And the plank...Well, didn't Jack try to get on? And the plank almost capsized? I could swear I remember that, but it's been a long time.<br /><br />Anyway, a plank like that wouldn't have had the buoyancy to keep two people completely out of the water. Consider the size of a wooden raft designed to hold just one person completely out of the water. There are smaller rafts, but they're for floating around with wet feet. They'd have died of cold on a raft like that. Or they'd have needed to amputate their feet. If they had the strength to stand. Which they didn't.<br /><br />Really , that's the thing that made that scene stupid for me. Consider: when people get too cold to shout, it's because their lungs get so cold that they have trouble simply breathing. Someone in that condition shouldn't be able to swim, but she goes right up to Officer Whistle in the freezing water.<br /><br />But Rose didn't leave Jack to die, Jack sacrificed himself to save her. If anyone's stupid there, it's Jack. But Rose is still a selfish bitch, for other reasons.<br /><br />For one, she throws the Heart of the Ocean away, when that historian-treasure-hunter guy has been searching for it for THREE YEARS and she's going to die in two hours anyway. This is his LIFE! Just let him have it!<br /><br />Secondly, her husband's fifty years of love and support between the Titanic and telling her little story to the treasure hunter? Yeah, I get the feeling that didn't matter all that much compared to her hot, sweaty time with her lower-class pretty-boy. Over fifty years, this would have manifested in dozens of ways that her husband would have picked up on, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210497712673289782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971112772182645722.post-40445438998860935472012-05-25T12:38:47.651-07:002012-05-25T12:38:47.651-07:00You are SO right!

I am SO with you on every point, but he is srsly into them! I'm not going to speculate on why, because I'm sure it's indicative of things I'd rather not dwell on right now.Wendy Von Birdhausenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053575004017767311noreply@blogger.com
