Some of the most intense movie debates I've had revolved around the possibility of Jack surviving in Titanic. Could he really fit on that door with Rose? And even if he could, would the door's buoyancy have kept them both afloat?
As far as I was concerned, there was definitely room on that door, although it wouldn't have mattered because the extra weight would've caused it to tip over. But I'm not here to rehash that debate. Rather, I've just learned an interesting behind-the-scenes detail, and quite frankly, I feel like a child who discovered that the Tooth Fairy isn't real.
Allow me to explain: Earlier this week, Kate Winslet, who played Rose in the film, chatted about the pivotal Titanic scene while attending an advance screening of her new movie, Lee, in New York. And according to the 48-year-old star, the water was nowhere near as deep as it appeared to be in the movie. It was, in fact, a shallow tank, which made it easy for Winslet to step out and go to the bathroom while filming.
Per People, Winslet said, "Well, that was quite an awkward tank...because to burst the bubble, it was waist height at that time." Um, what?
