(Or maybe dies, and reunites with Jack? That’s my interpretation for sure, but some people definitely see it differently.) Then she goes back to bed and dreams of 1912. She had it all along as a keepsake of her doomed romance with young pauper Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), and didn’t tell Brock, his crew, or her adult granddaughter Lizzy (Suzy Amis), who’s also on the salvage boat. In the theatrical ending, 1996 Rose slips out of bed after the story is over and quietly pulls the Heart of the Ocean out of her pocket and throws it into the sea. After finding a drawing of a nude woman wearing the Heart of the Ocean in the Titanic safe where they expected to find the diamond, they track down the subject of the painting, elderly socialite Rose (Gloria Stuart), to fill them in on her time on the Titanic in 1912 (when she was played by Kate Winslet).
James Cameron frames Titanic as a treasure hunt, where in 1996, salvager Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) and his crew are searching for “the Heart of the Ocean,” a massive blue diamond built into a necklace that supposedly went down with the Titanic. Tasha: Let’s start with a quick rundown on the two versions we’re debating here. Opening statements: Titanic’s ending, momentarily explained So we’re here to present our evidence and decide: Is the alternate ending of Titanic better than the original? But are the audiences lining up to see Titanic again actually missing out?Īt Polygon, we’re split. Many argue Cameron made the right choice, and avoided sinking the movie’s final emotional beat. It’s a testimony to the power of Titanic’s central love story and disaster movie thrills that even with the movie readily available for home viewing, fans are still willing to go see it again in theaters.īut one thing they won’t get in theaters is a chance to see the alternate ending of Titanic, a longer and more detailed cut that Cameron ultimately trimmed down to the minimalist version in the theatrical edit. While James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water has passed Titanic on the list of all-time top-grossing movies, his 1997 Oscar-winner recently got a boost from a 25th-anniversary theatrical rerelease that played to sold-out theaters and earned the film another $50 million worldwide.
