Speaking of "Titanic", I believe that many people's first impression of it is that this is a movie that tells a romantic love story, and all that comes to mind is some very romantic pictures, watching the sunset at the bow of the ship, the two people living and dying after the ship hit the iceberg, and finally, Jack gave Rose the hope of life.
This story is very romantic and moving, several people shed tears for it, whether it was in the past or now, many people watched it over and over again, and there were new touches that they never got tired of watching.
The film is so classic that so many years later, people will still be immersed in their love story, sad and tearful.
The first time I watched this movie was in middle school, when the English teacher led the whole class to watch it in a multimedia classroom, when I was still young, I just thought their love story was too poignant.
Later, after graduating from work, I occasionally turned it over and re-watched, and every time I saw and felt something different, sometimes I felt sorry for the shipwreck, and sometimes I felt heartache for those who suffered disasters.
Two days ago, I turned over this movie again to see it because I saw on the Internet that "Titanic" has been released in the mainland for 24 years, and I couldn't help but click on it again, and after watching it this time, I had some new ideas.
I think it's not just a love story, it's not just a disaster movie, its meaning is very far-reaching, it's actually about the redemption of a person's soul.

Rose is a young woman with a beautiful beauty, because of her beautiful and attractive appearance, she is favored by the rich Karl and becomes his fiancée. But her marriage was more influenced by her mother's slope than by her personal subjective will.
She actually didn't love Karl at all, and she didn't want to marry Carl, as already stated at the beginning of the movie, when they were going to board the most luxurious cruise ship back to the United States, the other tourists were very happy and excited, but she was not happy at all, she felt that this was a slave ship, and she was a slave, and when the ship returned to the United States, she would marry Carl.
Living with Karl, she lived a luxurious life of food and clothing, eating and wearing very luxuriously, as long as she followed him, she could enjoy all the glory and wealth without worrying about life.
But she hated this life, she didn't like to go to the nasty prom, she didn't like to listen to the rich people, all of which was not what she liked.
She is very resistant to marrying Karl, but she cannot refuse because her mother will morally kidnap her. To put it bluntly, it was her mother who asked her to marry Carl so that she could follow her daughter to glory.
This is where Rose is very unhappy, she wants to resist, but she does not know how to resist, and she is afraid to resist, because after resisting, she may live a bad life, so what she lacks is courage.
She wanted to escape from such a tragedy, but she did not have the courage, she did not know how to get rid of such a life.

Luckily, she met Jack, a very poor painter who didn't have any family property, he made his home, he even slept under the bridge, he was a very free man, even this ticket was won, but he did not feel inferior because of his own life.
Jack is Rose's courage, Jack can see through Rose's unhappiness, know that she is unhappy and unhappy with Carl, know that she longs for freedom, knows that she wants to break through all moral obstacles.
They fell deeply in love with each other, it was Jack's love that gave Rose courage, she resolutely gave up marrying Carl, gave up tens of millions of diamond rings, gave up the life of a carefree wife, and she wanted to go away with Jack.
The life Jack lived was actually the life she wanted, and she longed to be as free as Jack, not as she is now, although enjoying the glory and wealth, it was like going to prison, which meant nothing to her.
If she hadn't met Jack, she would have endured being with Karl and living a boring and boring life, so that she was more like a withered flower, with no life at all.
Many people may think that she is pretentious and wonder why she would give up such a rich man. In fact, this is the meaning of this movie, it tells us that the most precious and priceless thing for a person is our life, our freedom.

Jack flees with Rose, and the two of them go through many moments of passing by death, and they establish a very deep truth of suffering. In the end, Jack left the hope of life to Rose and encouraged her to live well no matter what, which gave Rose a lot of strength.
After being rescued, Rose hid her name, took Jack's last name, and never went back to find her fiancée, living a very poor life, knowing that she had a valuable jewel in her pocket, but she did not sell it, but lived by her own efforts.
Not only did she actively try to live, she also did a lot of things that she hadn't done before, riding horses, flying airplanes, skating, playing around, her people lived a wonderful life, and most importantly, she was free.
She loved Jack, she loved Jack very much, and the way she chose to love Jack was to live well, and it was Jack who redeemed her imprisoned heart and taught her how to live for herself.
After Rose was rescued, the ship sailed to the United States, and under the Statue of Liberty, she stared for a long time, and it was at this time that she decided to live the free life she wanted.
Teaching us to get rid of the confinement and live out the freedom is the biggest meaning that this movie gives us to interpret, maybe the life we live now is not the life we want, but we can all break through the inhibitions and live the life we want, which is not difficult at all, as long as we step out.
