Jack and Rose – Titanic (1997)

Was there enough room for two on the wooden door? That is the eternal question that fans will ask. But it doesn’t make this romance any less memorable. The story of Jack and Rose has come to resemble the very definition of forbidden love. He, a poor artistic drifter with no real life plan; she, a moneyed aristocrat engaged to a wealthy upper class man. Feeling trapped in a life she did not want to live, Rose opted to find a way out, and fell for Jack, entering a cross-class relationship that was taboo to contemporaries. With her mother in one ear and her fiancé in the other, Rose was made to feel shame for loving such a scoundrel, but ultimately chose the path of love and passion. As the RMS Titanic collides with the iceberg, Rose and Jack’s relationship also takes a tragic turn. While Jack slowly drifted into the dark cold depths of the Atlantic Ocean, Rose lived to tell the romantic tale to her daughter and a crew of treasure hunters, fulfilling her promise to Jack to lead an extraordinary life.
