I always love it when people refer to “this ending” or “this scene” as if everyone is supposed to know what this blurry still is supposed to be from. Even if it was a video, that still doesn’t tell me what it’s from.

Edit: to all the haters…

Saying 'what kind of an idiot doesn't know about the Yellowstone supervolcano' is so much more boring than telling someone about the Yellowstone supervolcano for the first time.

Never seen it. What happened in this scene?

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 84 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

The framing device for yhe while movie is that they're searching the wreck to find a priceless necklace, and bring along an old woman who had it when the ship sank to help them. She then tells them her story, moves them into abandoning the search, and in the end it's revealed she had it the whole time when she throws it overboard.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 49 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the actual explanation without being condescending or demeaning! I appreciate it

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks, I actually didn't know this because I've usually fallen asleep while trying to watch that movie with someone lol

The big boat sinks.

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

I had no idea what I was looking at, then you writing this instantly made me realize the scene.

So yeah, I think the commenter’s got a point

[–] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

Damn, I had a feeling, it was Titanic, because of the eerie lighting, but I've never watched it, never seen this scene.

I guess, it did narrow things down, though, that it's posted here without explanation...

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 44 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (8 children)

Literally the most watched film of all time.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 64 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I dont remember this scene from backdoor sluts 9...

Nonetheless, I would be willing to bet that only a single digit percentage of people on this planet have seen this nearly 30 year-old movie.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

128 million Americans saw it in theatres when it came out apparently (that's just Americans! And just the initial theatre release). But it's been shown on TV, streaming services, etc (and you could pirate it of course) and is accessible in pretty much every country today. There's been surveys with results like "26% of brits haven't seen Titanic", etc, but no real hard data unfortunately. But I'd wager the percentage has to be double digits. Not super high double digits, but definitely double digits.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean a portion of those have certainly died within 30 years?

I have seen it, but because it has been nearly 30 years since I have, I had no recollection of this scene.

And what percentage do you think is represented on Lemmy?

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

4.784% of which 95.88% haven't seen it since they saw it at the cinema or briefly after on VHS.

Anyone whose seen it knows where it’s from. It’s the final scene from James Cameron’s Titanic in which she throws the infamous jewel into the ocean.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I saw the movie and had no idea. Although it was well over twenty years ago and I was more interested in the gal I was sitting next to than the movie.

Nah i've seen it atleast twice and it took me a while to have guessed titanic. Still needed the comments to confirm it. Can't remember jewel being thrown away at all

[–] la508@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Exactly the same as me. The film's 30 years old, and I've definitely seen it, but probably not in the last 20 years or more. I just about recognised it was Rose but haven't got a fucking scooby what she does at the end of the film. I thought it ended with her sat on the piece of wood watching Jack sink.

To be fair, Titanic was pretty iconic

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 25 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Never seen it. Something about French ladies and floating door space?

You're not alone. I've not seen it, no intention to either

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Its actually all just a high concept, softcore porno that takes place in a Model A Ford, just with an unusually developed plot and large production value, that bookends this.

Its ok, there can be cultural references you do not immediately understand, we don't have to all have the exact same repetoire of concepts in our brains.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Until coming to the comments, I thought it was from The Others, but that didn't fit the title.

[–] Jaycifer@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

I have never watched the movie, don’t know that I’ve ever seen an image from this scene, but instantly recognized it because I’ve read people complain about it so many times online.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's a frame from near the end of my sex tape.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

For some reason I thought it was Wendy from Hook lol
