James Cameron hires forensic expert to prove Jack’s death

• Fans have long argued that Jack Dawson, the main character of Titanic, had to die.
• Forensic science has refuted this theory with the aid of computer analysis.
• He hired a forensic expert and stunt people.

James Cameron has come to the irrefutable conclusion that Jack Dawson, the main character of his romantic epic Titanic from 1997, had to die, with the aid of forensic science.

One of the most important discussions of our time is about to come to an end. A debate that raged for a quarter of a century around water coolers, in school yards, pubs, clubs, and bars has now been scientifically refuted.

In the movie’s dramatic conclusion, Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his lover Rose (Kate Winslet) are cast off into the frigid Atlantic Ocean when the doomed luxury liner sinks.

Jack clings onto the edge and speaks encouraging words to Rose as she struggles to get onto a wardrobe door in the water. As Rose allows Jack to enter the chilly, dark sea, he ultimately succumbs to the subzero temperatures and dies from exposure.

Fans have contended for years that Rose could have easily let Jack onto the door, saving both, just by virtue of buoyancy and the angle she was lying at.

But before Titanic’s 4K restoration debuts on Valentine’s Day in 2023, Cameron has taken efforts to disprove the fan idea and gone to the most James Cameron of lengths to prove it. He even filmed a video for National Geographic about the experiment.

Cameron thinks that the resolution provided in the special would allow fans to go on and allow him to “not have to deal with this” in the future. He hired a forensic expert and two stunt people who had bodies identical to the key characters of the movie. In an interview to promote his most recent film, Avatar: The Way of Water, Cameron stated: “We have done a scientific study to put this whole thing to rest and drive a stake through its heart once and for all.”

Further added:

We have since done a thorough forensic analysis with a hypothermia expert who reproduced the raft from the movie and we’re going to do a little special on it that comes out in February. We took two stunt people who were the same body mass of Kate and Leo and we put sensors all over them and inside them and we put them in ice water and we tested to see whether they could have survived through a variety of methods and the answer was, there was no way they both could have survived. Only one could survive.

Cameron went on to say that the almost mythological love connection between the two was strengthened by Jack’s passing.

Cameron stated: “It’s like Romeo and Juliet. It’s a movie about love and sacrifice and mortality. The love is measured by the sacrifice. Maybe after 25 years, I won’t have to deal with this anymore.”
