[Titanic] Rose is not shredded pork

The couple saw Ruth and Karl on the deck where the lifeboat was placed, so they hid in the crowd.

"Are lifeboats graded?" Rufu maintained the usual aristocratic soft voice, "I hope it won't be too crowded." She was wearing a bulging, matchbox-like life jacket and a fox fur shawl outside, like some kind of white boat. Belly bloated creatures.

"She never loved anyone," Rose said mockingly to Jack, "Ruffy only cares about herself, and she only cares about whether there are expensive cars, luxurious banquets, exquisite dresses and expensive jewelry. I It's just the tools she crafted to keep it going. She never loved or sympathized with anyone, including her daughter."

Jack didn't answer, but squeezed her cold hand hard to comfort her.

"Is there a seat for gentlemen?" Carl took Rufu's arm and asked the flight attendants courteously. Rose had never seen such a courteous expression on his face, nor had she ever faced her.

Sure enough, in the face of the problem of survival, demeanor, restraint, nobility...all are insignificant.

"Let the women and children go first for now, and it will be your turn soon, sir."

With red hair flashing in front of her eyes, Rufu spotted her daughter.Waving her handkerchief, she raised her voice, "Rose, Rose! Come here, the lifeboat will be our turn soon!"

Carl's eyes were sharp, and he noticed Rose's hand being held by another.His pupils contracted, he pushed away the crowd desperately, grabbed Rose's wrist, and said fiercely: "What? You rejected me just because of such a poor boy with nothing? Rose?"

Jack punched him, freeing her from Carl's hand.Rose rubbed her wrists and said with a faint smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hockley, you really overestimate yourself. Of course Jack is my lover, but what are you? Why do you treat me and my lover? Tell me what to do? Even without Jack, I, Rose DeWitt Bukett, would not accept you. Besides, I have found my destined soul mate. I hope you can show your gentlemanly spirit. I don’t expect your blessings, at least not again. pester me, okay?"

In the deep night, the green, smiling eyes seemed to be burning.

"Rose, don't worry about that boy, come up! The lifeboat is about to be lowered!" Lufu's always dignified face showed hysterical anxiety, "Rose! Where are you going? Get on board!"

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm sure I'm fine. You and Mr. Hockley can wait for rescue on your exclusive first-class lifeboat." Rose turned her head, smiled brightly, squeezed Jack's hand, and disappeared with him into the In the dense and noisy crowd.

For the maiden voyage of the Titanic, White Star gathered the best musicians at sea.On deck, the band is still playing.

"Uncover the lifeboat canvas, uncover it all! Untie the rope, untie the canvas! ... Mr. Wood, where are the passengers?"

"Go in, I think it's noisy and cold outside!"

"……Oh shit!"

"I should have listened to Rose..." Andrew covered his face with his hands and whispered, "I'm sorry, little Rose, but I couldn't build you a stronger boat, and I didn't accept your suggestion."

He is like a prophet who understands the heavenly scriptures, he can save some people, but he can only save some people.The Grim Reaper flew overhead, and the flapping of Deathwing could almost be heard.

So many women, children and crew members are going to sink to the bottom of the sea with the Titanic.As a man, a man who should take responsibility, Andrew can no longer live, and he wants to express his regret and dignity at the cost of his life.

Andrew placed a delicate light yellow clock on the long wooden platform opposite, and clutched his tie tightly, as if he wanted to strangle himself.He stared at the pointer that didn't stop for anyone or anything, as if it was the arm of fate, pointing firmly to death.

Everything will disappear in an instant, music, fine wine, glory, dreams... everything you pursue in life is like a castle in the air, and will disappear at any time.

The dream that is within reach is wiped out in the blink of an eye.

On the deck, another distress rocket is launched, and the night sky bursts into grand fireworks, although it can only be in vain, the last funeral and elegy.

Red, white, clouds generally draw traces that quickly dissipate in the night.

Countless kissing relatives and lovers were separated, and countless waving hands swayed in the cold air.

"You are Daddy's good daughter, right? This boat is for you and Mommy, and Daddy boards another one."

"dad……"

"We have lived together for 50 years! Wherever he goes, I will be there..."

"Calm down, ma'am!"

"Mom, what are we doing?"

"Wait, baby. It's our turn after the first-class people get on board. Get ready, honey."

"You shouldn't give up on the lifeboat just to be with me." Jack said in the crowd.The tip of his round and small nose was red from the cold, and his vigilant eyes were looking for a breakthrough in the crowd like a falcon, but the corner of his eyes was always chasing his lover beside him.

"Come on." Rose said lightly, "If I'm not with you, what's the use of getting on a lifeboat? The lifeboat can't save me, only you can save me."

For 12 years, Rose has always felt that she is living in a world that does not belong to her, living in a movie, and everything she sees is nothing but a dream.It wasn't until she met Jack that she gradually felt the truth.It wasn't until she witnessed the silence of the Titanic that she completely escaped from the movies of her previous life, and truly became a person in this world, not a spectator who watched with cold eyes.

She turned her head and found that Jack's brows and eyes were crooked when he smiled, as if every inch of his body was smiling.

"Until now, I'm completely sure that you didn't want to leave me out of impulse, rebellion or anger."

"It's time to fight."

Suddenly she hugged Jack tightly.

Jack is the alter ego that God promised her, and she can't stand even a moment's separation.

Destiny is unsmiling, but it will show its cruel humor in this form: no matter you are usually noble, refined, indifferent, indifferent, or chasing fame and fortune, worldly and vulgar, once you encounter drastic changes, the original Human nature is always squeezed, and what is naturally revealed from the depths of the soul is the true nature.

A catastrophe, a catastrophe, is like a dazzling sunset, whether you are a diamond, glass or ice, you will emit different rays of light, or soft, or dazzling, or eye-catching, or short-lived, or immortal.

In the hall, the waiter was holding a stack of life jackets, and said to the gentleman coming down the stairs: "Here are your life jackets, Mr. Guggenheim."

"Ah, no, thank you." The man waved his hand, "We are dressed in our best attire, and we are leaving like gentlemen."

The black jacket is neat and straight, and the collar is white and shiny.Benjamin Guggenheim's valet stood sternly behind him, straightening his black bow tie.

"How about some brandy?" said Benjamin to the departing waiter.

He went to the table, took out a gold-tipped pen, and wrote a few words on the paper: "My dear wife: There will not be any women on this ship, because I took the position of the lifeboat and left behind." On deck. I won't die like a brute, but like a real man. Love you Benjamin."

At the same time, the deck is like a pot of boiling water, from the initial calm to the later boiling.People from the third-class cabin also rushed out, making the scene even more heated.Moody tried his best to block the crowd rushing towards the lifeboat, and he shouted: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

Lato's face was pale, and he blocked the frenzied flow of escaped people with his arms like a car. His voice was already hoarse, and he was still shouting: "Go back, go back!"

A woman stood on the side of the ship and was squeezed out of the ship by the chaotic crowd. Fortunately, she grabbed the lifeboat that was being lowered beside her and did not fall into the sea.But her weight caused the lifeboat to tip to one side, and everyone on board screamed in terror.

"Drag her back quickly!" Several people rushed forward, reaching out to grab her feet, and then dragged her back to the big ship, avoiding the fate of the lifeboat capsized.

There was a lot of voices and crowds, and the voice of the conductor was completely submerged in the crowd.Lato took out his pistol and pointed at several people who crowded forward: "Go back, don't push forward, or I will shoot!"

The crowd slowly recoiled under the threat of brandishing guns.

Another boat was surrounded by a dense crowd, like a pack of hyenas fighting over a carcass.

The crew did their best to maintain order, and despite the chaos, no one was able to get on board without the crew's approval.

On the other side of the hull, people had already rushed through the cordon, and some of them jumped into the remaining boats, only to be pushed out again by the people in the boat.Some people were jumping into the boat, and the crew used wooden sticks to stop them; some boats were not balanced, and they fell directly on the deck...

"My wife is very weak, and she is five months pregnant, can I take care of her on the boat?" Astor supported Madeleine, still maintaining the politeness and calmness that seemed to be born with him.

The crew of the No. [-] lifeboat replied: "No, sir, no men are allowed on board unless all the ladies are on board first." Astor did not say a word, took off his gloves and threw them to his wife, and then retreated to the deck On the boat, watching the weeping young wife get on the boat.

The small boat drifted leisurely into the distance.Astor stood on the deck and lit a cigar.His sunken cheeks, lined with lines, didn't tremble a bit.

A barber came over to chat with him, and Astor smiled and chatted with him.They talked about trivial matters that only the barber's chair could talk about.After talking for a while, the barber asked Astor: "Do you mind if I shake your hand?" The only billionaire on the Titanic and the richest man in the world said: "I am very happy."

The 15-year-old boy was pushed onto the lifeboat by his father. The boy jumped off the boat after wiping away his tears, and smiled brightly at the man who was anxious but pretending to be calm: "Dad, I am already an adult, how can I take the girls' seats? "

A gray-haired lady who almost got on lifeboat No. [-], when she stepped on the side of the boat, she suddenly changed her mind and came back to be with her husband. She said softly: "We have lived together for so many years. , where you go, I will go too!" She left her place in the boat to the young maid, gave her the fur coat, and said, half gratefully and half relieved, "I don't need any more It's gone!"

Jack said to the old gentleman: "I promise, no one will object to an old gentleman like you getting on the lifeboat..."

The old man gave Jack a firm smile back: "Young man, I will never get into the lifeboat before other men." He held the arm of his wife who was also old, and staggered into the wicker chair, like a pair of mandarin ducks, Resting there peacefully, leaning close together, quietly waiting for the last moment.

Eight musicians played the violin intently, and the notes flew over the deck and the sky where death was flying.

Black straight dress, polished mahogany violin, playing at the highest level at sea.It was as if they were not on a sinking ship, but in the Golden Hall of Vienna.It seemed that the surroundings were not panic-stricken noise, but the applause and cheers of the crowd.

The piece would have been played to its last note if someone hadn't rushed by and bumped a musician's arm.

"What's the use? Nobody listens to us playing."

There was a hustle and bustle all around.

Henry, the leader of the band, said with a smile: "No one listened to it in the restaurant just now. Keep playing so that you won't freeze. Play "Orpheus in Hades"."

"The shipwreck has a soundtrack, it must be first class!" Tommy said with black humor while running, with rhythmic steps, the words were cadenced and impassioned.

The dense crowd is like ants and headless flies that have lost their scent clues.

People running around aimlessly and hopelessly, people crying and shouting and pushing each other, people wrapped in identical life jackets, people with wild animal behavior, people with red eyes... It is hard to tell who is the superior. People who are inferior, who are inferior, can't tell who is a righteous person and who is a wicked person.

The musicians playing at the bow act like no one else, fascinated.

"Well, it's over. Goodbye, Henry. Good luck."

"That's corny. Goodbye, Wallace."

The musicians say goodbye to each other, as if a performance in a concert hall is over and the next concert will begin soon.Armed with violins, cellos, and double basses, they headed for the stern.

After the musicians walked away, Wallace put the violin on his shoulder again, and the melodious notes echoed in the night sky shrouded in death again.The gray overcoat swayed slightly as his body swayed.

It is not only longing, not only hope, not only passion, not only blessing, not only uncompromising and struggling against disasters, but also a review of life; a magnificent farewell to a life without regrets.

"God is with us".

The sound of the piano kept the footsteps that were about to leave, the musicians gathered around again, the bow was put on the body of the piano, and the strings were plucked again.In the melodious sound of the violin, the rich and deep sound of the cello and double bass sounded again.It's like the first bird in the morning breaks the silence of dawn and wakes up its sleeping companions, and then, with the first dawn, all the birds sing together.

The slightly thin musical voice quickly became fuller.

In the cockpit, the sea water was icy and chilly, accompanied by bubbling white foam, rushing in from all directions.

The captain stood erect, steering the rudder, which would no longer serve any purpose.He was as motionless as cast iron, like a black stone sculpture, swallowed by the oncoming seawater like a mountain.

Captain Smith has been faithful to his duty all his life, and now he is going to exercise his right of redemption.

Third class, one bed.Elderly elderly couple embrace each other tightly.The old woman frowned and sobbed softly, and the old man slowly and gently kissed her withered cheek with his withered lips.The gray hair of the two of them was scattered on the pillow, like dead grass intertwined in the snow.

Another bed.The young mother, wearing a headscarf, smiled and hugged her two sons, and continued the unfinished fairy tale in a calm and gentle voice: "They lived happily for 300 years in the fairyland of immortality."

Sea water up to the legs of the bed.

In the sense of security that only God and the mother can give, the child gradually closes his eyes and falls into a deep sleep.The sea had not yet reached the edge of the bed.

The mother gazed tenderly at the angelic faces of her two sons, tears slowly seeping out.Like a mole of tears, inlaid in the corner of the eye and refusing to slip.

In the hall of wonder that had left Jack stunned, outcast gentlemen cried out in terror.

The water is getting deeper and deeper.The sound of rushing water was deafening, and the sound of the sunlike dome crumbling, as if the sky were collapsing.

In the face of catastrophe, the good and evil of human nature are infinitely magnified.The sorrow and joy, kindness, tranquility, out of control, cunning and self-restraint in the depths of human nature all fall into Rose's lake-like eyes.

This time, not in a safe seat in a movie theater, but as one of 2200 chosen by fate.

Everything will come to naught, but Rose's feelings are burning.
