Oh god yes. I bawled I was like a kid and I bawled in the theatre with my mom and aunt. I was so bored for the rest of it.

[(Anonymous)]

Same.

[elaminator]

The one time I saw this movie I cried for both. Man that was a long-ass movie...

(Don't get me wrong, I liked it, and tend to LOVE longer movies like LOTR or the recent DKR but...Jesus, it felt like it went on half the day.)

[(Anonymous)]

So agree. They got the only emotional reaction from me during the whole film. The rest I was 'meh' about but their scene really upset me.

[cyren2132]

Are you me, OP, because SERIOUSLY. That old couple and the guy who's telling his kids that it's only goodbye for a little while? And the woman trying to read her kids to sleep before the boat sinks? SO SAD.

[klutzygirl]

(Semi) fun fact. They were a real couple named Isidor and Ida Straus. He was co-owner of Macy's. They refused to leave each other.

Per Wikipedia:

Traveling from Germany back to the United States, Isidor and his wife were passengers on the RMS Titanic when, on April 14, 1912, it hit an iceberg. Their baby grandson, Stuart Scheftel, had caught a cold and been left behind in England with his nurse, or else he would have been on the ship with them. Ida reportedly would not leave Isidor and refused to get in a lifeboat. The officer filling up the boat told Isidor that he could get into the boat with his wife, but he refused to, instead sending his wife's maid, Ellen Bird, into the boat. Ida refused to board the half-full boat, saying "I will not be separated from my husband. As we have lived, so will we die, together."[4] Isidor and Ida were last seen on deck sitting in deck chairs holding hands when a huge wave washed them into the sea. Eyewitnesses described the scene as a "most remarkable exhibition of love and devotion."[5] Both died on April 15 when the ship sank. Isidor Straus's body was recovered by the cable ship Mackay-Bennett and brought to Halifax, Nova Scotia where it was identified before being shipped to New York. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. Ida's body was not recovered.[6]

The couple are portrayed in the 1953 film Titanic and the 1958 film A Night to Remember, in scenes that are faithful to the accounts described above. In the 1997 film Titanic, the Strauses are briefly depicted kissing and holding each other in their bed as their stateroom floods with water, along with a deleted scene showing Isidor (played by Lew Palter) attempting to persuade Ida (Elsa Raven) to enter the lifeboat.

This should be no secret. I think there's just something so very sweet about old couples who are still so much in love...

[gabzillaz]

That part was heartbreaking.

[natural_blue_26.livejournal.com]

TRUTH

[helenadax]

Oh, yes, they make me cry too.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, I agree. No need for this to be a secret, OP. They are a touching couple.

[(Anonymous)]

The parts where the ship is sinking and everyone is dying in the water upset me so much when I was a kid. Never gaf about Jack and Rose, though.

[habilelapin]

Not going to lie, I've never seen Titanic. Not once. It's too long, and I have zero interest.

But I have seen this scene, where the ship is sinking. And despite not seeing anything else in the movie, and looking away almost immediately after, this scene was genuinely touching, all on its own. There's something very poignant about it, in the way they cry while holding tight to one another, accepting death together. It's the only thing I've ever remembered.

[spicandspan89.livejournal.com]

Yep. The part when the dad says goodbye to his kids is when the waterworks start happening.

[(Anonymous)]

Isidor and Ida! Same, same, same.

Even worse? The Titanic musical. They sing a duet called 'Still' which is like a renewal of their wedding vows (? Sounds like it, anyway) right while the ship is sinking.

Cry. Every time.

[blue_aeon]

When it got to the part where the Irish mother is telling her two children the story of Tir Na Nog I just burst into tears and sobbed for the rest of the film (including the end credits). It's just as well we had to stop watching the film in our house, really (my brother's a huge Titanic nerd and it was and still is incredibly hard to get him to be quiet when watching anything to do with it).

The film's got nothing on the actual stories from the sinking though, and there's so many that I wouldn't even know where to start. At 10, I didn't grasp the enormity of what happened (my only thought at the time was "they're not going to get out!"), but now... Now I can't hear Nearer My God to Thee at all without wanting to curl up and cry.

[streetcake]

I think I may have felt sadder over them than the dead babies. The story behind it makes it worse. Dang old people, why you gotta be so cute in the most heart-breaking way.

[(Anonymous)]

AND WHEN THE IRISH MOM TELLS THE KIDS A STORY AND PUTS THEM TO BED.

[(Anonymous)]

;_; Oh yes, I agree 100%.

The rest of the film I spent crying for them, not for the "official" couple.

[(Anonymous)]

Doesn't have to be one or the other. It's heartbreaking to think anyone had to die on that ship, even if one couple was fictional while the other actually lived.

[sistermagpie]

Yeah, those two are the Love Story from the Titanic for a reason 100 years +. I was so glad they were in the movie.

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely. Them and the mother putting her kids to bed send me over the edge every time.

[(Anonymous)]

that fucking scene destroys me. jesus just that pictures makes me eyes well up. i don't like that movie, but that whole montage, with them and the kids and the musicians breaks my heart.

[ex_paola492]

I saw the movie when I was in 6th grade with my whole class. Didn't care for Jack & Rose. But when the mom was still holding her baby in the water I was like "DAMN YOU, CAMERON! /ENDLESS WEEPING ;;;;____;;;"
