Titanic
Titanic was a blockbuster hit based on actual events.
1. Rose had become engaged to a man. She skipped out on an event with him and gone to steerage and spent time with another man.
2. Rose had an extramarital affair with a man she had just met, in spite of being engaged to another man. The movie purposely leads the viewer to think the affair was justified. They create sympathy for Rose as a poor rich girl with expectations that don't allow her to be "free". The audience is led to think that she was right to ignore the promise of marriage. Her fiance was right to be very angry with her. He had every right to actually expect her to behave with honor.
3. Jack refused to be tied down. If they had stayed together, eventually Jack would have left Rose to be able to be "free" of responsibility. A wife and children would have hampered his style of being able to do anything he wanted, whenever he wanted.
4. An insurance company had paid for the necklace as if it had actually been lost with the titanic. The fact that Rose kept the necklace when she knew insurance had paid on the claim, is illegal. In fact it is called insurance fraud. She had no right to throw it into the ocean years later. If she had any honor, she would have contacted the insurance company and turned it in to them.
5. She married a man, had children with him, grandchildren with him. In fact she had spent probably 50 years of her life with him, going through the trials of life. He loved their children, raised them, held her hand as she delivered the children and when she dies, she wants to be with a man that she had a one night stand with? Yet the movie purposely tries to show that the one night stand relationship was of an eternal nature, but the 50 year relationship was appropriate to be dismissed as nothing.
