Cal is jealous.
For a poor 3rd class passenger, Jack is a handsome and down to Earth man who could win girls over within a second lol.
Cal is just insecure and a coward, considering he killed himself during the Great Depression and all.
Cal was much more superficially attractive than the baby-faced Jack. Handsome, sophisticated, intelligent, capable of being charming and well-behaved when he felt like faking it! Aside from being a total asshole, he had much more to offer women than Jack, and had no reason to be jealous of a layabout who looked fourteen.
No, he wasn't jealous of Jack, just murderously angry at him.
Why did Cal wanna shoot Jack again????? Oh yeah cause Rose and making love to him instead of Cal lol
shareNeed a "like" button in this forum.. Otter nailed it.
shareSpot on Otter, as always.
Jack was a bum, like me. Cal however was a handsome, sophisticated American prince, although I'm not sure how 'intelligent' he was considering his philistine rejection of the Pablo Picasso art Rose so admired.
Hey, he was intelligent enough to get himself one of the few remaining spaces on a lifeboat during a disaster!
Give the man credit for being able to think on his feet.
He was good at self-preservation. I'm not sure that makes him smart. It made him a coward.
In the original screenplay for Batman Returns, the Ice Princess pushes an old lady to then found during the Red Triangle Circus Gang's first attack on Gotham Plaza, but I don't think that made her smart. Quite the contrary in fact. It made her a selfish, thoughtless coward.
Shoving doesn't make someone smart, and Cal didn't get on the boat by shoving. Many tried that, and failed, but Cal succeeded where they failed by a clever multi-step plan that involved bamboozling several people! Admit it, you couldn't come up with a series of convincing lies and improv performances if you were terrified for your life, and neither could anyone but a clever sociopath.
Give credit where it's due.
Do you know how I can give a post here the 'thumbs up' icon? :)
Suffice to say, you make an excellent point.
Lol how did he do that again. By lying as passing of a crying child as his own.
It was that little girl who saved him life. Since his "deal" to buy off a seat on a lifeboat failed.
Picasso sucks balls. Cal must be highly intelligent to reject it.
