Have to agree with Rico. In fact, most people who hated "Titanic" found the "Rose" character too independent, self-confident, selfish and resourceful for a girl of her age, in her class, in the Edwardian age. Remember that it was Rose who decided not to get on a lifeboat when she had a chance, setting up the situation where Jack was forced to wait in the water. And she saved Jack from being handcuffed in the bowels of the ship, so his survival up to that point was solely a result of her bravery.I don't know anyone who hates Titanic because "Rose" was too weak!
Follow Ups:
She was British, though she ACTED independent. The man was an American, so we know that she relied on him greatly. Probably a parallel in that somewhere.But I digress. I think that she decided not to get on a lifeboat is less important than why she decided not to get on a lifeboat. Because of "her man." Why did she rescue him from the bowels of the ship? Because of "her man." She ACTED independent, but she needed "her man." (said in my best Southern accent)
And I did not hate Titanic.
Is a man who makes sacrifices to rescue "her woman" weak? Curious double standard there, usually adhered to by lesbian feminists.
