To set her family up in that way as one of her last acts would have negated her whole post-Jack life.


He was a bum who she had like 6 hours worth of conversation with. Do you have any idea how many of us have hit it off with someone after 6 hours and then for it to go south quickly after that? What did she really know about Jack? He could have easily had a deal breaker with her that would take weeks or months to get out of him. For all she knows he lied about everything (save for the painting). Certainly not enough to overcome a husband and kids.

Y'all realize that Bill Paxton is almost certianly going to find the diamond, right? I mean, he's not going to stop searching the titanic wreckage for some salvage just to meet some of his expenses, even if he believes the diamond is gone. And once they go searching again, the diamond is going to be on top of all the sediment. It'll be easy to find.



It's possible he'll find it, but that diamond is light enough to be significantly influenced by the current. It's not like she dropped the thing on the Moon where nothing can disturb it. Could be many of hundreds of yards away from the Titanic.

Agree on Rose.


And don't even get me started on her Gumpness, Jenny, from Forrest Gump.

The Titanic is lying at about 12,500' below the surface

The Heart of the Ocean was 171 carats (34.2g)

The North Atlantic current moves at about 0.2 knots

This is a little too far. I don't see how she premeditated killing Jack.

That said, she sucks.

She uses Jack to get back at Zane and her mother, uses him to save her life and then drops the damn diamond into the ocean.

Zane got caught in the middle of a mother-daughter power battle and Jack lost his life for a piece of tail.

Go back and watch. They did "try". But it was half-assed.

That's not very fair. Jack pursued Rose more than vice versa. Moreover, Rose's life was saved. Indeed, she risked hers to save his, and she did it first. The one thing Rose did that was truly wrong was jumping off the lifeboat to stay with Jack on the Titanic. He may have had a better chance of surviving if he had thrown her back, but he probably still would have died. Most did. OTOH, he may have survived as long as he did only because he was trying to keep her alive. No one can say.

Most importantly, Jack made his own decisions every step of the way. Everyone who thinks Rose is a count seems to be oblivious to this.

They knew each for 48 hours. How many chicks have you had friendly relationships and hook ups with that you'd forsake your entire family for?

These two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

Except that required them to tie the life jacket onto the bottom of the door to increase buoyancy. Something that most people would not think to do in a crisis situation. The Mythbusters were in California making deliberate attempt to disprove the movie, not the subfreezing North Atlantic after a massive calamity.

He thinks that Rose should have ended up with Cal (Zane's Character) at the end.


Was that before or after he tried to shoot her with his boys pistol?
