Other people have already said this, but hopefully I can take it a little further.  The tag line for the film is "Look Closer."  There are a lot of times in our everyday life when we feel like the dark weird things that happen are unique to ourselves.  They really aren't.  The point of this film is to show what looks like an average American family living in average suburbia and how dysfunctional they are to a fault.\n\nOne day the father (Kevin Spacey) snaps and decides to not let his life be ruled by the expectations of society.  Life is his and he wants to take it by the horns.  He goes on a tear and the first effects of this ripple throughout his family and his neighborhood.\n\nTo me (and I want to emphasize that my opinions should not be taken as law, we all make our own choices), the film is about peeling away the exterior we have been looking at all our lives and finding out what is really going on inside ourselves and others.\n\nSome people feel alone in their anxieties and self-perceived weirdness.  The tuth is, everyone has something they aren't showing the world.  I think this film is supposed to be a message to those who suffer in silence.\n\nJust my opinion

What nobody ever bothers to point-out is:\n\nJack & Rose CAUSE the freaking crash, in the first place! The lookouts were too busy, watching Leo get busy; to see the iceberg in time!\n\nAnd what's up with Rose, anyway?\n\nTrying to jump-off, while the boat is fine; then jumping back-on, when the boat is sinking?\n\nDumb!

It's a reference to General Sherman's "March to the sea."

Teddy Roosevelt said this many years ago and I beleive it is still very true today. I think that anyone should be welcomed to America so long as they respect American values. What language a person chooses to speak in their own homes is their choice, but every should AT LEAST know how to speak English and be able to navigate their way around the country without us having to post everything in several languages for them. \n\nMr. Roosevelt said the following in 1919.  What do you think?\n\n"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...\n\nThere can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."\n\n--Theodore Roosevelt, 1919

Hey,\n\nJack Dawson, Rose deWitt Bukator, Ruth deWitt Bukator, Cal Hockley, their maid Trudy, Brock Lovett, Rose's granddaughter Izzy.... all fictional for the purpose of the film.\n\nJohn Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, Sir Cosmo and Lucile Lady Duff Gordon, Molly Brown, Thomas Andrews, Bruce Ismay... all were real people. JJ Astor, Thomas Andrews, and Benjamin Giggenheim perished, Molly Brown was thrown into a lifeboat as it had just started to be lowered (instead of getting in with Ruth in the movie). Bruce Ismay did get into the boat the way he did, and apparently the Gordons bribed the seaman in charge of their boat to row away without more than about 20 people on board. they denied it in the inquiry.\n\ni hope this helped

Legend: This Legend of how "Kilroy was here" starts is with James J. Kilroy, a shipyard inspector during WWII. He chalked the words on bulkheads to show that he had been there and inspected the riveting in the newly constructed ship. To the troops in those ships, however, it was a complete mystery — all they knew for sure was that he had "been there first." As a joke, they began placing the graffiti wherever they (the US forces) landed or went, claiming it was already there when they arrived.\n\nKilroy became the US super-GI who always got there first — wherever GI's went. It became a challenge to place the logo in the most unlikely places. It was said to be atop Mt. Everest, the Statue of Liberty, the underside of the Arch de Triumphe, and scrawled in the dust on the moon. An outhouse was built for the exclusive use of Truman, Stalin, and Churchill who were there for the Potsdam conference. The first person to use it was Stalin. He emerged and asked his aide (in Russian), "Who is Kilroy?"\n\nWWII UDT (Under Water Demolition - later Navy Seals) divers swam ashore on Japanese held islands in the Pacific to prepare the beaches for the coming landings by US troops. They were sure to be the first GIs there! On more than one occasion, they reported seeing "Kilroy was here" scrawled on make shift signs or as graffiti on enemy pillboxes. They, in turn, often left similar signs for the next incoming GIs.\n\nThe tradition continued in every US military theater of operations throughout and following WWII.\n\nIn 1946 the Transit Company of America held a contest offering a prize of a real trolley car to the person who could prove himself to be the "real" Kilroy. Almost forty men stepped forward to make that claim, but James Kilroy brought along officials from the shipyard and some of the riveters to help prove his authenticity. James Kilroy won the prize of the trolley car which he gave it to his nine children as a Christmas gift and set it up in their front yard for a playhouse.

I personally don't think there's any reason to make fun of them. I'm American, so I guess we don't SEE any reason.\nMaybe it's because Leornardo DiCaprio played an Irishman in "Titanic" and didn't have an accent, I dunno...

If you are talking about the Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway is made the narrator because he is a reliable one. He tells us that he reserves all his judgments, therefore, the reader can believe what he is saying is coming from an objective point of view.\n\nSo why is this in the swimming and diving section?

Yes, that movie does a great job of showing what life might be like without immigrants (legal or illegal).  It's such complex issue, and people keep trying to boil it down to simple right vs. wrong.  As in many situations, right vs. wrong depends on what side you're on.

All the people above are wrong.\n\nI am Romanian, I think I should know.\n\nIt means "I come home with love."\n\nhaha, I love that song!

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be significant but maybe it's supposed to symbolize change and movement.  You know, like life goes on, no matter what.  Earlier in the movie, he catches a feather and keeps it, so it's like he's letting it go free.

It's  From "A Death in the Family" by James Agee.\nThe full quote is\n\n"How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. You can never go home again." \n\nIt's a story about a family dealing with the accidental death of the father.  See my source link to read more.\n\n(One interpretation:  Once you grow up and have your own life, even if you physically return to your childhood house, you can't return to that place of innocence and safety -- it's never "home" as it once was because you are a different person.)

I put it on the same level of, "stop and smell the roses".\n\nIt means, to me, slow down and enjoy what is around you.  You only get to pass this way once, don't miss it all.  Live is a journey, not a destination.\n\nOK that should give you some idea of my thoughts.  Good luck with your propaganda mill.
