The British transatlantic film not only marked an entire generation of cinema, but “Titanic” is one of the most awarded films in history and 25 years after its release, fans are still unaware of curious facts about the American film.
“Titanic,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, was written and directed by film legend James Cameron. The film premiered on December 19, 1997 and won a total of 91 awards, including 11 Oscars and four Golden Globes, published De 10.

Ten unknown facts about the movie Titanic
1. Why does Jack die?
The main and most questioned fact by moviegoers is why Jack dies, if the table where Rose manages to save herself could fit both. Cameron explained succinctly in an interview that “it’s very, very simple: you read page 147 of the script and it says, ‘Jack gets off the board and gives her place to her so he can survive.’ It’s that easy”.
2. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet weren’t going to be in the movie
The pair that embodied Jack and Rose were not the first choices of actors for the leading roles. Gwyneth Paltrow and Matthew McConaughey were the artists rumored to have the roles, but they did not accept the proposal.
3. The most iconic phrase from the movie
Jack celebrates with his friend Fabrizio as they board the ship after winning the tickets in a poker game. The character played by DiCaprio expresses: “I am the king of the world” and James Cameron told the BBC that this phrase was said impromptu.
“It was made up on the spot. She was in a crane basket and we were losing power. I signaled for him to say that, open his arms, live in the moment, love it and celebrate it. But you have to sell it!” she explained.
4. Kate Winslet “forced” James Cameron to give her the role
The actress practically forced the filmmaker to let her play Rose. Winslet told Cameron that “I just have to do this and if you don’t pick me, you’re going to be very upset.”
After refusing several times, the “Terminator” writer-producer admitted that after the audition, he sent her flowers with a note signed: “To Rose.”
5. Lindsey Lohan was going to appear in “Titanic”
The girl Cora, who dances with Leonardo DiCaprio on the boat was going to be Lohan. The director ruled her out because her red hair looked a lot like Rose and her mother Ruth hers, according to Cosmopolitan.
One of the hardest deleted scenes from Titanic is the death of Cora, the third-class girl who has a crush on Jack.

6. James Cameron acted in the movie without being noticed
Although it is hard to believe, in the scene where Jack draws Rose naked, it was not Leonardo, but James Cameron. The director himself drew the sketch shown in the film and signed with the initials of JD (Jack Dawson), the character played by DiCaprio.
7. During filming, the actors were drugged
After a very long day of filming, the actors and part of the production team began to feel strange. Some with stomach upsets, others vomiting and others simply mood swings.
They all ingested lobster bisque containing PCP, (phencyclidine), a dissociative drug that causes hallucinogenic and neurotoxic effects, Bill Paxton told Entertainment Weekly.
8. The water wasn’t as cold as it looks in the movie.
The water definitely couldn’t be as cold as it looked in the movie. “It was about 80 degrees, so it was really like a swimming pool. All the cold, frigid breath was added later,” Cameron explained to People.
9. Leonardo DiCaprio was annoyed by the long work hours
The actor, despite the fact that he was just beginning his successful career, behaved like a star. Both Cameron and some castmates say that DiCaprio was annoyed by the long days of filming.
10. The elderly who die hugging and lying down, it was real
Actors Lew Palter and Elsa Raven, who passed away in 2020, starred in one of the saddest scenes in “Titanic.” The interpreters embodied a couple who died in the sinking of the British liner in the same way. (AND)
