Don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame her for rejecting the fiancee. He was the controlling villain.
But even at the last scene, she could have rescued Jack by playing up to the fiancee. Assuage his ego, reject Jack. The fiancee would have gotten his victory. Rose was so self-absorbed she didn’t think about protecting Jack (even if she temporarily hurt him in the short-term).
Just weak, weak, weak.
If anyone was a danger to my husband, I would tell any lie, pull any stunt, do whatever I needed to do to protect him, to give him a chance to survive. Where there is life, there is hope.
And why they heck didn’t they switch places on the door? He could have made it if she wasn’t so selfish.
And why did she toss the necklace overboard? Give it to the crew who spent millions looking for it. What a waste!
Sorry if I sound judgmental. I’ve been in dicey, life and death situations before, including an active shooter with bullets flying. I made sure the people around me were safe first and worried about myself last. I kept it together until I got home...then I cried like a baby in my husband’s arms.
I enjoyed Titanic for the recreation of final hours. The “love story” made me want to puke.
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.
