James Cameron finally drowned DiCaprio in Titanic: "He had to die"
Director James Cameron once again tried to put an end to the discussion about why the main character of the film "Titanic" Rose performed by Kate Winslet allowed her lover Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), although there was enough space for both of them on the doors on which she was.
"The answer is very simple: because the 147th page of the script says that Jack is dies. It is very simple ... Obviously, it was an artistic technique: the door was large enough to withstand it, and not large enough to withstand it ... In fact, it seems quite stupid to argue about all this 20 years later - but this is an indicator that the picture managed to inspire such love for Jack, what it hurts, but if it would die. He survived, the ending of the film would be meaningless, ”the Vanity Fair magazine translated by Intermedia .
As the director added, “this picture is about death and separation; he had to die. Therefore, regardless of how it would happen, he would have died or a smoke pipe to him - he would have gone to the bottom in any case. This is called art for artistic reasons, and not according to the laws of physics.”
Cameron said that during the filming of the final scene of the picture, he, together with other members of the team, for several days tested different pieces of wood for strength and floating, choosing the one that could keep one person afloat in the ice water before the arrival of the rescue team.
Recall, five years ago, the Popular-Popular Transfer team "Destroyers of Legends" on the Discovery channel proved that Jack Dawson died due to his own inconsistency. The experiments showed that if Rose took off her life jacket and the lovers put him under an impromptu raft, the hero of DiCaprio could climb the door and escape from hypothermia.
"It seems to me that you forget something. According to Jack, you died. And maybe we screwed up, and the snack should have been smaller, but he would have gone to the bottom in any case," Cameron said then to the researchers.
James Cameron, who was released in 1997, had a phenomenal success. The film was headed by the box office of North America for 15 weeks, collecting $ 1.8 billion in cinemas.
