcissistic hedonist. He would have knocked winslet in the head, pushed her into the water, and saved himself.
Really? There was a debate on whether the door could have floated two?
It was a MOVIE and they wanted an emotional hook for the viewers.
I think she was supposed to be a spoiled rich girl. Yeah, she should’ve done all that stuff, but then there wouldn’t have been the ending where she and Jack had to part and he slipped into the water, yada yada, which is what they wanted to happen. I never cared for the Jack/Rose story. The real story of the Titanic, and the real people who sailed on her, were far more interesting than any made-up Hollywood love story.
That is true, but so many movies have already have been made about the Titanic that they went with the made-up story. I thought the love story, and the drawing, and Billy Zane's melodrama villain were stupid, but a story about the real adults and families on the ship wouldn't have brought the teens who made up so much of the audience into the theaters.
“Rose drops the diamond over the side.”
She does? I can’t believe it! Damn, I was going to watch that movie! Well... no point now I guess.
Thanks a lot rbg.
I liked your second favorite one as well.
“Vilgariry is no substitute for wit.”
Vulgarity in public speech is what witless speakers employ to (in their own minds) strongly make their points.
Justin Timberlake did pretty well for himself too.
I read that Cameron filmed an alternate ending with Gloria Stuart & Bill Paxton where Paxton’s character thinks she is committing suicide only to understand that she getting rid of the necklace & then helps her dump it over the side. The End.
I remember after my wife and I saw it in the theatre stating that Rose had a long life with kids, grandkids with another man but when she dies, she see Jack Dawson and not her husband?
Around 1910, the average height of women was 5’1-5’2”, weight around 120-125. Males were 5’6”-5’7” and around 140-145. Based on numbers collected in Detroit at 1900.
Entering WW2, the average recruit (all men of course) was 5’7” and 145 lbs.
Looks like Kate Winslet is 5’6” and around 140. So about what Jack would have been...
It should have been a better made-up story, then, instead of a story about a couple of unlikable people doing things that made little sense. Just MO. Well, I’m sure the picture made lots of money, so that’s all that matters.
