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 outlet Toronto Sun during the promotion in Canada of his new film, Avatar: The Way of Water, to put an end to complaints that have been heard for more than two decades about why Rose (Kate Winslet ) did not make room for Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) in the table that saved his life.
In that famous scene, Rose and Jack let go of each other's hands so that he ends up sinking into the depths of the sea.
Although Cameron has explained on numerous occasions that Jack's death was necessary for narrative reasons, the director assured in the interview that he will now prove why Jack could not have gotten out of that situation alive.
"We have carried out a scientific study to put an end to this whole matter and end it once and for all," declared the filmmaker.
The director announced that to carry out the investigation they recreated the raft from the film to carry out an "exhaustive 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 cold water and tested if they could have survived through various methods and the answer was that there was no way they would both survive. Only one could survive," Cameron said.
The result of the analysis will be ready in February 2023 and will be released as a "little special" that will be available on National Geographic.
The documentary will accompany the worldwide theatrical re-release of "Titanic" for its restoration in 4k, on Valentine's Day.
