Since several years, the famous climax scene of ‘Titanic’ (1997) has come under the scanner with many believing that Rose (Kate Winslet) could have saved Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) from dying. To prove that he was right, director James Cameron even conducted a scientific test on whether Jack could have survived the ship’s sinking if only Rose had moved over on the door.
According to Deadline, we got to know that Kate Winslet had previously talked on this topic and had revealed that both possibly could have only put their feet on the wooden door. Now, after James Cameron’s statement, Kate had an outburst in an interview by recalling her suffering days, when she was being body-shamed for the particular scene.
On the occasion of ‘Titanic’s twenty-fifth anniversary today, December 19, Kate shared to the Happy Sad Confused podcast, “I don’t f***ing know. That’s the answer. I don’t f***ing know. Look, all I can tell you is, I do have a decent understanding of water and how it behaves.”
“If you put two adults on a stand-up paddleboard, it becomes immediately, extremely unstable. That is for sure. I have to be honest. I actually don’t believe that we would have survived if we had both gotten on that door. I think he would have fit, but it would have tipped and it would not have been a sustainable idea”, Winslet further explained.
Netizens can be still seen constantly debating on social media that Jack could have clambered aboard the wooden door and potentially saved himself from his dramatic hypothermic drowning after the ship’s sinking.
While talking about her being body-shamed, Kate opened up about the cruel treatment she received from media that time and how it made her very upset as she was at her very young age.
She shared, “Apparently, I was too fat. Isn’t it awful? Why were they so mean to me? They were so mean. I wasn’t even f***ing fat. If I could turn back the clock, I would have used my voice in a completely different way. I would have said to journalists, I would have responded, I would have said, ‘Don’t you dare treat me like this. I’m a young woman, my body is changing, I’m figuring it out, I’m deeply insecure, I’m terrified, don’t make this any harder than it already is.’ That’s bullying, you know, and actually borderline abusive, I would say.”
