Ain’t that some incel shieet
What do you expect? 4chan is infested with incels
This is a really good example of me feeling really one-sided about something and then having my mind changed by the comment section. Somehow I didn’t think about the fact that being on the Titanic sinking would be a pretty pivotal memory in someone’s life lol.
What 4chan does to the chronically online lmfao
Makes them willing to change their view when new evidence is presented? Lol
No, be one sided on an argument and believe you’re right lol
Somehow I didn’t think about the fact that being on the Titanic sinking would be a pretty pivotal memory in someone’s life lol.
Thanks to the Polish writer Andrzej Pilipiuk when i hear anything about Titanic sinking first thing i think is that it sunk because a moonshine aparature exploded in cargo hold and they just lied about iceberg because they weren’t insured for that.
It was also the time when she watched a man die to save her life.
He didn’t even have to, mythbusters did a show on it lol
Idk why you’re being downvoted. They did, and you’re right. A door of that size made with accurate wood could hold two adult men out of the water when they removed their life vests and put them under the door.
If Jack and Rose had done the same, they would have increased the chance of survival for both of them by both being out of the water and having double the body heat to warm each other.
Because you missed in the same episode during that part where David Cameron said that Leo’s character dying was what had to happen. That was the story. It is a pointless gotcha, based on the movie not spending the time to determine the exact amount of buoyancy of a ship wreck.
Did they come up with that idea while floating in sub-freezing water, after having just experienced multiple near-death scenarios, while afraid for their lives? The reality is that it’s easy to solve a problem in a lab, not so much under duress.
You just described an average day on Mythbusters.
My favorite episodes are where they’re testing the prowess of some legendary athlete or fighter, and they, being two out of shape nerds, would try the feat, be unable to do it, and be like “MYTH BUSTED!”. I was glad to see when they called in an actual master of ninjitsu to test if a ninja can catch arrows, after they themselves were unable to even get close to catching one. That ninja actually did it too! Snatched some arrows right out of the air.
How would you keep the life vests under the door in an ocean?
They have straps to tie them on you. You tie them together and hold them under the door. Or use any of the other crap floating in the ocean. Literally anything could be held in a shirt or pants. You can inflate your pants themselves by tying the legs together and blowing air into the waistband.
I imagine it would be quite difficult to tie knots with frozen limbs and fingers, in the dark. And trying to get a second person on the door would have required the already freezing girl to dip into the water. I can see why they wouldn’t try it.
Sure but they didn’t have Mythbusters on air when the Titanic sank.
No but Jamie was having his 60th birthday on the Titanic at the time lol
Of course, because a forced arranged marriage to a narcissistic fuckwit would have made her life so much better… /s
So we’re just ignoring the children then?
As if a man wouldn’t be having the exact same fantasies
Well, the whole movie centered around her memories while people explored the wreck site (if my memory is correct, I haven’t seen it since around 2000). It would be like if you were walking around your old high school at the end of your life and someone gets pissed because you remembered that day the new girl banged you under the bleachers and then died in a gymnasium fire.
What else was she supposed to think about?
That’s a fantastic analogy lol
Right? Have you seen Leo?
Oh yeah, I forgot it was Leo for a second.
He can draw me anytime.
No way.
I’d have a lot more than just one homeless chick.
Speaking as a wife and mother, it’s likely the only time in her adult life that somebody focused on her wants and needs instead of expecting her to cater to theirs.
Following that thought through fully: and her wants for those two days happened to be dick from a homeless man.
Lol. I get what you’re saying though.
also to be a naked model for a painting
There’s a difference between a wanderer and a homeless person, a massive difference.
Sure bro, but when a dude does it you’re like “He is my role model!”
edit: Not talking about “you” the commenter, just the double standards of people.
Maybe you should get a better husband
Maybe she got married when she was young and naive and was pressured by her family to settle down with the first half decent man she met. And then by the time she grew up and learned to think about her own needs, she already had kids who needed looking after more than she did.
You have a bad marriage.
Isn’t that obvious from the comment?
Yes - my point is I do most (almost all) of the cooking and cleaning because I love my partner. In fact I just washed her underwear by hand in the sink. Her needs are meticulously attended to, it’s not the default in heterosexual relationships that a woman be emotionally neglected.
Ignore the incels. They think it’s a privilege for women to be even heard.
Sounds like you have a martyr complex
She wasn’t on her death bed. She was a mobile old lady who was flown out to a marine vessel to talk to scientists. She dies in her sleep at the end of “old age” and isn’t suffering from any ailment. Also, the story is about how a poor boy showed a rich girl a different life and rescued her from her abusive fiance. What woman wouldn’t want to be rescued from an abusive relationship by 20 year old Leo on the world’s most extravagant cruise ship? Then at the end after she dies, she sees her long lost love in the context she remembers him: dapper, well dressed, and surrounded by gilded beautiful fixtures and things at the stairwell.
Lots of sensitive susans in the comments. If you don’t like it block it and move on. There’s too many people on lemmy that want to dictate what everyone can and can’t see rather than moderating what they themselves see.
Lemmy is a pretty bad echo chamber at the moment. Here it seems like there’s only ever one right opinion.
seeing pushback against stupid-ass opinions is the exact opposite of an echo chamber, but it would be an echo chamber if everyone was just agreeing with the post.
Amerika bad. Amiright?
Apparently that’s the misogynistic one, based on a whole series of posts on the front page at the moment and the hundreds of gross comments that have followed.
you’re getting downvoted but you’re fucking correct.
this place is becoming just like reddit in that people dig up any sort of injustices they can find (or fabricate) toward men and then incorrectly blame it on feminists and women without so much as a citation. hateful misconceptions then spread like wildfire because these guys just take anything that re-affirms their biases at face value without any critical thought.
If you don’t want to see the “sensitive susans”, block them and move on.
got it you’re blocked lol.
Sure, Susan
what the hell are you even talking about? nobody is calling for this post to be removed. criticism isn’t censorship.
That’s hypocritical. If you can’t take it then don’t dish it. Calling out obviously bad greentext is part of this community.
To answer the question:
- She didn’t know she was going to die on that bed.
- She was asked to tell the story to researchers wanting to find a jewel.
- She got caught up in her story.
Perfectly normal.
Now for what is not normal is that Rose is extremely coldhearted and selfish throughout the entire story, even when she’s telling the story from her perspective and one of her only redeeming qualities that she has is that she’s not Cal. But remember, this is HER version of the story. Imagine how the perspectives could have been wildly different from hers.
Anyway in HER version of the story…:- Rose denies her husband and children her wealth.
She never told anyone about it and throws away the jewel
that could have been extremely useful for her children or grandchildren.
Their tuition, medical expenses, you name it.
Not to mention it would have given the researchers
closure to all of their efforts to find this treasure,
which we now know will be fruitless.
And she’s did it with glee, saying “Oops” with a smile.
Oh yeah, spite those researchers and your children granny!
We’ve really seen how awful they are, especially her children.
And if she hated her own children, she could have given the money to charity.
Or she could have given it to Jack’s family. But I guess the family of a hobo
would never appreciate such a gift. - Rose killed Jack.
She never regretted having hogged the wreckage that could have saved Jack’s life.
Mythbusters proved that the life vests could have been used to give the wreckage more
bouyancy that would have kept them both afloat.
They could have taken turns on that wreckage. She could have given him her life vest.
She could have stayed on the life boats, then Jack would have had the wreckage on his own.
She could have traded herself in for Jack since she was the idiot having made the dumb decision of leaving the lifeboat.
Jack died through her actions and for 70 years until her death this never occured to her.
Not to mention, since she went on the life boat, she’s responsible for taking a seat that could have been taken by another person. A child, a man, a lady. That person would have survived.
Or it could have been her maid Trudy, who died on the ship because there wasn’t enough space on the life boats. - Rose flips on her secret lover
When Jack is being framed by her fiancée of being a thief,
she lets him down by believing her fiancée’s lies,
despite her telling Jack that she trusts him.
I guess not.
This almost gets Jack killed at an earlier time. - Rose knows that through her cheating, she is accidentally responsible for every single one of those deaths of that happened on the Titanic, including children and babies and doesn’t regret that at all.
She could have felt guilt for not communicating clearly to Cal that this isn’t working out.
That she made a mistake by going on board with this ship.
But instead she secretly runs off, kisses Jack on deck, which distracts of couple of crew members that were specifically there to watch the sea for icebergs. She could have felt guilty for not having kissed in a more more private area.
She could have felt guilty for cheating in the first place.
And when her fiancée finds out that she’s cheating with him, she just reacts coldly towards him, to which he flips the table in rage and slaps her… in HER version of the story. - She doesn’t let her mother know that she’s alive.
She lets no one know that she’s alive after the Titanic sunk. That includes her own mother.
Instead she takes up the last name of the man she killed. Creepy.
Speaking of her mother,
when Rose lights up a cigarette and blows smoke close to her mother’s face, her mother asks Rose to please stop doing that, you know I don’t like that,
She then responds to fully blowing smoke into her mother’s face.
Disrespectful. - Her last thoughts before she dies are of her dancing with Jack.
Not of her husband she lived 70 years with.
Not of her children, not of her grandchildren.
Just a hobo she had a fling with for two days… that she killed… among a thousand others.
And she doesn’t think of her husband and children and grandchildren during those last,
she doesn’t think of them during the entire movie. Never. Not once do we see them.
What we do see are eight pictures on her nightstand. Every single one of them are of herself.
Herself.
Now I said ‘one of her few redeeming qualities’ because she another one.
That is that she was 17 at the time,
and being played by a 20 year old Kate Winslet that’s a bit difficult to see.
However, even 17 year olds would be more responsible as she acts like a 13 year old,
since that’s what her character is actually based on, 13-year old Juliet from Romeo and Juliet.
But as much as this would have redeemed Rose’s actions on the boat as a teenager,
those reflections should have hit the Rose the grandma to put things into perspective.
That didn’t happen.
