I'll Never Let (This) Go

they rereleased titanic in 3D. i watched the first release back when i was in high school.

despite my protests, my best friend at the time said she had to watch it. so there i was on valentine’s day weekend waiting in a long line for four hours. the movie was still selling out even though it had been out for months. this one lady in line (who saw it 4 times) would not stop talking about the movie. luckily somebody yelled at her to shut up. i remember feeling cold during most of the movie. maybe it was the sight of icebergs and the ocean. it was mostly likely due to the ac being on full blast (it’s february in san bruno. why was the ac on full blast?!)

there was one thing with the movie which really irked me. *spoiler alert* rose was the one who led jack to his expiration. she didn’t share the drift wood she was floating on (that jack found). there was enough space for both of them to rest on(she also let go of him. how many of you to this day still call her a liar whenever you here her say she’ll never let go? i know of at least 3 people who shouted this in the theater while watching the trailer for the 3D version).

that's what i thought for a very long time but then i read this. ok, fine. mathematically speaking it wasn’t possible for them to share. but rose is not off the hook. if jack had broken his promise and let go of her hand he could’ve swam and climbed on top of other floating objects and lived. but instead he kept his promise and became a frozen corpse which then became food for the fishes while rose lived on to throw thousand of dollars in jewels into the ocean.

gg jack dawson.
