-1997-: Titanic

At the first-class dinner, Jack wears a borrowed tuxedo. He faces cruel stares, but he charms everyone with raw honesty: “I have nothing to lose. I’ve got ten bucks in my pocket. I’ve slept under bridges. And I’ve seen the Atlantic from a cargo ship’s bow. That’s more real than any of this silverware.”

Touched and confused, Rose lets him pull her back. She slips – and he catches her. At that moment, a ship’s officer arrives and mistakes Jack for an attacker. Cal appears, furious, but Rose lies: “I was looking over the edge. I slipped. He saved me.” Titanic -1997-

They flee from Cal’s valet, Lovejoy, who has followed them. They end up inside a locked Renault car in the cargo hold. There, fogging the windows, they make love. Afterward, Rose whispers: “When the ship sinks, I will never let go.” April 14, 11:40 PM. The lookout cries: “Iceberg, right ahead!” Too late. The ship’s steel belly is torn open below the waterline.

In the black Atlantic, Jack finds a floating wooden panel – but it supports only one. He puts Rose on it, his hands gripping the edge, his body freezing in the water. I’ve slept under bridges

That night, alone on the deck, Rose unclasps the necklace (she retrieved it from Cal’s coat before he boarded the lifeboat) and drops it into the sea – back to Jack.

She runs through rising water, finds Jack, and fights to free him. With an axe, she chops the chain. Together, they race upward as the Titanic groans. The ship tilts steeper. Chaos. Cal and Jack fight over Rose. Cal finally puts Rose into a lifeboat – but he lies, telling her he has arranged a spot for Jack. As the boat lowers, Rose sees Jack still trapped below. She climbs back out. Cal, enraged, grabs a pistol and chases them through the flooding first-class dining room.

And the screen goes to white.
