She was involved in a major historical event where the person she thought she'd be with forever died right in front of her.
Also she's telling the story of the Titanic to people who asked her to tell the story about her time on the Titanic. Why would her kids or family be relevant? This is just rage bait.
She also wasn't on her deathbed lol she was just old
She died in bed at the end of the movie, so technically she was on her death bed every night that she slept on that ship.
I don't remember that, is that a deleted scene?
Even besides all that, why does any of this reflect on other women? incel ass shit
Edit: judging by the voting, a bunch of incels found this thread
I think the post is dumb but the logic is that it reflects on other women because millions of them think it's a good love story (as per the post).
Except, this logic falls apart immediately when you start understanding that she was in love with the dude and he died trying to save her. That's something you remember your whole life. This is just a bad unhealthy take from OP and the downvoters here.
Sure, but millions of women are able to separate fiction from reality, and thus are able to appreciate a story which didn't really happen, unlike this anon
Hmm, yea it's probably the Anon who doesn't understand reality and fiction, not the people taking a greentext at face value and making sexual judgements.
Did you not read the banner before coming here? The whole point is to make fun of 4chan, perhaps find a few diamonds in the rough.
4chan makes fun of itself you arn't going to add anything there. The purpose of this community "greentext" is to take a specific style of post that 4chan uses (that is almost certainly an absurd joke and not the secret desires of the poster) and join in on the joke. Kind of like how "memes" work.
Rose had adopted a new life under an assumed name after the sinking. Her family wasn't even aware that she had been on the Titanic, much less met what she considered her soulmate.
Rose allowed herself to tell the story that had weighed on her for 70 years, nearly her entire life, because she knew she was nearing the end of her life.
That's why her scenes are so powerful.
OT:
I can't find the critique of this movie from a classicist viewpoint anymore. That was one interesting read.
I’m so confused because I thought Rose was an amalgamation but you’re speaking of a singular individual in a factual way that makes me wonder how wrong I am. Is there really a Rose from the titanic that aligns with what you’re saying?
Not sure how long it's been since you saw the movie but it starts and ends with a much older Rose in the modern era, on board a research vessel out looking for the wreck of the Titanic. While aboard she starts telling the story of her time on the Titanic, that story then becomes the rest of the film. There's a sort of epilogue at the end where she wraps it up, then passes away in bed.
I think that's what OP is talking about.
Why would anyone get angry about this lol
