In James Cameron’s Titanic, the actual test of Jack’s (Leonardo di Caprio) and Rose’s (Kate Winslett) love would be if the ship never sank. Then the affair would continue, the ship would reach New York and as Rose passionately says, “she would she will leave with him [Jack], preferring a poor life with her true love to the false corrupted life among the rich; at THIS moment the ship hits the iceberg, in order to PREVENT what would undoubtedly have been the TRUE catastrophe, namely the couple’s life in New York - one can safely guess that soon, the misery of everyday life would destroy their love. The catastrophe thus occurs in order to save their love, in order to sustain the illusion that, if it were not to happen, they would have lived ‘happily forever after’” So the iceberg, which seemed like an obstacle, in fact, saved the love affair by not letting the typical 20th-century bourgeois life challenge their love. Of course, if the miracle of love were to exist, though, the young lovers would take onto themselves their mistake (the transgressions of illegitimate sex and crossing the class divisions) and, despite their stark differences, patiently build a new life together without the excitement of a clandestine affair on a ship, not just any ship, but the Titanic. The truth of love lies in the contradiction where two fully assume “the fall”, the absolute unconditional necessity of the other person for our being, and building a new truth together with daily habits, rituals, conversations, etc. {Podcast} Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ryEqjut4r6SMtfxLdM1Le Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rahul-samaranayake {Social Media} https://twitter.com/trsam97 https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-samaranayake-981a9315b/ https://trahulsam.medium.com/ https://www.instagram.com/name_is_rahul/ Facebook Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA {Reference Links} https://www.lacan.com/zizfamily.htm {Images & Videos used} The Perverts Guide to Ideology (2012) - Slavoj Žižek: https://youtu.be/oBcFLmu_tlc If the ideas I discuss in this channel evoke your interest, consider visiting https://theunhappyman.substack.com/ Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
