The love between Jack and Rose is evocative and the most talked about.
And right behind him was Karl.
As the number of people watching the movie increases, there are more and more comments, discussions, and interpretations about Carl.
There are more and more people sympathizing with Karl.
For example, some film critics complained about Karl.
"Everyone is talking about Jack, everyone is talking about Ruth, and everyone is belittling Carl, but is Carl really that bad?
Yes, throughout the entire film, Karl, who appears as the second male lead, seems to have an aura of brassiness, vulgarity, and conspiracy as soon as he appears.
He can be said to be the best villain in the movie!
But what if, what if he is the male lead?
Compared with Jack, he can be said to be more elegant and more dedicated in love. He comes from a wealthy family and is the heir to a steel giant family. Is such a male protagonist a diamond-level rich and handsome man who is being robbed like crazy?
It's a pity that Carl is not the leading actor. He seems to be in a movie like "Titanic" and is indeed not suitable for the position of leading actor. He is only the second male lead!
Even the number one villain!
Let's review. The first time he appeared was at the dock. When he arrived at the dock and looked up at the Titanic, his heart must be full of hope and yearning - he will return to the United States with his fiancée and start a journey.
their happy life.
Fiancée Ruth is a seventeen-year-old aristocratic lady. Since her father passed away, the family has been nothing but an empty shell of the aristocracy. But Karl doesn't mind. He is a successful businessman and he doesn't need to scheme for women's money. He will do it himself.
For Ruth and her daughter to continue to live a luxurious life as a class.
Of course, maybe he also needs this shell of a nobleman, but you can't deny his love for Ruth!
In fact, Karl knew that Ruth didn't love him that much, and maybe he also knew that she didn't like him, but he didn't care.
Carl was aware of the differences between himself and Ruth. For example, when Ruth spent a lot of money to buy some paintings that he could not appreciate, he asserted that "Picasso must not be famous." At that time, the theater was filled with laughter from God's perspective.
Voice.
But we can’t say that he is wrong! He doesn’t understand art, and this is not something worth belittling!
Because he didn't pretend to understand, he just told his true feelings, and he was much more honest than many people.
Carl put the Heart of the Ocean, which he bought with a huge sum of money, around Ruth's neck. He said to Ruth: I will give you my heart, and I can give you everything, as long as you accept me and give your heart to me.
I.
Here Karl actually told the audience a truth and a request. The truth is that he loves Ruth but he knows that Ruth does not love him. The request is that he hopes Ruth can love him. As a fiancé, he asks his fiancée to love him, which is wrong.
?
Ruth expressed her unwillingness to marry Karl to her mother, but her mother said that the family had no money and asked Ruth if she planned to sell her property or let her work as a seamstress.
From here we can know that Ruth's marriage was not out of love from the beginning. She was forced by her mother, but it was her mother who forced her, not Karl. Ruth has already benefited from this marriage -
—For example, spend money to buy these paintings, stay in the first class cabin of the Titanic, the Heart of the Ocean, etc.!
Don't say that she didn't actively pursue these, but the fact is that she did enjoy them, and she did not refuse the benefits that Karl provided her.
However, when he got it, he was unwilling to fulfill his obligation - loyalty to his fiancé.
Some people say that Karl is not a gentleman. He saved his fiancée by himself, but he was stingy with the reward and even made things difficult for her!
Yes, as a rich man, he is indeed not a gentleman enough, but as a man, as Ruth's fiancé, isn't his behavior a matter of course?
We all know that there is no way to repay a life-saving favor. Ruth's reaction is that he is not a fool, on the contrary, he is a businessman, and he has the shrewdness of a businessman. So, maybe at this moment, he will
Already aware of Jack's ambiguity towards Rose, he was also aware of his fiancée's panic.
So, as a man, shouldn’t he be like this?
As a man, knowing that Ruth and Jack had played wildly all night in the third-class cabin, Karl certainly couldn't tolerate this, so he overturned the breakfast table the next day.
Up to this point, he still didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, Ruth behaved like an unqualified fiancée!
What we must note is that Ruth was dissatisfied with the engagement, but she did not directly propose to Karl to terminate the engagement. Instead, while enjoying the luxurious life that Karl built for her with money, she expressed pain like a trapped bird.
, and her way to solve the pain is to have an orgy with her little lover Jack.
Yes, Jack can draw, knows romance, and is full of uninhibited freedom.
Yes, these are things that Carl does not have.
Perhaps only those who are favored can feel confident, and Ruth is the person who feels confident.
While she was enjoying everything Karl provided, she didn't want to really sell her property and let her mother work as a female worker, but on the other hand, she was with another man.
It's ironic, isn't it?
Let's just imagine, if the Titanic had not sunk, if Ruth had eloped with Jack after getting off the ship, how long could their passionate love full of novelty last for each other? After all, Ruth was a person who couldn't even stay in the luxurious first class cabin on the Titanic.
She is a dull, aristocratic lady who needs paintings to decorate her, while Jack is a poor boy who won a third-class ticket by gambling.
Jack cannot provide Ruth with a luxurious life. The same so-called Jack who understands romance and is full of uninhibited freedom cannot even provide for himself well. So how can he let Ruth live a good life?
The temporary temptation, the short-term stimulation ends, and the final result must be a pile of chicken feathers!
The so-called love will also be wasted away in the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
When the Titanic began to sink, Ruth twice gave up the opportunity to get on the lifeboat for Jack.
In the face of disaster, even though Ruth behaved so badly, Carl still did not give up on Ruth. He still wanted to take Ruth back to the United States.
When the attendant told him that Ruth was on the other side of the ship, with that boy, he gave up the opportunity to board the boat that he had only obtained by bribing the crew with a heavy bribe, and resolutely went to find Ruth. In order to let Ruth get on the lifeboat with peace of mind, he lied to her.
The crew has been cleared, and both Jack and himself can get into the lifeboat.
But Ruth didn't believe him. In order to live and die with her young lover Jack, she abandoned the lifeboat for the second time. This completely angered Carl. He finally drew his gun and hunted down the "dog couple".
Maybe someone will jump out and say: Love is tolerance, love is perfection, why can't Karl make this couple happy?
Please, in this triangle relationship, the problem is Ruth, okay? She is holding Carl's job, but stealing Jack's food. As a betrayed and repeatedly humiliated Carl, he can't be angry?
When Wu Song beheaded Pan Jinlian, why didn't anyone come out and say, "Let her and Ximen Qing be harmonious"?
Carl is indeed not a man of high moral standards. In order to make Rose hate Jack, he instructed his men to frame Jack. In order to board the boat and escape, he bribed the crew for the first time and brought a child in for the second time, pretending that he was the only child.
Relatives used the sympathy of the crew to board the lifeboat.
But who among all living beings has no selfish motives? How many people are qualified to criticize him? At a critical moment of life and death, isn’t it human instinct to survive?
No one is ever perfect!
Jack? He's not perfect either, otherwise he wouldn't still be chasing after Ruth even though he knew she had a fiancé.
We do not deny that his love for Ruth was so pure that he was willing to die for her.
But just imagine, if there hadn't been this disaster, how would he and Kalbi have been together?
At the end of the story, the survivors on the lifeboat were rescued by the Carpathia. Carl still did not forget to go to the third class cabin to look for Ruth, but Ruth lowered her head to avoid it. Even at this time, she still did not have the courage to tell Carl face to face.
:I don’t love you, let’s break off the engagement.
Many people were moved by Jack and Rose's final farewell, but I think the most touching thing about Carl in Titanic was the scene where he was looking for Ruth everywhere on the third-class rescue ship. At that moment, I really felt that Carl was very
Love Ruth.
Some people will say that Jack Ruth is pathetic when they mention this movie.
But in my opinion, the real pity is Karl. Women's rights only see that Ruth cannot make the decision on her marriage. Can Karl make the decision?
As the son of a Pittsburgh steel tycoon, does this kind of status allow you to love whoever you want? There are all kinds of upper-class social factors involved, just like a rich kid cannot just marry anyone.
It is impossible for celebrities to marry ordinary people when they are married to little-known ordinary women. It’s not that they look down on ordinary people, it’s because their status doesn’t allow it!
But Karl still chose to accept it generously. Of course, he couldn't do it for love like Ruth, and his mother didn't want it. Ruth was just the daughter of a declining nobleman, and the family only had the false reputation of a duke. Of course it was gone.
It doesn't matter, but Carl can't do it. He has the mission of the Hockley family on his shoulders. Can you let you give it up?
In fact, Carl has always loved Ruth. Why, on the night of the shipwreck, Ruth insulted and spat at Carl, but on the Capesia, Carl was actually still looking for Ruth. In that scene, Carl turned from Ruth.
Passing behind, Ruth deliberately did not let Karl see her. Why did Karl still go to find Ruth? Insulting and spitting, which man can endure such insults? What is it if it is not true love? Also, so Karl has always been sincere to Ruth.
Yes, it’s just that he’s not as smooth-talking as Jack. What can a businessman do besides using gems to express his love? But Ruth, on the other hand, is most ruthless and ungrateful!”
However, some people also think that it was Karl who caused Ruth's ending.
"Karl doesn't have a choice, so does Ruth have a choice?
She is just a tool for her mother to continue to maintain the luxurious life of the nobles.
When her mother said those words, she never thought about whether her daughter, Ruth, would be happy after marrying Karl?
Will he commit suicide due to depression?
She never thought of committing suicide!
And this is just the beginning!
She is unwilling to sell her property and become a worker! She just wants to exchange the happiness of her daughter Ruth for a superior life.
Just continue her upper class life.
As for not telling Karl to break off the engagement, has anyone ever thought that once she decisively raised Karl's power and money on this ship, what Jack would face would not be framed, but directly crushed.
die!
So she didn't escape, but didn't dare, but couldn't help herself!
From beginning to end, Karl's love for Ruth feels more like her being his fiancée and her aristocratic status.
Women in that era had no rights to begin with, not to mention that after Ruth fell in love with Jack, she completely showed her face with Carl. She did not hide it and faced it bravely.
And in fact, Carl appears in the movie just to contrast Jack.
When Jack saw a helpless child, he would save him, but Carl ignored him. In the end, he carried the child because he had no choice but to get on the lifeboat. The lifeboat overturned and a man wanted to get up, but Carl kicked him and said, "You will destroy the boat."
It’s translated. Karl loves Ruth, but Karl loves his money even more.”
Both sides also debated back and forth.
Some people say that neither Jack nor Carl are perfect.
"Jack's experience is aimed at ordinary people's dreams.
A person from the bottom of society pursues a noble daughter, and the other party has a rich fiancé. This kind of excitement is completely for the market.
Because this is probably what countless ordinary people dream of!
And Karl is the man that many women want in reality.
He may not be as romantic as Jack. In fact, to a certain extent, he understands romance better than Jack. Isn't the Heart of the Ocean romantic enough?
Some people also say that "Titanic" itself is an unattainable dream.
For a man, even if he becomes Jack, he cannot really get Ruth in the end, even if he pays the price with his life.
So, it is always just a dream.
For women, a diamond king like Karl will never be accessible to ordinary girls.
Such a man, even if he meets a "cheating" woman like Ruth, he will still be persistent, and he will only be persistent for such a woman.
So whether they are men or women, the movie is telling them that it is really important to be well-matched. It is absolutely impossible for Jack and Rose, ordinary people at the bottom of society and the daughters of aristocrats, even the declining aristocrats, to truly live.
Live a happy life.
Similarly, a man like Karl is definitely not something that ordinary girls can touch.
Ordinary girls who want to marry into a rich family and complete a class jump will always end up with nothing more than a mirror image!
Ruth and Jack are more idealistic, while Carl is more realistic! This is the point!
What’s even more interesting is that from beginning to end of the movie, the people who escape the most are still people from the upper class.
It also tells everyone that even if a disaster occurs, there is still a hierarchy in front of life!"
