James Cameron, who directed three of the four highest-grossing films of all time, has no regrets. But if I could repeat titanica movie that started its record-breaking streak 25 years ago and is back in theaters, there are some things I would change.

On the occasion of the return to the big screens of this blockbuster, already in the anniversary issue, the Canadian director admitted that he would have perceived the plot differently if he could have foreseen the indignation of fans upset Jack’s tragic death at the end of the film.

“With what I know now, I would make the raft smaller so there is no doubt!” he said with a laugh at the film’s anniversary press conference.

The popularity of the film is such that there are still disputes about the fate of the protagonist, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Fans insist that Jack could have survived in the cold waters of the North Atlantic after the ocean liner sank. All he had to do was jump on a makeshift raft to save his love, Rose, played by Kate Winslet.

Instead, he decides that the gate Rose is swimming through isn’t big enough for the two of them and sacrifices himself to keep her alive.

The controversy surrounding Jack’s death is just one example of how the story of the Titanicthere seems to be no end to the publicCameron said.

“Since the time of the Titanic and its sinking caused by a collision with an iceberg in 1912, there have been much more serious tragedies,” he added, referring to the two world wars that marked the 20th century. “But Titanic has this enduring, almost mythical, romantic quality.”

“I think it has to do with love and sacrifice and death,” the director added, pointing to “men who didn’t get into lifeboats to save women and children.”

final verdict

Cameron put Jack’s individual victim to the test in a new National Geographic documentary showing experiments with an ice-cold water tank with two doppelgangers and a replica of the door used for filming.

IN Titanic: 25 years laterthe two doppelgangers who took on the roles of Jack and Rose were equipped with multiple thermometers to measure the rate at which they would fall prey to hypothermia. Experience has shown that Jack’s tragic fate was not inevitable..

The first test, where Jack clings to the door without climbing on it like in the movie, confirms that he would have died of hypothermia. But the second test, in which Jack and Rose manage to balance on the door without their torsos, and therefore their vital organs, ending up in the water, suggests that Jack could have been saved.

In this scenario, “I could hold out until the lifeboat arrived,” Cameron admitted. “Final verdict? Jack might have survived. But there are many variables,” he added.
