Do you remember that scintillating famous love movie? TITANIC!
“I’ll never let go, Jack,” Rose (Kate Winslet) whispers as she drops Jack’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) lifeless corpse into the ice-cold Atlantic after the Titanic sinks. By this point in James Cameron’s sweeping saga from 1997, viewers everywhere have usually been reduced to tears, having followed
the story of these crazy teens—she from the first class; he from steerage—who found true love aboard the great ocean liner.

Financial security isn’t all it’s cracked up to be when you’re married to a pompous asshole. Not all women are looking for that, either. Clearly, the free-spirited Rose wasn’t so close-minded in her thinking that she refused to consider the idea of finding love outside her social class. Does Billy Zane still live in 1912?
Did he want Rose to commit suicide by jumping off the ship like she’s considering doing before Jack stops her? Hold up: Has Billy Zane ever actually watched Titanic? We might need to arrange a viewing party.
