Throughout the film Rose and Ruth’s strained relationship is well documented and in the final cut they eventually become estranged, as Rose changes her last name to Dawson in order to separate herself from her family.

The extended scene taken from the blockbuster seems to give even more context and gravity to their relationship, something that’s been recognised by fans of the film. It shows Ruth wandering through hordes of people looking for her daughter, becoming emotional as she pauses at a mother clinging to her little girl.

After being posted on YouTube by Titanic fan page Titanic World, users have been keen to share their theories behind what this moving extract conveys.

One YouTube user felt that the scene should have stayed put, commenting, “I think they should have kept this part because it shows their emotions after such a horrific event. Also, I always wondered what happened to Rose’s mom.”

Another noted the new depth the scene gave to the Rose and Ruth’s relationship, writing, “Seeing Rose’s mother at the end just kills me. Yeah, she was a bit prissy and stuck-up throughout most of the movie, but just then there was none of that. There was only a broken-hearted woman trying, against all hope, to find her daughter.”
