of reality.
NGL It is a pretty good personification of feminine sexual maturation. The lead Rose is a headstrong woman but comes from poverty, she only has her youth and her beauty. More importantly, she is young, stupid and does not understand the world. Her mother however, who is old and is not with her father understands the brutalities of life, hence her grooming
She is bethrone to Caledon, who is a tyrannical but also rich and powerful man who can make life better for her and her mother, who is the one who poses to her. Caledon does not care about her, she is just sex and arm candy
During the movie, she is found to having an affair with Jack. Of course Jack is basically just a personification of her lack of maturation, he's basically porn. He's immature, pety criminal, he is also stupidly romantic but likeable and handsome. He ends up dying because he's incompetent and despite his 'love for her' cannot manifest change, and dies after saving Rose (Rose who would have been safe regardless have she had been with Caledon). In the end Rose is rejected by her bethroned, and then of course she loses it all.
Her love and her chance at a maybe miserable but fruitful future with Caledon is squashed as he now sees her as an immature whore, as a rich powerful man he can order up more 'Roses' whose only asset is youth + beauty. Jack is gone because all he had was his looks, his position in the hierarchy was low and he was essentially a fling, she knew him for about 3 days during the course of the movie.
So she ends up at the end of the movie retelling the story at 95, that despite being married and having many children, she remembers Jack and Caledon the most. Because it was all downhill from there. Her bonding hormone is fried, her reputation is ruined and she reaches the hill where her beauty fades
I don't think young women understand the meaning of that movie, it's not that love always wins, it is that there's sacrifices and concessions, and love doesn't consider them.
and I guess this is why it is the most famous movie of all time. The overly emotional theme song does a good job describing the state of "love" as a neurological concept, but not as a concrete and idealize goal, as there was nothing important or deep about the relationship between either of them
So it is a sad movie, not because Jack and Rose don't get together, ( tbh Rose would have dumped Jack after a month because he's just a deadbeat and stow away) but that the venn diagram of romantic experience for women very seldom matches 1-1.
And that love is just an illusion or exaltation of deep emotions which do not come together to form a future.
Rose's future was with some average cuck who was less handsome and had worse dick than Jack and was much lower M+S than Caledon
Amazing movie all in all. It's one of the deepest pieces of fiction ever made and has a place in our culture similar to Homer's Illiad
