Fine Cut with Alyson: Meera Vijayann

Alyson and Meera Vijayann (journalist who covers health and gender issues and the writer of beautiful micro essays on Instagram) discuss the iconic scene when Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) draws Rose (Kate Winslet) wearing only that blue diamond necklace in James Cameron’s Titanic. Meera dives deep into the experience of being a small town tween in India and the passionate reactions to Titanic and this scene. How the film resonated with an Indian audience because of the strong class elements of the film and also about Rose’s nudity, which is something they’d never seen before and how she had to watch the film multiple times before she actually saw that part without it being edited or fuzzed out. A fascinating conversation about how still, to this day, representations of female nudity divorced from judgements of morality are rare. And Meera reveals that Indian audiences just weren’t that bothered when Rose didn’t make room for Jack on that door. Come and have a listen and find out why!
