Nothing on earth could come between them...
A love so strong, nothing could break it
Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio)is a third class passenger
who wins his ticket to Titanic in a lucky round of poker.
Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is a first class
passenger, engaged to the proud and obnoxious Cal
Hockley. The family deeply needs the money that will be
provided by Hockley in marriage since he was heir to a
wealthy estate. Hockley is very unkind and abusive towards
Rose.
Jack and Rose meet as Rose threatens to throw
herself off the Titanic, after her grim realization of
her life to come. She explains, "I saw my life as if I
had already lived it. An endless parade of parties and
polo matches, always the same narrow people..."
Jack, however is a penniless free spirited artist who
captures Rose's heart. From then on their love blossoms, to
a love so true they are willing to risk their lives for one
another. Jack made a sketch of Rose with a mystical
diamond that Hockley had given her. This was later
recovered by the explorers looking for the Heart of the
Ocean diamond that had been worn by Louis XIV. The
diamonds whereabouts were never revealed to the explorers.
The diamond would have been worth millions. The diamond
was a very rare blue diamond which is very precious. Jack is
shown here talking to Rose about some of his sketches.
As fate would have it, Titanic strikes an iceberg
hundreds of miles at sea causing pandemonium
aboard. The seaman tried their best to turn Titanic,
but the force was too great. Five of the ships
chambers had began to fill with water spelling the
doom of the Titanic.
The water rushed into the Titanic forcing the first
class women and children to evacuate the boat first.
Second and third class people were held in caged
hallways. Rose chose to stay with Jack and to get
off with him. They were not able to get into a
lifeboat. The ship sank diffusing its passengers into
the icy Atlantic waters. Their trust was only but in
God. Everyone has life preservers on, causing them
not to drown. The water was freezing cold with
hundreds of people in the water.
Jack was able to get Rose onto what appeared to be a floating
board in this scene. Death was slowly creeping up on all of the
people in the water. All but six including Jack perished that night
in the icy waters. Rose survived. Their love never was broken.
Jack gave his life to spare Rose. The lifeboats stayed out at sea
except for one that found Rose and saved her.
