Titanicis one of the most iconic and beloved films in all of cinematic history.
The heartbreaking film is certainly a memorable one, but is it deserving of all the hype it gets?
Just how good is this movie when viewed from the critical lens of adulthood?
IsTitanica cinematic treasure, or is its melodrama better suited for younger audiences?
This is what you notice when you watchTitanicas an adult.
Why would Rose display paintings for a week-long trip on the Titanic?
It’s clear from the beginning ofTitanicthat Rose is pretty high maintenance.
This trip is supposed to take what, a week?
Wouldn’t it be easier to leave her Monets and Picassos packed?
Who decorates their room on a ship?
Also, ships are known for swaying a bit.
One choppy night and those paintings could topple to the ground.
Fortunately, Jack’s tactics work, but we still wouldn’t recommend trying them out in real life.
Why did Rose wait so long to defend Jack in Titanic?
She begins to scream for help, and Jack manages to pull her back on board.
Rosefinallyspeaks up, saying that she lost her balance and that Jack saved her life.
Why didn’t Rose speak up in Jack’s defense sooner?
Rose is engaged and Jack knows that, but does he respect that she’s in a relationship?
But why does Jack feel the need to seduce her with so much urgency?
Couldn’t he have wooed her more subtly?
For all they knew at that point, they had all their lives to spend together.
Things could have gone a lot worse for the former ballerina.
As Rose herself says, she hasn’t done that in years.
She’s lucky she didn’t injure herself.
Young Rose is… kind of a brat.
She’s immature and, to be honest, kind of a pushover.
She lets her mom and Cal bully her around and dictate her life.
She even lets Jack tell her what she should do.
Of course, in 1912, most women were expected to marry young.
Women weren’t even allowed to vote at that time.
Again, she is slow to come to his defense.
She could have accused Cal of setting him up.
But nope, she just lets the man she supposedly loves be taken into custody.
She finally evolves into a confident young woman determined to make her life her own.
Faking your own death is a pretty extreme way of gaining independence.
How did Rose get by after surviving the Titanic?
What exactly did Rose do after she survived the Titanic?
She has no clothes, no money, and no family to help out.
How did she get by?
It’s possible Rose got a job as a governess or as a dance teacher.
Why didn’t Rose just sell the necklace in Titanic?
There’s one way that Rose could have gotten by quite comfortably after surviving the Titanic.
Instead, she keeps it hidden away,dropping it into the oceanat the end ofTitanic.
How is the drawing of Rose so vibrant nearly a century after the Titanic sank?
For that matter, why on earth was the drawing preserved at all?
Considering Cal’s violent temper, he seems more like the jot down to tear up such a drawing.
Well, at least it contributed to one ofthe most romantic movie scenes in history.
Young love is a beautiful thing, but Jack and Rose arefrom different worldsand barely know each other.
