Why did the Titanic hero have to die? A scientific study ends the controversy

American director James Cameron settled the controversy over the validity of the scene of his famous movie "Titanic" by conducting a practical scientific study, confirming that only one of the two heroes in his tragic movie could have survived the disaster of the historic ship.

In an interview with the Toronto Sun published last Friday, the director of the 1997 film said that he wanted to end the controversy in this regard, so he conducted a forensic analysis on a similar version of the famous scene performed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet while they are swimming. In the frozen ocean waters after the famous shipwreck.

As everyone remembers, young hero Jack Dawson, DiCaprio's character, dies of hypothermia in the icy water, while Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) survives by lying on a piece of wood.

And fans of the movie have debated for decades whether the two characters could survive on the floating wooden door piece.

 Cameron said the study, which was conducted with the help of a hypothermia expert, concluded that only one person could have survived.

He revealed, “We took two stunt performers with the same body mass as Kate and Leo, put sensors all over and inside of them, put them in ice water, and tested them to see if they could survive through a variety of methods, and the answer was that there was no way they could both survive.” out alive.

Only one can survive.

After that, the famous American director confirmed, “He still does not regret” writing Jack’s sad death, and explained, “No, he needed to die.

It (the film) is like “Romeo and Juliet, it is a film about love, sacrifice and mortality” and “Love is measured by sacrifice.”

According to Weekly Entertainment, Cameron's experiment will air on the National Geographic Channel next year.

This will coincide with a re-release of "Titanic" in theaters over Valentine's Day weekend.

And the star Kate Winslet confirmed the same thing in a radio interview, when she answered the question of whether the wooden door piece could hold the two together in the same scene.

“If you put two adults on a stand-up paddle board, it would immediately become very unstable,” she said. “So the truth is, it was a door.

I have to be honest, I don't actually think we would have survived if we were both at the door.

I think it could have fit both of us but it would have tipped over eventually."
