That explains it. I’ve never had any desire to see that movie, and thus I never have.
For GenX / Xennials we grew up with a plethora of shitty ass movies not worth your time or headspace. No electronic devices, thus you’re subjected to that crap during social encounters. Multiple video rental stores in every town containing so much garbage, friends and relatives constantly naming it as the pinnacle of entertainment.
Given choices, later, as an adult, most so called popular or romantic crap is then easily avoided. Or you just read a book on your phone instead. What I would’ve given in my teens to have a slim little book holding device no one questions in my pocket.
Never bought the hype or music for Titanic. Thanks for ID-ing this photo.
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.

When I was a kid I thought it was dumb but kids are kinda dumb ngl
