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.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She also wasn't on her deathbed lol she was just old

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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?

[–] ProstheticBrain@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

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 prologue at the end where she wraps it up, then passes away in bed.

I think that's what OP is talking about.

It was also the time when she watched a man die to save her life.

He didn't even have to, mythbusters did a show on it lol

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Idk why you’re being downvoted. They did, and you’re right. A door of that size made with accurate wood could hold two adult men out of the water when they removed their life vests and put them under the door.

If Jack and Rose had done the same, they would have increased the chance of survival for both of them by both being out of the water and having double the body heat to warm each other.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Did they come up with that idea while floating in sub-freezing water, after having just experienced multiple near-death scenarios, while afraid for their lives? The reality is that it's easy to solve a problem in a lab, not so much under duress.

[–] Grellan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Because you missed in the same episode during that part where David Cameron said that Leo's character dying was what had to happen. That was the story. It is a pointless gotcha, based on the movie not spending the time to determine the exact amount of buoyancy of a ship wreck.

[–] ShustOne@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They try in the movie and it causes them both to be in the freezing water. It wasn't about him being able to float, it was about them both not freezing to death.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

They don’t put the life vests under the door in the movie, which is the key detail tested by the Mythbusters.

[–] Sekrayray@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a really good example of me feeling really one-sided about something and then having my mind changed by the comment section. Somehow I didn’t think about the fact that being on the Titanic sinking would be a pretty pivotal memory in someone’s life lol.

[–] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What 4chan does to the chronically online lmfao

[–] spaphy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lots of sensitive susans in the comments. If you don't like it block it and move on. There's too many people on lemmy that want to dictate what everyone can and can't see rather than moderating what they themselves see.

[–] ShustOne@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is recommending someone to not interact with a post they don't like because you don't like a different opinion anything but being a sensitive Susan yourself?

[–] spaphy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

why the fuck you going around on the internet telling people what they can and can't do.

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

They didn't tell you to or not to do anything, you should reread what they wrote.

[–] Chriszz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy is a pretty bad echo chamber at the moment. Here it seems like there’s only ever one right opinion.

[–] ZzyzxRoad@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apparently that's the misogynistic one, based on a whole series of posts on the front page at the moment and the hundreds of gross comments that have followed.

[–] myxi@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't get what's up with people nowadays throwing up the adjective "misogynistic" everywhere, when 80% of the time they're really not seeing something misogynistic, but rather some ideologically conservative crap.

[–] _lunar@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

conservative ideology is misogynistic

[–] myxi@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] _lunar@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

misogyny, as defined by webster, is "hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against women." we use the term to make it clear that this contempt and prejudice is against women specifically.

conservative ideology seeks to actively harm women who dare be anything more than servants to men. to have contempt for a group of people unless they're effectively enslaved is to have contempt for that group in general.

Ain't that some incel shieet

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not even true. She was literally on a ship that was examining the wreckage, so talking about it was relevant.

You can see the wreckage on the screen in the screenshot.

[–] ShustOne@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

But bro how am I supposed to virtue signal to my fellow misogynists if I have to take things like context into consideration?
