I do agree this is a very good movie; otherwise, it will not swept throughout the whole world. But, with the sentence that I quoted it from you; I have probably a very different point of view from many of others, which might be due to age. When I watched this movie, I enjoy the scene arrangement and art design, of cause the story as well; but, I do not touched with Jack's sacrifice for Rose when both of them floating in the iced cold ocean water.

My point of view might shock many people, but that shouldn't include the movie producer, who we can for sure is a very rational and smart person in investment and coordinating the business with very good taste of art. This can be describe to the movie director as well.

If I am Rose, of course, I will be very touched and sad for there is person willing to sacrifice their life for me. Think about what if you are "Jack". Why Jack do this? How they meet? What class of the room they stay differently on this ship? Jack in this movie is actually a homeless loafer, and Ross, a noble woman?

That sacrifice made me even feel horrible, thrill, and scary about the different classification in our human society. Jack represents those people, who live in the low class in the society; especially, that is Britain, a society with the most snobbish system in that era. His sacrifice is a symbol of acceptance of his fate. His fate of being low. It is not Love at all. I even felt sad and angry when I seeing his body sinking down to the dark, it is an acceptance of the fate. But, undeniable, we can say it is a well and perfectly designed scene that move everybody with different emotion and reason.

If you define that is love, I rather say it actually is the romantic fancy the director of the movie try to sell and it is very successful in the market as we can see. The movie was made by professionals to successfully sell this romantic and tragic story to make all female in this world believed they are the "Rose" and in the future of their lives will be a man to sacrifice his life for the sake of love for them.

Did you sacrifice your life for your wife? My husband didn't and I believe he will not, and is not going to. In real world and our real life, husband and wife always fight against each other for who did not wash dish after dinner. All because human's real life is truly ugly, then romance has the chance to put on market to sale for good price.

I, indeed, more touched by the profession of this movie's team work rather than touched by the romance sell.

Very different perspective from me. Enjoy.
