Cameron cut the ending because supposedly he decided that it wouldn't matter to an audience whether or not Brock got redemption. By looking at some fan sites, I discovered that there was an alternate ending proposed Rose's granddaughter and Brock try to stop Rose at the rail from tossing the necklace into the murky depths.

It could be argued that old Rose's action was selfish and self-absorbed but I do believe that that's exactly what Jack had made her promise to do, as he slips into the freezing waters - he makes her promise to live, selfishly and fully, without regard to structure or convention, and to "never let go" of that promise. And maybe she just was a crazy old lady - I know a lot of them, and aspire to be one myself one day (not this week, I hope), so why not? Sometimes it's better not to think too much or over analyze, especially when watching BIG pictures. Thank goodness for curses! Thinking this through, Rose's action is an unintentional bummer, and depressing comment on the naivete, and temporal nature of "eternal" love. And what about the pyramids? Treasure-hunters, or rather, tomb-robbers, persevere and don't have a lot of respect for romance, except for its droppings. Hanging gardens of Babylon? Library at Alexandria? All gone. Consider architectural preservation battles, or how many art treasures have been lost or destroyed throughout history. Just because you make a grand gesture doesn't mean someone's not going to come along and clean it up after you, and sort of blow it, sooner or later. Practically, this doesn't make that much sense sooner or later Brock's probably going to find it unless some big fish eats it first, and she's gotta know that. Worse, though, she's letting Brock and other divers and would-be treasure-hunters have it. Maybe Rose wanted to avoid all those legal inheritance issues and battles could be simple as that. So, here's a priceless blue diamond, and she tosses it over the side - what is that about? Her family, who she may well have lied to for years, shouldn't benefit from her story? Endow a woman's college or something, for crying out loud! The survivors or family of people who perished on the Titanic shouldn't benefit? Or perhaps even Cal's heirs, who were left with nothing when he offed himself after the 1929 crash, they should be stuck with the sins of their father? (After all, Cal did give her his coat, and the necklace was inside the pocket - you'd think she'd have forgiven him, by now). My mom would send my kids $10 checks for their birthdays - sometimes. I don't know any old ladies who aren't downright cheap, when it comes down to it. It seemed inconsistent with her character.

I mean, c'mon, she knows firsthand you can't take it with you, and yet, she was trying. Sure, she had a good time - she became an actor, raised babies, flew planes, went on roller coasters, and rode horses "like a man" - all that might've addled her brain, and made her much less practical about these kinds of things than I would have thought, given her spunky streak. It will contribute to taking us into a healthcare system that delivers value, is a pleasure to work within, and relieves the taxpayers’ burden.I wondered this myself when I first saw the movie, and it really bugged me - I just didn't get it. Many suggest that a technology sea change is needed with a second generation of EHRs developed on 21 st century architectures that more closely match the flexibility and power of mobile and web-based applications available in the general marketplace.īuilding on the success of its previous three editions, this book will guide healthcare professionals as they confront the technical, organizational, and management issues related to the selection, implementation, and management of healthcare information systems. It outlines the issues of EHR adoption under MU and, as anticipated gains in efficiency, quality and costs have not always been seen, it also provides a framework within which solutions to the frustration, dissatisfaction, and growing concerns can be found. This 4 th Edition of Healthcare Information Management Systems: Cases, Strategies, and Solutions has been thoroughly updated, as concepts such as Meaningful Use (MU), interoperability, personalized medicine and health IT have had a considerable impact on patient safety and health outcomes. This book provides a bold and honest description of the current state of electronic health record (EHR) technologies in acute and primary care settings, and looks at the future through the lens of emerging new technologies, changes in care delivery models and reimbursement policies.
