Did any of you feel sorry for Rose's husband in the "Titanic" movie?

She was married but in the end she was with Leonardo D'capio's (sp?) character in heaven.

Does this mean her husband is sitting in heaven alone?

I felt sorry for myself because I had to endure watching that friggin movie.

My favorite part:
"Don't ever let go, Rose, don't ever let go!"

<he dies>

&quot;boohoo&quot;

<she lets him go>

I don't think she was dead at the end. Just dreaming.

I can't believe I replied to this.

I don't think he was her husband yet, they were just engaged weren't they?

Either way, no sympathy from me for that guy.

You know......she was never married to that first guy, just engaged. The engagement arranged by her mother for financial gain. Rose so hated the idea of marrying the snob that she almost committed suicide in the movie.....by almost jumping off the stern of the boat. Of course, Jack (DiCaprio) saved her from that fate.

No he is talking about the husband we never met. The grandfather to the blond woman (her granddaughter).

Still say she was just dreaming and not in heaven.

Yes, she didn't marry the rich guy in the movie but she was married once because she had a granddaughter. Rose said she never mentioned Jack to her husband because &quot;a woman's heart is deep and mysterious&quot; or something like that.

Nope. I still think she should have left the necklace and threw herself in instead on the other way around.

Do you think that both men (Jack and Rose's husband) get to be with a &quot;version&quot; of Rose in heaven? And I guess since Jack was Rose's true love, Rose's vision of heaven will be with Jack?

In other words, is there a &quot;personal&quot; heaven for everyone?

Or is it one big orgy of love?

I think Heaven is different from life on earth, not just like being alive without the bill payments or bad hair days. That's why you should strive to enjoy your time here today, it is fleeting.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw her go to jack when she died, or dreamt, whatever.

I mean, they knew each other for how long? She was married to her husband for many, many years, yet she goes back to this foolish love she had when she was a teen?

Please. This is why movies surrounding the ever fickle idea of love annoy me.

Yes, I believe there is. Depending on whether or not you were buried or cremated, your own personal heaven may closely resemble a lump of wood surrounded by dirt, or a jar, respectively. Seeing as how, more than likely, this space will be your own (at least for a few feet until some unknown decides to impose his non-existence in your space), it's quite personal :)

I think heaven is simply the gift of ignorance given to all those who are dead. We spend all our lives looking for some profound reason for our existence, yet when we're faced with the true reality of our lives, we're unable to acknowledge it.

WTF? I don't remember her dying or dreaming and running to DiCaprio! And i saw the movie in both the theatres and on tape. All i remember the ending as is she drops the necklace in the water, and then they do a pan shot of photos of her life after the Titanic.

And what's wrong with the movie? I thought it was great!

Billy Zane was the guy who played your fiancee (sp?) and he also was the Phantom in the movie of the same name.

But he wasn't the husband. He never married Rose. We never got to see Rose's husband -- he was only mentioned briefly in the movie.
