Yes, I'm a conservative, and this is tongue-in-cheek.
But think about it. The guy (Hockney) was a real jerk, but he DID try to make sure Rose got into a lifeboat, even before he did! All Jack got her was a lousy door to float on. And he even went after her into the sinking ship - firing a gun, yes, but also to get her and bring her to safety. He probably wasn't even aiming at her! And he didn't even realize she had the diamond until after she got away.
And why is Rose so admirable? She may not have had any part in insurance fraud (claiming the necklace was lost) but she didn't give it back to her fiance either! And she was an ILLEGAL ALIEN! She gave a false name to get in the country. And to top it all off, she must have pawned the diamond at some point, to get her start in life. You don't see her dropping it into the water in 1912 now, do you? No, THAT part of her old life she kept!
So she owes all her happiness to her RICH fiance, at least as much as to Jack! :)

I don't know what to say about this one, but LOL!
BTW, that Celine Dion song that went with the movie was lame!:)

Billy Zane took care of that gold digger and her mother. All he expected in return is that she remain faithful, which she couldn't do. Instead she had an illicit affair even though she was engaged. And then near the end of the movie, Billy saved that little girl's life by getting her in the lifeboat. Yes, he was a little angry, but wouldn't you be if your fiance was cheating on you?

I agree with you, but not the political part.
I never understood why this movie was considered "romantic," since all Jack did was slip off a board and drown. He didn't sacrifice himself to make sure that Rose got into a lifeboat or anything.
I think of a "romantic" movie as being SOMMERSBY, where Richard Gere sacrifices himself for the freed slaves, or TARAS BULBA (that's an oldie), where Tony Curtis sacrifices himself for his girlfriend and her people.

Interesting take on the movie.
