Every time I hear about titanic this thought occurs to me.
Who was really the villain here: The businessman who spent enormous amounts of his money bathing his fiance in luxury and trying to give her a happy life as his wife, or the treacherous foid who, on a completely unplanned whim, LOSES HER VIRGINITY to an impoverished piece of trailer trash one random night, ON THE SHIP HER LOVING FIANCE PAID FOR HER TO RIDE ON. She knew this man for less than a day and that was enough to make her want to hurt her family and destroy her world. What? Cal is the bad guy because he stays within his social boundaries and values loyalty?
Titanic is just proof of how easy it is to invert people's morality. It successfully convinced an audience that adultery and recklessness is virtuous and that loyalty and love to one's future spouse is evil. It didn't even try to hide who was doing what wrong. Cal took care of Rose and repeatedly forgave her and tried to keep her while she and Jack made him and tried to make a fool of him. The movie said the Cal was bad and Jack/Rose were good for those actions and viewers believed it.
Also, it should say something that those who fell for the message were almost unanimously women.
