The director says he commissioned a scientific study that showed it was impossible for the star's character to have survived the 'floating board' scene in Kate Winslet 's Rose

James Cameron says he has scientifically proven html Leonardo DiCaprio 's Jack could not have survived the 'floating board' scene Kate Winslet's Rose played in Titanic .

In an interview with Postmedia, Cameron said he had commissioned "a scientific study to address the entire issue and drive a stake through its heart once and for all". Jack's fate has been widely discussed since the film's release in 1997. The ill-fated ocean liner was built in Belfast, and Rose escaped the catastrophic sinking by climbing onto a plank, while Jack died of hypothermia in the icy sea because the plank was said to be unable to bear his weight.

Cameron said: "We've done a thorough forensic analysis with a cryogenics expert who recreated the raft from the film... We took two stuntmen who weighed the same as Kate and Leonard and put sensors on and in them and then put them on In the icy water, they tested whether they could survive through various methods. The answer is that they can't all survive. "The results of the research will be published in the magazine "Titanic" when "Titanic" is re-released in February 2023."

According to Cameron, for the purposes of this story, Jack "had to die." "It's like Romeo and Juliet. It's a movie about love, sacrifice and death. Love is measured in sacrifice." "Titanic," released in 1997, became the highest-grossing film in history before being surpassed by Cameron's 2009 "Avatar." The film's sequel, Avatar: Waterpath, has just been released.
