Okay we were discussing the movie "Titanic" which I am sure you ALL have seen almost 20 (!) yrs. ago. (Has it really been that long??)
Anyway, I told her the ending where the old lady, Rose, laid down in the bed and then the audience was shown her ascending the grand staircase where she eventually ended up with Jack again was her entering Heaven. I believe she threw the necklace in the ocean for closure, then died peacefully. What we see as the audience is her entering Heaven where she has her young body again and everyone is together regardless of their social class. What we see of the deceased passengers we never saw in the actual movie since people were separated by class. But in Heaven, there is no class...Everyone is equal. My Sister however disagrees. She said the ending was just the old lady falling asleep and dreaming. How did you guys take the ending?? Thx. |

I have never put any thought into this until now.
Based on what you wrote, I side with heaven. |

| Yes, she was reunited with Jack in death. Didn't they promise to always love each other or some such drivel? |

YES she chucked the necklace over the side of the ship (wearing her night dress) and went to bed in peace and died, turning back into young rose to meet jack on the ship with all their dead friends

| Yep, she definitely died and was reunited with Jack. Of course if she had just slide over a bit on that piece of driftwood in the first place... |

You're both right.
From Wikipedia: Winslet and Stuart stated their belief that the character dies at the end of the film, while Cameron states in his DVD commentary that he prefers to leave the viewers to form their own interpretation of the ending. So, the ending is whatever you interpret it to be. |
