Los Angeles (USA), December 16 (EFE).- Twenty-five years after the premiere of “Titanic”, its director, James Cameron, is preparing a documentary that scientifically explains that it was impossible for Jack to survive.
This was explained by Cameron in statements to the Canadian media Toronto Sun during the promotion in Canada of his new film, “Avatar: The Way of Water”, to put an end to the complaints he has heard for more than two decades about the why Rose (Kate Winslet) didn’t make room for Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) on the table that saved her life.
In this famous scene, Rose and Jack let go of each other’s hands so that he would eventually sink into the depths of the sea.
Although Cameron has repeatedly explained that Jack’s death was necessary for narrative reasons, the director assured in the interview that he will now prove why Jack couldn’t have made it out alive.
“We conducted a scientific study to end this whole affair and end it once and for all,” said the filmmaker.
The director announced that to complete the investigation, they recreated the raft from the film to perform an “extensive forensic analysis” with a hypothermia expert.
“We used two doppelgangers who had the same body mass as Kate and Leo and we put sensors all over them. We put them in ice water and tested if they could have survived by various methods and the response was that there was no way they could both survive. Only one could survive,” Cameron said.
The result of the analysis will be ready in February 2023 and will be the subject of a “little special” which will be available on National Geographic.
The documentary will accompany the worldwide theatrical re-release of “Titanic” for its 4k restoration on Valentine’s Day.
