After weeks of living in the darkness, I got to see sun light today. My disturbed life cycle had completely turned me into a nocturnal being, when they decided to watch the first show of 'Titanic' this morning. So finally I broke the chain of sleeping late and getting up late and then sleeping late again. Where conviction didn't work, motive did.
So there I was watching, the girl in a huge hat approaching the ship. with a sleep deprived face. 'Titanic' has always been one of my favorites and 3D movies have been fascinating me. So you got the motive!!
If you thinking am writing another review on the movie. You are wrong. There are already so many. What I want to say is something else. Ever since I first watched the movie, I always wondered alternative possibilities. What if Rose had not jumped off the life boat, then Jack would have had the floating plank all to himself. And then they could have gone back to the other ship in the morning and got together. This was the only satisfactory reconstruction I could conjure up. Every time I saw it after that, I would wonder I wish it was the way I imagined. Why didn't she just do that? What did she gain out of the course of actions? What a shame, all the struggle was of no use.
Today I saw it in a different light. Had she done as I wanted her to, she would never had had it in her to defy Mr. Hockley and go ahead with Jack after the wreak was over. That it was not about their togetherness, it was about her life, her freedom, her happiness and his wishes. He wanted her to live a full life, the life she deserved. He desired nothing for himself. He was content and happy with what he had in his life, for however short duration it had been. Because life is not about quantity it is about quality.
