It’s a simple shot as the camera pans the bedside table in the room and the movie audience is treated to a view of many framed photographs showing the adventurous life that Rose led. Pictures of her standing by a prop plane, riding atop a beautiful horse on the beach and traveling to far off lands. That scene only lasts about 25 seconds, but for me it represents a life truly lived. Having survived the sinking of the Titanic and the loss of the man she had fallen for, Rose did not spend her days doing what a proper young lady should do. Instead she sought all sorts of adventures and experiences. That line up of photos symbolized a person who had taken risks, has seen the world, and who also enjoyed life up until the very end.
Right now these are the pictures that I look at on a daily basis. Behold! The view of my cubicle wall.
