Since "Titanic movie" was released 25 years ago, a debate has arisen about a crucial scene at the end that has become almost as iconic as the film itself.
Now, director James Cameron hopes to put an end to speculation definitively that Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) could have survived after the sinking of the infamous ocean liner if only his beloved Rose (Kate Winslet) had dragged himself a little into the fluctuation. the door that kept her out of the icy waters that eventually claimed so many lives. (It's an enigma that has attracted commentary from Hollywood moguls such as Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, as well as Winslet herself in the past).
Cameron said he conducted a "forensic" study to show that the door could not have sustained them both.
"We did a scientific study to put all this aside and stick a stake in your heart once and for all," Cameron told The Toronto Sun on Friday.
"Since then, we've done a thorough forensic analysis with a hypothermia expert who reproduced the film shelf," he continued, adding that they used "two stuntmen who had the same body mass as Kate and Leo and put sensors in all of them. and inside them and we put them in icy water and tested them to see if they could have survived through various methods and the answer was, there was no way the two had survived."
"Only one could survive, " said Cameron.
According to Cameron, the study will be the subject of a special for National Geographic, scheduled for the relaunch of the 25th anniversary of "Titanic" in 4K. Although, the network has yet to reveal details.
Cameron, who previously commented on an episode of "Mythbusters" that explored whether Jack had to die, ended up reducing everything to an artistic decision.
"No, he needed to die," Cameron said in the new interview. "It's like Romeo and Juliet. It's a film about love, sacrifice, and mortality. Love is measured by sacrifice."
The filmmaker of "Avatar: Way of Water" added that his hope with the new "Titanic" special and the scene of Jack's death is that "maybe... perhaps... after 25 years, I don't have to deal with it anymore." ."
