Love and disaster

In fact, when I first watched this movie, I was still young. I didn’t understand many scenes at that time, but I was very touched. It was not only the love between Jack and Ruth, but also the fearlessness of death when the shipwreck. The old couple, the band that does not interfere with the outside world, the man who was a fake father for his life, the woman who whistled for his lover... moved all of this.
Then when I watched the movie, I couldn't help thinking, if the Titanic didn't hit the iceberg and didn't sink, what would happen to Jack and Ruth? They come from different classes, and they have different education. If the Titanic is safely docked, can their love really overcome these obstacles? I don’t know the answer. I don’t know if anyone knows the answer.
Since then, I have understood that this is actually a poignant love made by disaster. But no matter what makes such a love, there is no denying that it is a love that is almost aesthetic.

  • Irish Little Boy: What are we doing, mommy?

    Irish Mommy: [lying to them to prevent them being scared and panicked] We're just waiting, dear. When they're finished putting first class people in the boat, they'll be starting with us. And we ought to be ready, oughtn't we?
