Cal did not love Rose, he wanted to own Rose. This scene does not show how he loved her, it shows how he dismisses her. Closing the music box she was enjoying and pushing it to the side, laughing condescendingly because she understands French. Money is the only language this man knows; he didn’t buy her the diamond, he bought himself the diamond for it to be presented proudly on his beautiful wife for all to see.

If Jack had lived, Rose would have had him and the diamond. Double win.

Cal saw Rose as a possession. Jack saw Rose as a person.

I ve always hated the way he closes the music box. --'

Jack never told Rose he loved her. He showed her his love. Actions speak louder than words......

Cal: "Perhaps it's a reminder of my feelings for you." Rose: "Is it . . . " Cal: "Plastic? Yes."

My wife will sometimes come into the room and start a conversation with "I know you've been melancholy". Lol.

"Open your heart for me, Rose." Love that sentence. His character isn't popular, but makes him a good actor.

Im glad she fell in love with Jack. Money doesnt buy genuine love.

Kate is stunning in the film. Absolutely beautiful.

1:18 at that moment the diamond necklace felt like a leash. Great acting there by Kate Winslet

It’s amazing how much Kate winslet looks like she’s from those time her features her pale white skin! Didn’t need heavy makeup

everyone has there opinion on this, and here's mine: people say rose cheated on cal, lied to cal, and used cal-and that is partially true. people also say cal truly loved her-and perhaps that's true as well. what I see is to show his "affection" for her, cal buys rose a huge diamond necklace and tells her she can have whatever monetary thing she wants in life. Jack shows his affection for her by saving her life, then treating her not as an inferior because she is a woman or a princess, just because she is first class and he is not, but as an equal who has opinions and deserves to voice those opinions and live like she wants. he doesn't force her into anything, he gives her an option. and when she decides that she wants him, he honors her far more than cal ever did. in the end he was going to sacrifice himself for her sake. if that's not love, I don't know what is.

The contrast between Cal and Jack in how they treat Rose is so stark. Not just in explicit moments like Cal yelling at and slapping Rose vs. Jack saving and devoting himself to Rose, but also in more subtle moments like this. Cal doesn’t even try to understand why Rose was feeling down. He just starts showering her with jewels to make her swoon and focus on him and what he could offer her. Jack does the total opposite. He makes it clear that he doesn’t think Rose’s wealth should make her immune to negative feelings. He asks what happened and why she felt down, and even asks if she loves the man she’s about to spend a lifetime with. He CARES about her feelings, and respects them, and wants to understand. Even though he doesn’t get the upper-class life because he’s never had money, he still wants to understand her, and actively makes efforts to do so. Jack gives Rose a far greater gift than a diamond could ever be: the gift of someone who listens and cares.

If you think Cal loved Rose you need to watch that breakfast scene again. Rose was just property to Cal. Much in the ways of a misogynist.

He looks like Demetri from Anastasia here!! I can't help but notice everytime I watch this scene now!! Omg!

I absolutely love Billy Zane's performance in this movie, he could have been a great Lex Luthor.

Yes, I never noticed it before, but him closing the music box was very symbolic!

“I know you’ve been melancholy” gets me every time

Kate Winslet was stunningly beautiful in this movie, and The Holiday! 😘💞💕

"It's overwhelming." Amazing line.

It astonishes me that everyone forget how much a jerk Cal was... just because of this one scene he says kind words and gets her a gift and in some how people are saying "oh maybe he did care for Rose" or "he's actually a good man"... No. And the sad thing is there are jerks like this in real life when they pull the same stick that Cal pulled here and they're forgiven because they seem like they meant it. And I feel sorry for those who actually fell for Cal and believed him in this scene because some where along the line... they'll run into a "Cal" and fall for their false promises. But mark my words even if she had chosen him; she would have suffered the same hell she did before... maybe far worse. I can assure you of that, believe me I know.

It's hard to believe Billy Zane went from playing Biff Tannen's lackey in Back to the Future to Cal in Titanic. He's a VERY good actor!

I researched the Heart of the Ocean, and it was a black diamond, even though most people thought it was a sapphire, just because of the deep blue shade. It was beautiful

The way he carelessly closes the musix box and pushes it aside like it's worthless trash makes me angry. And sad. The actor played his role so well, I hate his character. 😅

I know Cal is a jerk but Billy Zane is so gorgeous. He was perfect for this role.

you can tell Rose wanted to die whenever she was around Cal. She might not have admitted it but you can tell by how she acts she's just really uncomfortable, but with Jack she is the complete opposite.

Cal showed his affection to Rose in the one sure way he knew how. For him, money talks and he was trying to say a mouthful to her. This was his life and how his family likely showed how they cared for each other. I wouldn't say he was trying to bribe her. He just doesn't seem to know a better way to convey his feelings.

Rose wanted to die. Jack wanted to live. Jack died for rose. Rose lived for jack. 🥺🥺🥺

Mistake #1: He put the diamond in the coat. Mistake #2: He put the coat on her!

The lighting, ambience and just the entire mood of this scene is so regal and out of this world. It looks like a painting brought to life.

Imagine such a man giving you a gift like that

Billy Zane did fantastic in this film.

Cal is really bad person, but the way he asks Rose to open her heart to him at 1:12 makes my heart melt 😍😄

She is looking absolutely stunning here

This is the definition of: you can’t buy love

I’m so sorry for all of you here who say this man LOVED this woman. It means you never truly loved or been loved. Love means sacrifice, trust, care for the other’s wishes and feelings, and Cal lacked all of these. He not only regarded her as a propriety (which was the mindset of that time so he’s not very special), but the reason he really kept looking for her on the ship was that he couldn’t bear the thought of him losing before the poor steerage Jack. It hurt his self-pride. He didn’t go back because he couldn’t stand something bad happening to her. You are so naive. Some people are really terrible yes.

"open your pants to me rose"-Cal😂😂😂

That music jewelry box tune is " Tales from the Vienna Woods " by J. Strauss

“Why Gaston. You are positively primeval.” --Belle

Fun fact: in the French version, he says the name in Latin and she translates it into French

"It's overwhelming", says Rose. She doesn't want that aristocratic world. Rose changes her last name (status) and chooses to be an actress. It is to see her in her charming middle-class home, filled with theater posters and objects from her exotic travels. A life that was entertaining, happy.

Every time Rose talks in this scene, Cal either talks over her or interrupts her. Except when she says “it’s overwhelming,” which is also the only thing that sounds like it's complimenting the jewelry. The subtle details are incredible.

He is the perfect actor to portray Cal 💯

Billy Zane played this character to a T.....couldn't be more perfect for the role. We hated him for the narcissist he was yet he was intimidating in every scene he was in.

Never appreciated this scene as much as I did watching it in my older age. This was a very pivotal scene to illustrate the kind of heelish antagonist that Hockley was. The way he expressed his intentions and desires for Rose came off very similar to the VVitch’s “Would thou like to live deliciously?” scene where the Devil disguised himself as the black goat and bribed her into giving herself to him in exchange for riches, the taste of butter and a pretty dress. The epitome of evil.

Truth is Jack and Rose would have never worked out...she's a princess who has always had all luxuries available to her and lived a lavish life. Although she had love and passion for Jack...he couldn't ever maintain her standard of life. Love doesn't pay the bills after all...but we all wish it could!

0:15 I thought the music box was composed music added in the film. Just now I see that it was in the actual scene and that Cal closed the box. This tiny move means so much…

He was trying to buy her wifeship with a diamond and soft words. That is not caring for someone, thats treating them as a game you can win.

Great little scene, Great acting ! You can "feel" what lies just below the surface with each of them.

Rose is so pretty

Rose: *Good gracious* Cal: *Perhaps it's a reminder of my feelings for you* Rose: *Is it a..* Cal: *Diamond? Yes. Fifteen carats to be exact. It was worn by Louis the 16th, and they called it the Heart of the Ocean*

For Downton Abbey fans here, Rose and Sybil were the same age, both 17 in 1912.

Cal: "Perhaps it's a reminder of my feelings for you." Rose: "Is it . . . " Cal: "a wig? Yes."

My friend thought she had the heart of the ocean. Literally. She thought Rose and Jack were real and that her great grandmother had given her the real necklace. I told her if the movie WAS real it would be at the bottom of the ocean. She said no. They found it. Her great grandmother bought it from a museum. Probably a gift shop but she wouldn't listen to anyone! 😂😂

I love how there are so many debates here about Cal VS. Jack because of this scene. And I guess in the end, it comes down to perspective, but I want to give my own take. Cal almost certainly had 'feelings' for Rose, you can't deny that, otherwise, why would he bother fighting for her when the ship is SINKING if she has nothing to offer him and she's treated him like garbage up until that moment. Even pulling a gun on them and risking his life just to get revenge should make it *pretty* clear that he definitely HAD feelings for her, regardless of how shallow and one sided these feelings were. Now, in the case of this movie and the argument between Jack and Cal; the reason why Cal STILL isn't an actual "valid choice" for Rose is simply because of who Rose is. You can criticize her immature handling of the situation when she back talked him, disobeyed him and even cheated, but it's made very clear from the start that she doesn't actually love Cal. People seem to forget that this movie was based during a time when arranged marriages were very, VERY common. Her relationship with Cal was not consensual. It was one way. And she was not happy. You take Jack OUT of the equation and this movie would've ENDED with her jumping off the boat. The events that follow with her "deciding between Jack and Cal" are only there to hide that fact that she cares about Jack. She's not ACTUALLY deciding if she should go BACK to Cal. Not after she finally got a backbone. On the surface, she says she "loves Cal" and because she's engaged, it's impossible for Jack and Rose to continue, but again, she never *wanted* to marry Cal in the first place; remember the scene where Rose's mother BEGS her to marry Cal because they are all out of money? The ONLY possible outcome I see where Rose ends up with Cal is if Jack and Rose COULDN'T escape from them once they were found out, and she was then forced to say "I do" or else they would off Jack. And that's the point. One seemingly "nice" scene from Cal can't negate everything else that's been built up in the movie. Rose's mother is manipulative and controlling and Cal is very traditionalist (in all the WRONG ways), shallow and abusive when he doesn't get his way. Cal only gave her the heart of the ocean because he has generic 'feelings' for her, most likely that of physical attraction and so he's trying to BUY her love, but Rose knows that Jack's feelings for her run far deeper. The connection they've made in such a short period of time is impalpable. So, the only conflict going on at this point is Rose deciding FOR HERSELF, for the first time, if she actually loves this guy who just randomly showed up in her life. And she does. She picks Jack. Other than that "forced marriage or *death* idea," I honestly don't think there's any other "possible outcome" here. [Well, except the possibility that her *AND* Jack get to live happily ever after if she just shared the f@$%ing door!!!] Anyways, ignoring the money aspect, and just looking at the two characters as they are: Cal is very dense, selfish and too focused on the mundane aspects of life, like the gentleman's club and politics for someone like Rose to have deep feelings for him. Bottom line, Rose just isn't compatible with him. "She feels like she's in a crowded room, SCREAMING at the top of her lungs and no one is listening!" Jack, on the other hand, LISTENED. He doesn't care about the "class" difference between them. He's very wholesome, compassionate and he gave Rose something irreplaceable that she kept throughout the rest of her life: a reason to live her life to the fullest. The time they spent together and the last promise she made to him were enough to shape everything that she did from April 15th 1912 forward. The last scene literally explains this with the pictures taken throughout the rest of her life. You personally can think that Cal might've had some heart underneath all the abuse, but you can't deny that Rose would NEVER, *EVER* end up with him. It's just not who she is.

Poor Rose, she must have felt so trapped. Jack at one point helped her find out who she really was.

"I gave you a diamond. Now love me."

Surely one of the best looking couples in cinematic history?

This is the only time in the entire film that Cal shows any kind of human quality, any love towards Rose.

These are the same speeches that I do in the mirror when I wear the new Ralph Lauren shirt.

💙the heart of the ocean

sorry but it has to be said... people wold go for cal? you'd go with a person that flipped the table saying" my wife in practice if not yet by law so u will honour me" over jack who said "Promise me you’ll survive. That you won’t give up, no matter what happens. No matter how hopeless." PEOPLE WOULD GO FOR CAL? y'all crazy ik its just a movie

This diamond is blue. It’s not a love heart, it’s a cold one.

Only someone as beautiful as Kate Winslet can wear a hunk of blue plastic and elevate it to look as if it were truly a diamond. She is so gorgeous

The necklace is like a heavy chain/leash around her neck like she’s owned. The cost of the rich life she will have with Cal in sacrifice of her freedom.

i've watched this under LSD, i can't transfer how stunning it was

That necklace . So beautiful 😍

I always wonder how cal put that necklace on so fast

Yes, cal loved rose but notice that she was never happy with him. Jack made her happy with who she was. I've seen this many times and everyone has there own opinion. So this is mine💙

I think she threw it in the ocean was not only because it was called the ❤️ of the 🌊 but I think like Cal when he died so did her reason to hold on and value it

Good old ninties💕

Cal: "There's nothing I wouldn't deny you." Proceeds to deny her having fun dancing in the lower decks of the ship. "You will never behave like that again, Rose."

I dont think I'd pick either of them, too much emotional pressure...

1:00 David Bowie moment, lord of the Labyrinth "Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave"

Just ordered and reveived my recreation of this necklace today. Love it.

,,Open your heart to me, Rose." ,,Open your heart to *darkness!"* I'm sorry, I had to. It's a great movie nonetheless.

Cal wasn’t the best person, but Rose didn’t stay behind. She was spoiled as seen in the car scene. He was kind of doing them a favor of marrying her as they were broke to maintain their lifestyle and hobbies (paintings). Marriage of convenience on both sides. Anyways… its a movie.

Is it me or is the way their conversation set up (talking to their reflections as opposed to turning to face each other) makes it look like Cal is talking to himself as opposed to Rose?

Hot take but Cal never really showed any wickedness towards Rose until she put Jack’s drawing in his safe and then showed up with jack like nothing happened. Even then he still tried many times to get her on a lifeboat.

O coração é um oceano, cheio de segredos.

When Carl said: open your heart to me rose. I know he actually loved her. Because if he didn't love her, he would not care where she put her heart, as long as she fullfiled the duty of being a good wife.

When he said “open your heart to me rose”, was I the only one who heard Ansem from Kingdom Hearts?

Jack is a manic pixie dream boy

Why is nobody talking about how relaxing this scene is

"It's almost as perfect as," "As what?" "my eyebrows of course, dear"

They really did well in casting Cal. I get the feeling that Zane is a bit like this IRL.

It all makes sense now he always had an obsession with hearts. After losing rose he ended up going after kingdom hearts

In this particular scene I felt deeply for Cal. I can tell he's trying, that he wants her to accept him and want him back. People may argue that he's trying to win her over with gifts and money, but what makes Cal all the more interesting and misunderstood is that money is all he ever knew. He was brought up that way. You notice just by the way he looks at her, that he just wants her to want him back. He's trying to impress her, and yes he's arrogant but as far as I've already mentioned he was brought up that way. The excitement just to put that necklace around her, her surprise and fascination to the gift makes him happy, because all he wants to do is impress her, as I've said. Jack and Rose had a common interest in art, and people say Cal and Rose didn't. But the fact that they both knew exactly that the necklace meant "heart of the ocean" shows that they could've been more understanding, and alike if they opened up to each other more. People say he also never loved or cared for Rose, but just by the longing stares he gives her especially here when looking at her through the mirror breaks my heart. He really does want her. He doesn't see her as property because if he was so rich and handsome replacing her wouldn't have been hard, and despite the fact she cheated and openly made him look like a fool, yet he continued to chase and try to keep her safe really made Cal deeper than we truly let ourselves see. He loves her, he doesn't know how to show it. And he results to violence which is honestly unacceptable, but he's heartbroken, and distraught over the fact that someone he loves would hurt him willingly like she did. Cal could've escaped early on in a lifeboat but decided to stay to make sure Rose got off the boat first EVEN when he knew she was with Jack now. He was willing to forgive her and overlook everything just to be with her. I believe Cal didn't realize how much he loved her until he lost her, and that's what broke him. Just the fact that he says "there's nothing I deny you, if you do not deny me" pulls at my strings because it proves and shows how badly he just wants her acceptance and affection. And yes Jack is a great person too, but imagine if the roles were switched, and Cal was lower class and Jack was higher class. What makes you think that Jack would be so understanding and innocent. It's the way you're raised and taught to see the world that shapes our beliefs and molds us into the person we are, well in most occasions. If Rose was only more open to Cal he could've improved himself and worked on their relationship to make her happy, because her happiness and appreciation is all he wanted from her, especially in this scene.

Cal: perhaps it’s a reminder of .... my feelings for you. Me: more like perhaps it’s a reminder of .... I am dirty rich .

I truly didn't watch this movie for the the sake of love. Their emotions, reactions, personality "Rose, Jack, Cal " was just like their little journey on the shining glorious ship through the waving ocean. Short, unstable and sparkling but not real. Who knows if Jack didn't die they would live happily ever after?! It seems so magnificent because it was a dream never come true

“There’s nothing I couldn’t deny you if you don’t deny me. Open your heart to me, Rose.” I really don’t know why, but that line feels a little sinister in hindsight. 😰

I love this man. He plays the evil one but he is a good guy 😉 Leonardo is in real the bad guy and playes the good one

Not gonna lie, if it wasnt Cal and that royalty comment, this would be extremely romantic and sweet. Of course you can’t buy people or love , but I think it’s so romantic when men already in relationships gift chocolates or flowers or jewelry to make their girlfriend/wife feel special and beautiful.

If people can just go back to this type of aesthetics, the world would be in a better situation.

Good gracious!

I thought Billy Zane was just perfection in this role. He was very handsome, very sure of himself and Rose made him act in ways that maybe he wouldn't have acted. She pissed him off because he couldn't get her like he had gotten everything else. She is was an OK guy as long as he was able to control his world. He only turned into a terrible person when he didn't get what he wanted. But that is the case with every single person in the world when they don't get what they want in some way. It may be a small reaction or it may be a terrible reaction. Why do you think there are so many divorces? Because someone want their own way and they think their way is the best way.

This type of romance between Rose and Jack don’t work in the real life. Money does not buy happiness but it sure makes it easier. When you marry you suppose to listen to your heart yes but also your head! Love doesn’t buy food, clothing or property!

I remember how people loved that necklace after seeing the movie and I remember seeing cheap knockoffs in stores but rewatching this scene, I can’t help but think it’s pretty gaudy. I used to love it, though.

The heart of the ocean is worth more than the whole diamond
