Titanic. The ending recontextualises everything and I'm still talking about it

I really thought they were going to clutch it at the last second tbh

can you talk about it some more? i didn't think this movie was difficult

There are multiple lenses and been through many of them at different points in my life. I really did not like it when it first came out, but then came to understand the romantic fantasy from a young woman's perspective, and then the class aspects about how the upper classes vampire the vitality, dynamism, and culture of the lower classes to rejuvenate themselves, etc etc.

I'm not sure I would say I even like the movie yet, but I have talked a lot about it with friends and partners over the decades. So I guess it's a good movie to talk about

Care to elaborate? It's pretty straight forward to me.
