Director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron is going to prove that there was no way Jack (Leonardo ꦺDiCaprio) w🌠ould have survived alongside Rose (Kate Winslet) at the end of Titanic.

"Maybe I didn’t do [Jack’s sacrifice] in a way that everyone agrees wꦡith, but Jack had to die. It’s that simple. If I have to make the raft a little bit smaller, I’ll make it smaller," Cameron told the , with perhaps more than a knowing nod to the perpetual debate over whether Jack and Rose could have both fit on the makeshift raft after the sinking of the Titanic.

"Incidentally, we have since done a thorough forensic analysis with a hypothermia expert, reproducing the raft from the movie. We’re🌌 going to do a special that comes out in February: we took two stunt people that were the exact body match of [Kate Winslet] and [Leonardo DiCaprio] and put sensors all over them and inside them. We tested to see if they could have survived by this method, or that m꧒ethod. The answer was: there was no way they could both survive.”

So, James Cameron has gone to extreme lengths to settle what has long been regarded as one of cinema’s biggest ‘plot holes’ – despite being addressed in the movie itself 🦋when Jack attempts to get on the floating door with Rose. Seriously, watch the movie again.
