Kate Winslet And Stephen Colbert Fix The Ending To ‘Titanic’!
In honour of Titanic‘s 20th anniversary (the movie, not the real event…obviously), Kate Winslet let a few secrets slip to Stephen Colbert & even recreated one of the most iconic (and questionable) scenes:
Though “Jack” survived this time around, Director James Cameron recently shared exactly why he couldn’t have survived at the end:
“Obviously it was an artistic choice, the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him. I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die. Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless. The film is about death and separation; he had to die. So whether it was that, or whether a smoke stack fell on him, he was going down. It’s called art, things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons.”
