James Cameron Admits Jack Could Survive In Titanic, See HOW

James Cameron has scientifically analyzed whether there was room for Jack and Rose on that door in Titanic.

Titanic is one of the most iconic films of all time. Directed by James Cameron, the film garnered praise from all over the world. However, Titanic one film attracted controversy. Even after 25 years, fans think that Jack could have been saved. For over two decades, fans of the film have wondered if Rose, played by Kate Winslet and Jack aka Leonardo DiCaprio would have had a chance of living happily ever after, had she just made a little room on the door, and he would not have died after floating for hours in the freezing water.

Recently, Cameron has scientifically analyzed whether there was room for both Jack and Rose or not. In a new National Geographic special, Titanic: 25 Years Later With James Cameron, the filmmaker recreated the scene by considering four scenarios. In a video from the series shared on Good Morning America, Cameron breaks down how he, two stunt people in Rose and Jack’s roles, and scientists, test four different scenarios.

In the first scenario, Cameron and the scientists have the stunt people both get on the door. However, they are submerged in below-freezing water, proving that wouldn’t work. Considering the other one, the stunt actors are positioned with both of their bodies out of the water. As a result, violent shaking occurred, and it was determined Jack could have made it for hours.

Meanwhile, in the third scenario, the stunt actors perform the actual fight sequence done by Jack and Rose in the moments leading up to Rose getting on the door, showing how tired they would have actually been when it was time to make the decision. Rose then offers a life jacket to stabilize Jack, as he joins her. Still, his body would have had to recover from some sort of shock, but he would have possibly survived for hours.
