I wanted one of them to ask her why’d she’s let Jack freeze to death when there was plenty of room on that door.

[@daedalus_20v]

It's not how much _room_ was on the door... it was the _buoyancy_ of the door (or lack thereof). Wood floats, yes, but it's not magic! The problem is the door didn't have enough buoyancy to hold both of them up at the same time, which defeats the purpose of him climbing aboard... they would both have presumably died instead of him alone. As it is, she barely survives because she's already soaking wet and freezing to death while waiting for rescue. While I think actually _showing_ this happening in the film would have been a better choice (the door sinking/capsizing and the two characters realize their dilemma), the logic still holds up - it's not the big plot hole everybody seems to think it is.

For those that don't know, there really is a deleted ending where they freak out on Rose about the necklace, and there is a really tense stand off about her throwing it in the ocean. It did in fact lead to disastrous test screenings, and that is why James was in on the joke, because he very nearly ruined one of the most successful films of all time.

I never thought that way. It was never really hers. Cal showed her the diamond and even put it around her neck, but he never actually GAVE it to her to keep. He kept it locked in his safe. And he never intended her to have it. He put it in his coat pocket when they were trying to leave the ship and he put the coat on Rose but forgot to take the diamond first.

[@VintageRose75]

In high school and college, I remember writing many papers for English classes. Often, after reading a novel, we would have to analyze the story, and what the author was trying to achieve. This is my take on it, and I have quite literally seen it dozens of times. First, of all, in real life, there is no way the necklace would have stayed in her pocket that long, after they landed in the water. Unless, it were tied somehow. And, in real life, she and the rest of the inner circle of the cast did not exist, and were a type of historical fiction characters. But, if Rose had brought recognition to the fact that she still had the diamond, she would have risked Cal (and her mother) knowing that she survived. She does state that Cal committed suicide almost 20 years later, after the stock market crashed. She would have been roughly 40 years old, and had probably carved out the best life she could after meeting Jack. Her mother would have been roughly sixty or seventy at that time. Why not bring it out after her mother might have passed and she herself was an older woman? Being how turned off she was to the idea of riches: not wanting to marry Cal, hated the societal restraints and norms, was not arrogant and proud, admired the personality traits of "poor" Jack, etc. she certainly would not sell it to bring upon herself more of what she hated. She wanted to remain the free spirit Jack had helped bring out in her. If she hated it that much, then why not anonymously give it to a charity or museum? If that had happened, it might take away from the wreck and it's most valuable loss--human life. When she spoke of the sinking, she had a great deal of sorrow and respect for the people who lost their lives. I think the reason she kept the diamond al those years, instead of just burying it somewhere, was because maybe it had come to represent to her, her love for those lost lives...but especially Jack. It was suppose to be a symbol of extravagant wealth from Cal. But, "The Heart of the Ocean" was a symbol of her heart's oceans of secret love. When she tossed it overboard, she was not just discarding it. It was a way for her to: honor her love for Jack, honor the other lives lost, etc., similar to when you put flowers on a grave. You could also say it was her way of "letting go", because she was ready to go be with Jack, since he said, "You'll die an old woman asleep in your bed...not here, not this night." The deep breath and sigh of relief and slight smile all reflected this, as you gather she is so proud of herself for keeping her promises to Jack. The symbolism is outstanding and incredible.

[@jerryn.1823]

Yes, Rose & Jack, Rose's mother and Jack's friends were all just fictional characters. But in my humble opinion the script for this Titanic movie is just a bad script. I just think that the real 1st class women passengers aboard the Titanic and the other passenger ships of that time period of 1912, would not have had any interest in starting a relationship with a poor guy in steerage. Then James Cameron had his fictional character Rose based on a real life woman named Beatrice Wood who was a young woman at the time of the Titanic's tragic maiden voyage but she had nothing to do with the Titanic. There are much better movies about the Titanic out there like A Night to Remember which was first released in 1958.

[@FBI.Open.Up.]

He titanic ahs some plot holes Why was the necklace called the heart of the ocean? She could've bought another one and used thr riches to help poor kids or her grandkids. Without alerting Cal or her mother that she survived. And bought a cheaper heart of the ocean that she let go in the water, when she was ready to let go and fulfilled her promise to Jack

[@usmanalvi-awan7817]

RIP Bill Paxton.

[@anthonycobuccio6841]

Cheri O'Teri looks like Martin Short in this

[@RSEFX]

Yes, she does! I wondered if anyone else thought that. ;-)

[@dreamercross]

@@RSEFX scrolled through the comments just to see if it's martin short

[@jaushuagray4640]

People getting angry : This came out in 1997 / 1998 . Context folks

[@captaincrunch8333]

Yes, those were the days.. I miss them mightily. When we took our anger out on the aged. Why else would they stick around? Certainly not to enjoy themselves? ;()

[@cavalierdecoupe]

Elderly abuse disguised as comedy for big audiences. Evil. "pretty cool to beat up an old woman" Shame on you Jim for taking part of this.

[@EverB063]

I'm dead...even the granddaughter was mad & kicking her

[@shariemorgan1140]

Lmfaooooo 🤣. He smacked her upside her head like my mother used to do me😂

[@StefanSaba]

Lol God bless Bill Paxton giving 110% in this sketch

[@kneeman66]

Very few people know the alternate ending to the real Titanic movie when she winds up marrying Jack in front of everyone, he gets pissed off when he finds out she threw the stone away and ditches her for someone younger and thinner

[@aarondigby9859]

Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, this when I made sure i watched SNL and would leave my shift when it was over and go straight home to see SNL live instead of rerun, but I'd binge still the same, I remember when they all Molly and Cheri were new.

[@checynhadi2815]

Riiight the alternate ending made by you.

[@DavidLS1]

If you're too young to remember, Merrill Stubing was the captain of the Love Boat.

[@baboona2326]

I remember Sheri Oteri playing this same character with Julianne Moore as the host of SNL. I would love to see that clip.

[@jonathanjonzz975]

James Cameron, the last man on earth with a sense of humor, I salute you :). To all the people not amused by this, ITS COMEDY!!! Any adult knows you don't beat up elderly people (or any one if we are really being honest) but the absurdity of of an elderly person being treated like that is hilarious.

[@maranatha_777]

Well, I´m a geriatric nurse and I saw families abusing their elders, so this really is not funny for me. But I don´t see any fun in watching anyone being beaten, child, adults, animals. Even comedy has its limits.

[@sakandax2340]

Michaela Eirelover nurses are the worst

[@thatmanckid]

Michaela Eirelover This is the thing, it doesn't. The ideal of comedy cannot behold limitation, as it itself does not attain to limit or not. The way in which you receive comedy may push your own idea of limits, the level of it that you see as acceptable or non-acceptable, but comedy itself is basically an unfinished paint job on a picket fence. It becomes and stays as nothing. It's impartial, it has no effect on anything unless you the viewer, you the receiver choose to splash that last lick of creamy white and give it meaning, give it purpose. The fact you are offended means you chose to perceive this as some sort of reality, instead of the reality in which is actually lies which is; a multitude of actors on a set somewhere in LA, probably, just doing their job, pretending to hit a woman who has dressed up as elderly for the sake of comic relief. Use this as your new agenda when reading the news, watching other KZbin videos or even simply just going outside.

[@allentsai9083]

James Hodson I'm mostly just offended by how unfunny this is. Comedy and offensiveness do not have to go hand in hand. It seems like this skit just took the idea of adults beating up an old lady and relied on the shock value to carry across the humor, something that SNL does all the time, it seems. There is no clever spin or twist to this video. How disappointing.

[@thatmanckid]

***** I know I agree, I haven't laughed at anything SNL have done since like the Oteri plus 2 of the 90s, and the only resounding success of the past like even 2 years has been getting Kyle Mooney on as a recurring cast member I agree with the whole hinging on it's one action shot, replayed over and over to become the skit's USP. To be honest, I just agree

[@Titan52berg]

This sketch is included on the Special Edition BluRay. On the triple-disc DVD edition a few years ago, it was one of the 'hidden Easter eggs.'

[@Damar158]

"I think one of my ribs is broken..." "This one?" *proceeds to gutpunch her three times*

[@titanic..freackk923]

OMG THIS IS AMAZING?? AND THEY ALL LOOK SO ALIKE THOUGH

[@RedPlusTV]

Thanks for SNL always come up with genius videos :-) thumb

[@christianmartinezsolis2894]

Now I cannot watch movie without thinking Rose's granddaughter worked at Pizza Hut

[@diontaedaughtry974]

"Crapathon" and the 2x4 threat 😂🤣😂😭

[@ritparent7239]

At 3:40 when she said "I just wanted to ride in a helicopter before I died..." they should have cut to a helicopter pitching a dummy dressed as Rose into the ocean. I'll wait for your call, Lorne.

[@goodrich2424]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@pf5658]

Best part was see the real JC himself at the end. Totally didn’t expect that.

[@michaeldepinto3562]

I would have given this ending a Standing Ovation lol

[@NYKLOGISTIK]

All the gen z who cant take a joke. This is slapstick humor at its finest.

[@thibod07]

No wonder SNL is the best! Having James Cameron commenting on the film ending is more precious than the heart necklace! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Anfubvinch]

OK, I feel like everyone needs to calm down a bit. OK, it wasn't even that funny of a bit and they should have made it shorter. But Cheri Oteri was great in this (she's not an actual granny as you may have found out) and I did feel that the old lady in Titanic was a bit annoying. And it is quite funny when you think about this, because Paxton plays some kind of treasure hunter and he still listens to her three-hour story only to learn that the Heart of the Ocean was lost forever, when you think about it, his reaction in the bit may have been more realistic than the one he had in the movie.

[@msrainbowbrite]

R.I.P Bill Paxton

[@johnmiller5679]

What has always been messed up about that movie is she says the love of her life was some grifter she knew for a couple of days over 80 years ago and not her husband whose granddaughter is there.

[@schmactor]

Bill Paxton went full Chet in this sketch.

[@MisterGoofy]

sarcastic humor is not meant to be nice and cheerful guys, deal with it ... and it is just a parody with actors ...

[@metalgrinch]

Why so many dislikes? This is HYSTERICAL! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂

[@kingdongmclong9795]

R.I.P. Bill Paxton!! Game Never Over Man!!!!! Game Never Over!!!! Live on in our hearts through our DVD/BluRay/Netflix collection............

[@gloriapinskerportraits4801]

Who remembers the alternate ending to "It's a Wonderful Life"? The best!!!

[@johnroe643]

I loved it. Potter you can walk. your nothing but a fraud. Mary Joseph hold him down while work him over

[@khanhdoattitude]

When did an old woman getting hit out of greed become a punch line?

[@mansgottaeat8879]

do you moonlight as a ts

[@bradpirochta9293]

Cheri Oteri, THE most underrated SNL cast member ever.

[@paulgerhardt6499]

The character Rose was the perfect example of selfishness hogged the wooden door/ head board so Jack froze to death enjoyed her life kept the diamond hidden from her family then what. She was about to die tossed it in the ocean instead of giving to hers grand daughter/family

[@sauronindian6169]

lol when they start beating rose i died laughing

[@carolrondou6161]

This never gets old

[@onlyvincesantos]

“And Bob Seger was NOT on the Titanic!” 💀

[@kdohertygizbur]

The smack was perfect when he said that

[@notsure1277]

Hahaha. Hilarious! "Have you ever seen such cruelty?"

[@alyssajean2327]

Lmao just hearing the slap killed me...😂😂😂

[@hedwigkiesler]

Though this one is far from perfect, "hack romance novel crap-athon" is a pretty accurate description of the movie.
