Message: [QUOTE="Daniel Cox, post: 164790, member: 141312"] Im not trying to be heartless here as im a big softee and do cry in sad scenes of movies. But watching the mother read aloud to her children was not what i see as a heart breaking scene.Why you may ask?...because by this time it is known that the gates were no longer locked and she would of have the free will to go up on deck if she wanted. In regards to the opening post of this topic "The Cartmells" were trapped behind the gates and were trying to escape and you knew they had no chance. The Cartmells were seen all though the movie from the pre-departure ("daddy its a ship!) to been on deck playing with a doll and then latter dancing with Jack.By this time the audience had a connection to the two of them and it would of been truley heartbreaking to see how they died. The mother and children on the other hand were only seen when the gates were 1st locked then in there cabin latter been read too , by this time there was so much action going on i think many people overlooked the true impact of that.If Cameron had introduced us to them earlier in the movie (say playing on deck while the mother watched)i do feel there final scenes(been read too) would of been much more powerfully protrayed and the audience would of absorbed it more.
