James Cameron has finally answered the biggest burning question about Titanic’s ending, which has had fans bothered for years now. Many have debated that Jack could have survived if he had gotten on the raft with Rose. There have been mutliple analysis of the same. But what does Cameron think of this?
James Cameron will no longer entertain questions about Titanic’s ending
During his latest appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, the iconic Avatar director, James Cameron, delved into a variety of interesting things about his career and his movies.
But one particular topic in this podcast stole the limelight- the eternal debate about whether there was enough space in the raft for both Jack and Rose in Titanic. “Don’t ask me about the f***ing raft, people!” the 71-year-old director said.
“Look, we even went to the lengths of doing an experiment to see if Jack could have in any way survived, or if they could have both survived, and people didn’t even hear the answer when I told them the answer,” the director said. “The answer is, if Jack somehow was an expert in hypothermia and somehow knew what science now knows back in 1912, it is theoretically possible, with a lot of luck, that he might have survived,” he added.
The director, who won three Oscars for the film, set the record straight for the final time. He concluded, “Therefore, the answer is no, he could not have. There’s no way. The conditions were not met. He couldn’t have known those things.”
This question has been doing the rounds on the internet for years now. Many have tried to explain with images of the raft that Jack could have also fit on the raft. It seems now that the debate is finally over, with James Cameron weighing in on why Jack did not survive the film.
Titanic remains a culturally significant piece of cinema that has inspired generations.
