To think in Titanic Cal and Roses mother weren’t that bad?

Watching as a young teen I always thought Cal and Ruth were awful people. But now I don’t see it so black and white, as in there are no goodies or baddies.

Cal loved Rose in his own way and it just have been pretty heartbreaking to watch your fiancée sneak about with another person and then sleep with them.

Ruth was just a product of her environment. Must be scary to leave the only world you’ve ever known and become poor - obviously much harsher conditions back then.

Also I see many people say that Rose was selfish as Jack could've laid on the plank at the end. But Jack did try to get on it and it flipped so she wasn't being selfish at all. She had a lot of courage to walk away from something that many others didn't dare try and do. Rose was actually based on a real life lady called Beatrice Wood and although she wasn't linked to the Titanic in real life her character was found in her autobiography that James Cameron was reading during the making of Titanic.
