I always love it when people refer to “this ending” or “this scene” as if everyone is supposed to know what this blurry still is supposed to be from. Even if it was a video, that still doesn’t tell me what it’s from.

Edit: to all the haters…

Saying 'what kind of an idiot doesn't know about the Yellowstone supervolcano' is so much more boring than telling someone about the Yellowstone supervolcano for the first time.

Never seen it. What happened in this scene?

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 108 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

The framing device for the whole movie is that they're searching the wreck to find a priceless necklace, and bring along an old woman, who had it when the ship sank, to help them. She then tells them her story, moves them into abandoning the search, and in the end it's revealed she had it the whole time when she throws it overboard.

Thanks for the actual explanation without being condescending or demeaning! I appreciate it

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, I actually didn't know this because I've usually fallen asleep while trying to watch that movie with someone lol

The big boat sinks.

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago

I had no idea what I was looking at, then you writing this instantly made me realize the scene.

So yeah, I think the commenter’s got a point

[–] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

Damn, I had a feeling, it was Titanic, because of the eerie lighting, but I've never watched it, never seen this scene.

I guess, it did narrow things down, though, that it's posted here without explanation...

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 68 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (9 children)

Literally the most watched film of all time.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 106 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I dont remember this scene from backdoor sluts 9...

K well I didn’t see that one.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Nonetheless, I would be willing to bet that only a single digit percentage of people on this planet have seen this nearly 30 year-old movie.

[–] lyrial@anarchist.nexus 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have seen it, but because it has been nearly 30 years since I have, I had no recollection of this scene.

128 million Americans saw it in theatres when it came out apparently (that's just Americans! And just the initial theatre release). But it's been shown on TV, streaming services, etc (and you could pirate it of course) and is accessible in pretty much every country today. There's been surveys with results like "26% of brits haven't seen Titanic", etc, but no real hard data unfortunately. But I'd wager the percentage has to be double digits. Not super high double digits, but definitely double digits.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean a portion of those have certainly died within 30 years?

Shrek 2 obviously!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Avatar?

I saw that a year or two after it first came out and I don't remember any of this being part of it..

[–] bjorney@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Avatar made more money per view due to 3D/IMAX - which wasn't a thing for titanic

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

Still, I didn't recognize the scene or even the movie based on the pic, the description, OR your appeal to popularity, so I'm gonna have to sustain the objection to vagueposting.

(And yes, I DID see Titanic once. Mostly meh and Leo was awful in it afair)

To be fair, Titanic was pretty iconic

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 41 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Never seen it. Something about French ladies and floating door space?

You're not alone. I've not seen it, no intention to either

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Its actually all just a high concept, softcore porno that takes place in a Model A Ford, just with an unusually developed plot and large production value, that bookends this.

Anyone whose seen it knows where it’s from. It’s the final scene from James Cameron’s Titanic in which Rose throws the infamous jewel into the ocean.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I saw the movie and had no idea. Although it was well over twenty years ago and I was more interested in the gal I was sitting next to than the movie.

Nah i've seen it atleast twice and it took me a while to have guessed titanic. Still needed the comments to confirm it. Can't remember jewel being thrown away at all

[–] la508@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Exactly the same as me. The film's 30 years old, and I've definitely seen it, but probably not in the last 20 years or more. I just about recognised it was Rose but haven't got a fucking scooby what she does at the end of the film. I thought it ended with her sat on the piece of wood watching Jack sink.

Its ok, there can be cultural references you do not immediately understand, we don't have to all have the exact same repetoire of concepts in our brains.

[–] Jaycifer@piefed.social 12 points 2 months ago

I have never watched the movie, don’t know that I’ve ever seen an image from this scene, but instantly recognized it because I’ve read people complain about it so many times online.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 7 points 3 months ago

Until coming to the comments, I thought it was from The Others, but that didn't fit the title.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

It's a frame from near the end of my sex tape.

For some reason I thought it was Wendy from Hook lol
