Jack Dawson - Tumblr Posts
One movie I’ll defend till my dying days is the Titanic. Nothing can make me hate it, it’s literally my all time favorite movie and I could spend hours talking about it.
That leads me to my next point, IF ANYONE BELIEVES THAT JACK CAN FIT ON THE DOOR FRAME (it was a door frame not a door, literally one look at it and you would know that) IS STUPID!!!
Firstly, do you people just forget logic, physics, BUOYANCY?! Secondly, one bird’s eye view of that door frame you would know you wouldn’t be able to fit another person. Thirdly, THE LITERAL DIRECTOR, JAMES CAMERON, HAS PROVEN THAT JACK WOULDN’T HAVE FIT!!
You all just sound so stupid and wrong when you try to prove that he could when he obviously couldn’t. Also not to mention when Jack first brought Rose over to the frame, he tried to get on it, I don’t know if it’s because people miss it or ignore it but it’s there, he tried to get on but the frame started to sink and they both couldn’t get on it. Another thing, and this may just because I love the movie and the story too much, but Jack had to die, it’s literally the whole point of the movie. So even if he could fit, it changes the whole movie.
I could rant more but this is already too long, so if you actually read this, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Don’t even try to tell me Jack could fit because he couldn’t!
I really like this and I don't know how to feel
and no one knew, charlie went on to become jack from the titanic..
A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me…in every way that a person can be saved. I don’t even have a picture of him. He exists now only in my memory. TITANIC (1997) dir. James Cameron
And I also have way too many characters and people I would write about 😭
There are so many I can’t even tag them all cause I can only add 30 tags 😭
I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or, who I’m gonna meet, where I’m gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you, to make each day count.
Jack, Titanic (1997)
Leonardo DiCaprio you’re the love of my life.
THEY KILLED MY SON AND I WILL NEVER RECOVER
I just watched Titanic for the first time :)
Why'd they do my boy Fabrizio like that :(
The idea that Brad Pitt was originally like a "pretty boy" type similar to Leo DiCaprio (Titanic and R+J) is fucking hilarious to me, like what do you M E A N Tyler Durden is in a movie about fly fishing and emotions??
For the record as well,
There's a reason why it's Jack who dies instead of Rose (besides the point that she's the protagonist) and that is that Jack is the poor one in their relationship.
The whole thing about the Titanic, both the movie and the actual tragedy, is that it's about class. It's about how higher class people get to live every time while poor people need to beg and fight and play dirty to survive (just like the high class people, with the only difference that poor people are punished for it).
Jack had to die because he represents the poor people in the Titanic, the one who were barred from accessing deck until it was no longer possible, the ones who were treated like dogs being waken in the middle of the night while upper class got the calm polite treatment, the ones who didn't have the right to live.
So yeah, I'm gonna cry on my bed now
For the record.
The reason why Jack does not survive, regardless of wether he could fit or not, is that Jack represents the victims of the Titanic and everything that was lost.
While Rose represents the survivors who somehow made it and got to tell the tale.
In the end, all the survivors of the Titanic lost something that day, which they could never recover. May it be friends, family, lovers or the life they had before, it's something that sunk with the Titanic and they would never recover.
It's the irony that a cold, useless piece of rock survives, but the bright, warm soul full of potential perishes.
I need some help
So, I just re-watched Titanic and I wanted to know if any kind souls have good recommendations of fanfics, books, films or maybe just a Pinterest-Aesthetic name for whatever vibe Jack and Rose fit into???
Like that thing where the girl feels trapped in her situation and the cute love interest is this free spirit, boyish person, but like... It has to have the same vibe, you know???? YK??????
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO !!!
