Long vexed by the 'Titanic' debate, filmmaker James Cameron concedes that Jack 'might have' survived the shipwreck — with a little help from Rose.
“Out of the water, with violent shaking helping him. He could’ve made it ... pretty long. Like hours,” the special-effects maestro says of one outcome, assuming the characters hadn’t been exhausted by hours of freezing shipwreck.
Another scenario, factoring in the physical strain the lead characters endured after their ship hit a glacier, and with Rose also offering Jack her life vest for insulation, ultimately led Cameron to believe there was a chance Jack could have survived.‘Apparently I was too fat,’ Winslet said of the discourse surrounding her breakout role in ‘Titanic.’ ‘I wasn’t even f— fat.’
“He’s stabilized, he got into a place where that if we projected that out, he just might have made it,” the director adds. “Jack might’ve lived. But there’s a lot of variables. I think his thought process was, ‘I’m not going to do one thing that jeopardizes her [survival],’ and that’s 100% in character.”
