Cameron’s Titanic is like a myth, like an ancient story told in 1912, but with a latter 20th century sensibility. That was the genius of the film, that Jack and Rose were like 90s teenagers in an Edwardian world. It made it feel relevant to the youth, that’s why it became a communal worldwide phenomenon.
Yeah it kind of freaked me out when he implied less sets, more cgi. I’m sure he could make it look great, but ultimately the real set is always going to look better. It’s what made the film look so incredible and unique
I still remember chuckling at reading James Cameron saying that he would have just made the damn wooden panel smaller that Rose was on, when he and Jack were lying in the water after Titanic had sank. Concerning the discussion that followed whether 'Jack could or could have not fit on the door'. Knowing eventually of course Jack didn't make it, but Rose did. Sharing it as his greatest regret whilst filming Titanic, including for it is such an evidently pointless discussion and that it diverts attention away from the true beauty of the film. And I agree.
People continually fail to realise that if Jack had survived, the story’s logic would fail and also would romanticise the ship’s sinking in a distasteful way. Jack’s death is meant to feel preventable yet unfortunate as the entire ship’s sinking.
@@logosandopenings Thanks for your addition. Well, as Cameron said to Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters: _"in the script it says on page 147 that Jack dies"_ ... and they had to agree on that. Referring to Cameron's artistic and creative vision for the film, which goes beyond what we as humans observe and see as reason and logic. That aside, I can fully understand where the disagreement with Jack's death stems from. After all, he is a 100% fictional character. But those who disagree also include feminists, who claim Rose was just being a "damsel in distress" when she was laying on the wooden panel and let Jack die in the cold water. Not to forget, viewers in general who found Jack's death to be a bit over-dramatic. Concerning his final moments in the water and descent to the bottom of the ocean floor. Keep in mind that Brock's assistance, Lewis Bodine, on board the Keldysh, said for a reason Rose was a professional actress in the 1920s. The elder Rose would *know* a thing or two about dramatization. Not to forget that Cameron has a history with science-fiction etc.
So cool to see Cameron's Queen alien statue in the back left corner. He literally designed that creature and now it's a part of my life inspiration and passion.
@@southlondon86 It's really unfortunate that this entire art form is being publicly defined by only the poorest examples of it. Just like any other creative tool, CGI can be done well or badly depending on who's wielding it and how much time the studios give the vfx artists. Sadly the best CGI is so good that it's invisible. Did you like Top Gun: Maverick? It had over 2400 VFX shots! That's more than any modern Star Wars movie (Rogue One had 1500). Neither the F-14 or stealth bomber were real, and almost every exterior jet shot included extensive CG modifications to the planes, their position in the sky, and with actors digitally cut out and moved to different positions in the cockpit. There’s no shame in vfx, if done well. Cinema is artifice by nature, so any tool that helps achieve verisimilitude should be celebrated. Tom Cruise & Co’s “real & practical” narrative felt disrespectful to all the vfx artists who were gagged from promoting their work on TGM last year.
To be fair, from what I understand, an officer likely did shoot themselves that night-there's just too many testimonials for it to be coincidence/editorializing. With that said, I do wish he didn't portray Murdoch as accepting Cal's bribe. But the suicide itself, to me, is a scene of regret and anguish, over having shot two men in a moment of panic, and perhaps over feelings of responsibility for the collision. And I'm sure it was out of fear as well, it's a very human moment in my opinion. No matter what though, Murdoch was a hero that night.
very wise words by Cameron. What loves to mean people ? is putting through that exercise and not a Hallmark card romance. I think love has become too easy these days. Probably that is why romcoms are dead. People just are not willing to accept that concept that love can be hard and challenging. I hope people re-watch Titanic in its re-release.
There's a fan edit with all the deleted scenes. Although some of them are nice and help the story flow naturally, there's other scenes that I'm thankful he did not include in the vinal version, specially the fight between Jack and Lovejoy after Cal almost shoot them, and the extended ending with old Rose being caught seconds before dropping the heart of the ocean on the sea, following by a ridiculous dialogue. I think the only scene I can think that actually could make a difference was when Bruce Ismay entered the Carpathia under the harsh looks of the survivors. And maybe another scene when Titanic is sending distress signals to nearby ships by radio, and the radio operators of the Californian (I belie believe that's the ship's name) told Titanic operators to shut up, annoyed by the sudden interruption. That actually happened and was crucial to the fateful ending, since this ship could have made to the Titanic much faster than Carpathia.
@@AlternativaRealidade I'd love to see a version with only the "good" deleted scenes left in-especially all of the historical vignettes (most notably Captain Smith attempting to call back lifeboat no. 6!) Still, I think Cameron edited himself very well, and it's hard to complain when you look at the final product, which is a practically perfect film imo.
Dear James Cameron,I really want to be an avatar I learned lines and watched both movies mutlipul times I would have to be a younger avatars one of the kids for your movie Ty
I know what I'd change; the ENTIRE Jack & Rose storyline which has grown to become dated (with VERY poor acting). Reminds me a lot of the 20th Century 1953 movie "Titanic" that involved a family scandal which today, REALLY dates the film, making it difficult to watch. Timeless Titanic movie = 1958 A Night to Remember. (Even the 1979 movie SOS Titanic is easier to watch).
@CT No, nothing like that. It was a domestic scandal where the wife was fleeing to Mackinac Michigan with her two kids and the father gets on board on the last min. Later we learn the son isn't his .... very dated. Scandal for 1953 ... but .... lol
@@Napp28 Oh that's interesting. Yeah that seems like a more dated plot point. But I have heard Cameron's version borrows a lot more from '53 then one would think.
@@ct6852 the plot of the 1953 version is EXTREMELY dated to the point that it almost makes the movie difficult to watch. Ironically, Cameron's version borrows a great deal from the earlier 1943 German version (some scenes are lifted DIRECTLY out of the film such as when Rose breaks the glass to access a fire axe etc) The 1958 version A Night To Remember is timeless as it only tells the story of the sinking using eye witness accounts and passengers who were there. No fluff, no false drama - just the storyline. Id like to see someone with video editing talent remove the Jack and Rose scenario from the 97 film - that would make for a legitimate Titanic movie.

Very good Observation, especially that it was 1912 done with mega high tech in 1998.
Saw this the other day in 3-D-haven’t seen the movie since 97- and it blew me away completely! One of the best movies Hollywood has ever produced
I watched ‘Titanic’ one time & thought it was perfect.
music transports me back, iconic score
Watched it like 10 times and think it is Perfect still 😀
I think the film was better for having been made in that era of special effects. Not sure it would resonate as much with more cgi.
This comment! 🙌🏻

@@rsb8380 The Abyss and some parts of the first Terminator are the only ones that may have benefited from more CGI imo. But only the alien parts.
James Cameron would make it work. He handles CGI better than anyone.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FILM EVER MADE...

thank god he did it in the early ages of cgi
Exactly! It would have looked like some dumb superhero movie if it was made today.

He has a figurine of the Aliens queen in the background.. He's such a legend
Murdoch’s death? Maybe?

@@comradebeandipYeah but there's no proof he ever shoot innocent passengers that night
No one knows what happened to Murdoch there was no documented accounts of what happened to him
Thank you James for this amazing movie❤
Jack was toxic as fuck love bombing Rose 🥀
he's such a legend
Can't wait for the 4K version on bluray!!!
How about a directors cut with the deleted scenes inserted, could be a 4 hr 30min movie

This is a very intelligent answer.

The one thing I don’t get is jack kisses her hand is like I saw that once on nickolodeon how does that make sense since nick wasnr created till 1979
