Titanic

Why didnt they just share the out of water bit? I dont understand why she let him freeze to death if she loved him? Can someone PLEASE explain?

Because the film wouldn't have sold as well as it did.
The door wouldn't have been able to support both of them

Why didnt they take turns then?

When they say love conquers all, they don't mean it literally. She's not god - she can't control life and death, especially when all she has is "love" (read: infatuation) by her side. Emotions can't save you from hypothermia.

Poetic effect for the film.

And it's also just impractical. they'd both die from hypothermia !

There's a Myth Busters episode on this.

They could both have survived.

Edit:

They could both have survived and been much more comfortable if they tied Roses life jacket under the door for added buoyancy.

What I want to know is how well it would've sold if Rose had died instead of Jack. I'm guessing box office flop, with Jack being an ******* for not sacraficing his life for Rose...

Ah society.
Because he was 3rd class.
Door wasn't big enough for both of them.

I say that because it's true. Plus, HISHE (how it should have ended) did one on titanic which referenced the fact that if Jack doesn't sacrafice himself for Rose he'll be an ******* in the eyes of everyone else. Rose essentially killed him when she jumped off the lifeboat onto a sinking ship just to be with Jack; giving him no chance to find another life boat.

It's obviously seen as a romantic tragedy since Jack died, but I don't think the same would've happened if Rose let Jack float on that debris. Taking turns didn't cross her mind either... :rolleyes:

It's been a while since I watched the film but I seem to remember that Jack tried to get on but the door wasn't strong enough so he put Rose's well-being before his own.

EDIT:
Should've read the discussion first
:K: now that I know this I'm even more outraged at Jack's death.
