Give it a shot it’s a good film. Considering it was filmed in 1997 the visuals still hold up pretty well and the writing is pretty good, especially by today’s standards.

I prefer things more like Amelie for romantic comedy. And old school 5hr 90s versions of Pride & Prejudice for straight romance. Besides, now you’re telling me not only does the ship sink and romance not win out, but she drops the one bright spot, future financial security for her family, in the ocean. Why would I watch that?

That, and I’ve never been a DiCaprio fan. Winslet is cool though.

I mean the jewel represented way more than just financial security. I would say her reasoning to dump it is pretty valid. It also means that romance absolutely won out.

For people that have been there it kind of makes sense. The jewel represented the man that was her abuser. He wanted to keep her locked up in a cage. Her dumping the jewel was her catharsis that she was free. Free to make her own choices.
