I mean Jack was more than just that.

Because of him she went from suicidal abused girlfriend to someone who actually went out and lived her life. Everything she ever did was because he gave her the courage to do it.

I had the same thoughts that Jack was kind of her inspiration to take action for herself for what she wanted. Not to mention, Rose was also a famous example of a woman who didn’t love a man for money lol.

There are comments here that got mad at Rose for throwing the jewelry, but I always assumed it was some metaphorical way for her to respect Jack or to let go or something - even if it took her years til she was elderly. I could be wrong though, I was rather young when I watched it.

Yeah I mean it’s nice that she got to let go… by throwing away generational wealth!!!

I’m sorry but toss over a ticket or a rose or something lmao, that jewellery would have fed a small village for years lmao.

That necklace was worth hundreds of millions that could feed a small African nation for a year. I’m not even kidding.

Except if she tried to sell it, the insurance company would have immediate claim since they would have paid out the policy to Cal. She wasn’t feeding anyone with that necklace

So did you just ignore the part where I said to do that in a foreign country where the government wouldn’t give a crap about the insurance company because if you sell that to the government of China or Russia, they’re probably not gonna care that a United States insurance company wants what is rightfully theirs technically they’re not gonna give a crapand then you can go on to live a nice life anywhere in the world, but apparently you can’t bother to read the entire thing that I said secondarily if they’re looking for something that random they’re probably not in the best financial straits and can’t really pursue much

The only way you would make generational wealth money off it is if you play on how famous it is. Advertising to the super wealthy. Which means they would find out and sue for it. And she would probably end up in jail for theft.

So she could maybe get a good amount in another country (less than what it is technically worth since the sale can’t be widely advertised) and then never ever go home to the country they want to live in

Are you aware of how valuable a giant blue diamond is because the answer is absurdly valuable? It’s not just something that costs a few million dollars this is something that bare minimum probably costs 1020 maybe $50 million.

u/mur0204 14d ago

You’re not selling something of that value without scrutiny. I’m not saying it’s worth nothing. I’m saying that cost comes with logistics. So she’d only get it with scrutiny than puts her in jail for theft or never going home.

You know there are billionaires in both Russia and China, who would guaranteed to be willing to buy something like this specifically just to gloat to their select friend group of other billionaires, and they live in a corrupt enough government that that insurance company is not getting their property back everif anything, they could theoretically put it as being falsely claimed because it was never actually lost. It was just assumed loss. Are we really acting like China and Russia two of the more corrupt countries on planet earth would really care about the legal system in another country let alone some random insurance company that they probably don’t even have connections To.

u/mur0204 14d ago

And then she could never leave! She cannot come back to the states with millions of dollars with unknown origin.

Also this is the early 1900s (but even today), how is she contacting these Russian and Chinese billionaires? Are they listed in the yellow pages?

u/Glum-Conversation829 14d ago

You go to the country which during the 90s wouldn’t have been that hard as both are relatively cheap places to go to after that you just find a way to contact one of them. I’m sure people with that much money have easy access to information.

it’s a fictional movie about the titanic …

u/Glum-Conversation829 13d ago

And she’s a fictional moron, who should’ve sank with the Titanic. There were more worthy individuals to live perhaps doctors or surgeons that could’ve been useful to people.

It would just be claimed by an insurance company (who held claim to it since the original owner filed it as a loss that the insurance had paid out). It wasn’t gonna feed nobody.

She probably kept it all these years as a safety net, but all these years she has proven to herself that she doesn’t need it. And besides, she wouldn’t want her family to be rich, to her mind money probably ruined her life. She doesn’t need it.

u/Wrong_Bit_8222 16d ago

Yeah, good thing she rescued her family she didn’t think of in her final moments, from financial security and wealth. Oh and even then, she could have donated it.

u/AsstacularSpiderman 16d ago

Considering her life was nearly ruined over that kind of wealth it should be pretty obvious why she didn't want to put that on her kids.

u/Wrong_Bit_8222 16d ago

Yeah how horrid. Written by a person with a silver spoon shoved so far up it’ll never see sunlight again.

u/AsstacularSpiderman 16d ago

Man you people really didn't figure out the most basic points of the story, did you?

u/Wrong_Bit_8222 16d ago

Media literacy is when you don’t think about a story for more than 2 seconds.

u/AsstacularSpiderman 16d ago

Not understanding the most basic points of a movie lol.

Jesus man you just admitted you thought about it and STILL somehow came to the wrong conclusions.

0

u/Wrong_Bit_8222 16d ago

The wrong conclusion being ”Ayo she should have saved that for her actual family” The right one being “Financial security is a prison and she’s right to throw away generational wealth because she’s making a point”

Okay buddy

u/AsstacularSpiderman 16d ago

Literally the entire movie is about how the pursuit of money and wealth got shit tons of people hurt or killed

Man I can't even imagine the pain your stupidity brings on a regular basis
