Anyone whose seen it knows where it’s from. It’s the final scene from James Cameron’s Titanic in which Rose throws the infamous jewel into the ocean.
Man it's been over 25 years since I watched Titanic; 95% of the memory I retained of that film is boobs and the other 5% was actually Thumbtanic. I dunno how you expect anyone to instantly recall this scene from a single frame unless you were one of those hardcore fans who saw it nine times in the cinema.
😂 I guess I’m some movie savant that remembers all the frames even though I haven’t seen the movie since 2003
See, that's where it all falls over.
How so? It was the highest grossing film for 11 years straight, starting in 1997. Only been surpassed by Avatar 1/2 and Avengers Endgame. Pretty well known film.
Doesn't mean everyone's seen it. 1997 was over a generation ago, the "kids" conceived in those screenings have careers and acid reflux now
I watch movies every week and I haven't seen any of those movies. Your basic-ass experiences are not universal.
I saw the movie and had no idea. Although it was well over twenty years ago and I was more interested in the gal I was sitting next to than the movie.
If you want a recap here's a nice summary of the important bits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saZcHBY5vyI
Haha, oh man, I forgot how much I missed these, thank you!
Nah i've seen it atleast twice and it took me a while to have guessed titanic. Still needed the comments to confirm it. Can't remember jewel being thrown away at all
Exactly the same as me. The film's 30 years old, and I've definitely seen it, but probably not in the last 20 years or more. I just about recognised it was Rose but haven't got a fucking scooby what she does at the end of the film. I thought it ended with her sat on the piece of wood watching Jack sink.
Watched it a couple months ago with my wife. She drops the jewel into the ocean above the wreckage, then goes back home, where we see a bunch of pictures across her dresser showing that she had an adventurous and fulfilling life, inspired by Jack's last words to her.
That explains it. I’ve never had any desire to see that movie, and thus I never have.
For GenX / Xennials we grew up with a plethora of shitty ass movies not worth your time or headspace. No electronic devices, thus you’re subjected to that crap during social encounters. Multiple video rental stores in every town containing so much garbage, friends and relatives constantly naming it as the pinnacle of entertainment.
Given choices, later, as an adult, most so called popular or romantic crap is then easily avoided. Or you just read a book on your phone instead. What I would’ve given in my teens to have a slim little book holding device no one questions in my pocket.
Never bought the hype or music for Titanic. Thanks for ID-ing this photo.
Give it a shot it’s a good film. Considering it was filmed in 1997 the visuals still hold up pretty well and the writing is pretty good, especially by today’s standards.
I prefer things more like Amelie for romantic comedy. And old school 5hr 90s versions of Pride & Prejudice for straight romance. Besides, now you’re telling me not only does the ship sink and romance not win out, but she drops the one bright spot, future financial security for her family, in the ocean. Why would I watch that?
That, and I’ve never been a DiCaprio fan. Winslet is cool though.
I mean the jewel represented way more than just financial security. I would say her reasoning to dump it is pretty valid. It also means that romance absolutely won out.
When I was a kid I thought it was dumb but kids are kinda dumb ngl
For people that have been there it kind of makes sense. The jewel represented the man that was her abuser. He wanted to keep her locked up in a cage. Her dumping the jewel was her catharsis that she was free. Free to make her own choices.
