MY HEART WILL GO ON...but what about Jack's?

TITANIC. (1996) I confess I'm not a fan. In my opinion, Cameron is a great technician, but a lousy writer. His dialog is laughable and his characters cliches. Maybe I'm becoming cynical in my old age but remember when Rose was floating on a door after the sinking, clutching poor Jack's hand? Did she insist they take turns lying on the door? Nah, not courageous Rose. What did she do instead? She promised him over and over, "I'll never let you go, Jack! I'll never let you go!" Then as soon as Jack dies, what does she do? She lets him go. Bye-bye, Jack, have a nice float to the bottom.

Then courageous Rose goes on and lives her life, all the while hiding the priceless Heart of the Ocean diamond necklace in a drawer. You think maybe her family could’ve used the money? Or, at the very least, she could’ve donated it to a museum. But not courageous Rose. Oh no, she keeps it to herself. Then decades later what does she do with it? First chance she gets, she drops it in the ocean with an "Oops!"

So, I confess that now days when I see the scene with Rose standing on the Titanic's bow, arms outstretched with Jack’s hands clutching her around the waist, all I can think is, "Go ahead, Jack, give her a shove!" Bye-bye, Rose, have a nice float to the bottom.
