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.

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

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 15 hours ago

For some reason I thought it was Wendy from Hook lol

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's the ending of Spiderman 3.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Never seen it. What happened in this scene?

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 3 points 15 hours ago

The big boat sinks.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day 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 45 points 1 day ago

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

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day 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

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 1 day 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 45 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children)

Literally the most watched film of all time.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

I saw that a year or two after it first came out and I don't remember any of this being part of it..

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 1 day 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 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 20 hours ago

Yes, and at least a billion other people have seen it since.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I think the count may be skewed, unless they accounted for folks who were paying to watch it in the theater multiple times per day, multiple times per week, for its entire run. I knew several of those at the time.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 23 hours ago

Multiple times, I'm tired of it.

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.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Anyone whose seen it

See, that's where it all falls over.

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 1 day 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.

[–] arockinyourshoe@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Watched it a couple months ago with my wife. She drops the jewel into the ocean above the wreckage, then goes back home, where we see a bunch of pictures across her dresser showing that she had an adventurous and fulfilling life, inspired by Jack's last words to her.

To be fair, Titanic was pretty iconic

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 20 hours ago

I tried watching it three times and fell asleep every time. I've come to the conclusion, that it is a very boring movie.

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 day 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

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.
