Titanic Movie Alternative Ending Scene
Titanic Movie Alternative Ending Scene - Old Rose
You may not have seen this romantic movie, but the beginning part of this scene didn't make the final cut.
"You look for treasure in the wrong place, Mr. Lovett. Only life is priceless... and making each day count."
Pay attention to what Rose says starting at 2:31 when she has Brock Lovett's full attention. If you grasp what she says and begin practicing it as she did by looking at the photos on her nightstand, you'll discover the true path to happiness in your life.
Do you understand the symbolism of what happened after the panning of the old photos is over and you see the last of the clip? Rose was the last living survivor of the Titanic sinking in this movie.

Another great short movie scene is from the Game of Thrones. The evil Cersei comes to the garden wondering why Lord Ned Stark might be "posing me riddles." Wait for it at the end! CLICK or TAP HERE.
Thanks for the trailer Tim. Yes, there is more to life!
You never disappoint, Tim. Our true and everlasting treasures are those things that can't have a dollar value placed on them. In your neck of the woods and up here in the Pacific Northwest a major source of joy and warmth are the beautiful changes of season with all of their sights, smells, sounds (and, fortunately, still places without the distracting din of modern sounds). Add to that the Spring entrance of new life with all of its marvel and magnificence, and its ease to see what Rose was alluding to.
Thanks, Tim!
I just hate it when people who have plenty of money casually waste a work of art that someone else created with their own time, skills and talent, then think their late found insite gives them the privilege to dismiss it as unimportant in the greater scheme. That old woman could have preserved that lovely piece by giving it to the young man who could have sold it to finance his own dreams.
I congratulate you on your dawning insight, but wasting beauty and craft , thinking it is profound is air headed. We are physical creatures who need money to survive.
Mary,
You do realize this was a movie, right? Old Rose is a fictional character. No one really threw such a valuable necklace into the ocean.
Thank You. It really made me think of how lucky I am to have
my loved ones in my life. And I do agree with what she said.
I too think love and family is priceless.
The values in life varies with each individual. This lady’s jewelry has become unimportant at his stage of her life, it may be a symbol of a wealthy life which had few gratifying moments and this action brought her relief in her heart and mind.
Wow!!! Seems such a waste to me too....I have not watched this movie, even tho I do have the DVD.....just can't make myself watch it.....still don't know if I will or not........
As we all know, we can't take any of our material blessings with us when we leave this earth. However, we all have the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy with our loved ones. A legacy that showed our love for our creator, Jesus Christ. We can take loved ones to heaven by telling them of His Saving Grace!
Great comment! There's ETERNAL joy, much less happiness!
When I first read Mary's post, I was angered; however, after thinking about it, I think she is right. Such a beautiful thing should not be destroyed but shared with others. Whoever owns it for now will eventually have to part with it. Now, if she had thrown away a handful of $100 bills I see nothing wrong with that.
Albert,
You do realize this was a movie, right? Old Rose is fictional character. No one has gone back to the sinking site and thrown a priceless necklace in the water.
WOW thank you Tim for that.
I agree with you, Mary. While material possessions are not the most important thing in life, they are important. For most people, a certain amount of money is necessary for a decent, comfortable existence. One reason I still work is so that I can afford to donate to causes which I find to be important. I was raised to be thankful for and value everything. I was taught to never waste and toss out items that someone else might be able to use. Tossing the extremely valuable jewel in the ocean was a ridiculous thing to do, and I cannot imagine anyone with a good grip on reality doing such a thing. If one could find no other use for the money that the necklace would bring, what about feeding the hungry or helping sick children? What a selfish, indulgent thing to do. The more I think about it, the more stupid it appears to be.
I love your newsletters, Tim, but you missed it on this one. I understand what you are trying to communicate; however, the example is not a good one.
Tlim,
Thank you for including this.
Kathy,
How is that I missed it with what Old Rose said?
"You look for treasure in the wrong place Mr. Lovett. Only life is priceless, (pause) and making each day count."
I'd say that's spot on with what I was trying to communicate. My friend probably wishes NOW that he would have engaged himself in his hobby much more and made each day count before he became sick.
And indeed what you were trying to communicate is a precious and salient point. Perhaps what Kathy was saying (forgive my impertinence in speaking for one whom I do not know) was that what you missed was a chance to present this point with this trailer. Making the most of every day, respect for life, might more altruistically lead Rose to realize that tangible wealth is less important. But then give it away, in your wisdom, but not to your deceased past love, where it may assuage only your own heartbreak. But to a cause whose essence is that priceless thing called life. Older folks may become idiosyncratic, but this gesture seems like such a waste. Others have made this same point in a more practical, thoughtful manner. Maybe (I am being presumptuous) this is what Kathy was saying when you chose this as your vehicle, and if so, then I would tend to agree with her.
