I always love it when people refer to “this ending” or “this scene” as if everyone is supposed to know what this blurry still is supposed to be from. Even if it was a video, that still doesn’t tell me what it’s from.

Edit: to all the haters…

Saying 'what kind of an idiot doesn't know about the Yellowstone supervolcano' is so much more boring than telling someone about the Yellowstone supervolcano for the first time.

    The framing device for the whole movie is that they're searching the wreck to find a priceless necklace, and bring along an old woman, who had it when the ship sank, to help them. She then tells them her story, moves them into abandoning the search, and in the end it's revealed she had it the whole time when she throws it overboard.

    Damn, I had a feeling, it was Titanic, because of the eerie lighting, but I've never watched it, never seen this scene.

    I guess, it did narrow things down, though, that it's posted here without explanation...

    Literally the most watched film of all time.

    Nonetheless, I would be willing to bet that only a single digit percentage of people on this planet have seen this nearly 30 year-old movie.

    128 million Americans saw it in theatres when it came out apparently (that's just Americans! And just the initial theatre release). But it's been shown on TV, streaming services, etc (and you could pirate it of course) and is accessible in pretty much every country today. There's been surveys with results like "26% of brits haven't seen Titanic", etc, but no real hard data unfortunately. But I'd wager the percentage has to be double digits. Not super high double digits, but definitely double digits.

    Avatar made more money per view due to 3D/IMAX - which wasn't a thing for titanic

    Still, I didn't recognize the scene or even the movie based on the pic, the description, OR your appeal to popularity, so I'm gonna have to sustain the objection to vagueposting.

    (And yes, I DID see Titanic once. Mostly meh and Leo was awful in it afair)

    To be fair, Titanic was pretty iconic

    Never seen it. Something about French ladies and floating door space?

    Anyone whose seen it knows where it’s from. It’s the final scene from James Cameron’s Titanic in which Rose throws the infamous jewel into the ocean.

    I saw the movie and had no idea. Although it was well over twenty years ago and I was more interested in the gal I was sitting next to than the movie.
