James Cameron, writer-director-producer of best picture Oscar winner Titanic, has again denied a claim perennially put forth by fans: that there was room for Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) to climb aboard the floating door holding Rose (Kate Winslet) and avoid death by hypothermia following the shipwreck in the North Atlantic.
奥斯卡最佳影片奖得主《泰坦尼克号》的编剧兼导演兼制片人詹姆斯·卡梅隆再次否认了影迷们长期以来提出的一个说法：杰克（莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥饰）北大西洋沉船事故后有空间承载着露丝（凯特·温斯莱特饰）的浮动门板，避免体温过低死亡。
Stating that "it says on page 147 (of the script) that Jack dies", Cameron, 63, told Vanity Fair, "Obviously it was an artistic choice, (that) the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him". Finding it "silly, really, that we're having this discussion 20 years later", the filmmaker pointed out that, "Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless…So whether it was that, or whether a smokestack fell on him, he was going down".
63岁的卡梅隆在接受《名利场》采访时表示：“（剧本）第147页上写着杰克去世了，显然这是一种艺术选择，门板只够容纳露丝，而不足以容纳杰克”。这位电影制作人指出：“20年后我们进行这种讨论真的很愚蠢，如果他活着，电影的结局就没有意义了……所以，无论是这样，还是烟囱落在他身上，他都会倒下”。
He added he believed the physics were correct as well. "I was in the water with the piece of wood putting people on it for about two days getting it exactly buoyant enough so that it would support one person with full free-board, meaning that she wasn't immersed at all in the 28 degree water, so that she could survive the three hours it took until the rescue ship got there…And we very, very finely tuned it to be exactly what you see in the movie because I believed at the time, and still do, that that's what it would have taken for one person to survive".
他补充说，他相信物理学也是正确的。“我在水里用一块木头把人放在上面大约两天，让它漂浮起来足以支撑一个人完全自由航行，这意味着她根本没有浸入28度的水中，这样她就可以在救援船到达那里之前度过三个小时……我们非常非常精细地调整了它，使其与你在电影中看到的完全一样，因为我当时相信，现在仍然相信，这就是一个人生存所需要的”。
Winslet and fellow Titanic star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise, with Bates at the SAG AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov. 9 introducing Winslet by saying, ''He lets go of her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic. And I personally think that there was plenty of room on there"! Winslet agreed, telling the audience lightheartedly, "He could have fit on it! He could have fit on that door"! She similarly said on Jimmy Kimmel Live in February 2016 that Jack "could have actually fitted on that bit of door".
11月9日，在SAG AFTRA基金会第二届年度艺术家奖颁奖典礼上，温斯莱特和同伴《泰坦尼克号》明星凯西·贝茨表示情况并非如此：“他放开了她的手，沉入大西洋深处。我个人认为那里有足够的空间！”温斯莱特表示同意，并轻松地告诉观众：“他本可以待在门板上！”2016年2月，她在吉米·金梅尔直播节目中同样表示，杰克“实际上可以待在那扇门上”。
As far back as 2012, Cameron told 1GN. com, "It's not a question of room. It's a question of buoyancy…It's clear that there's really only enough buoyancy available for one person…She's completely out of the water on the raft, and…If he got on with her, they'd both be half in and half out of the water…And they would have both died of hypothermia".
早在2012年，卡梅伦就告诉1GN.com：“这不是空间的问题。这是浮力的问题……很明显，只够一个人的浮力……她在门板上完全脱离了水面，而且……如果他俩一起，他们都会一半在水里，一半在水外……他们都会死于体温过低”。
As well, he had told The Daily Beast in January, "You read page 147 of the script and it says, 'Jack gets off the board and gives his place to her so that she can survive'. It's that simple".
此外，他在一月份已经告诉过《每日野兽报》：“你读了剧本的第147页，上面写着，‘杰克离开门板，把自己的位置让给她，这样她才能活下来’。就这么简单”。
Referring to a 2012 episode of Discovery's MythBusters in which he gamely guest-starred, Cameron told the website, "You're Jack, you're in water that's 28 degrees, your brain is starting to get hypothermia. MythBusters asks you to now go take off your life vest, take hers off, swim underneath this thing, attach it in some way that it won't just wash out two minutes later-which means you're underwater tying this thing on in 28-degree water, and that's going to take you five to 10 minutes, so by the time you come back up you're already dead. So that wouldn't work. His best choice was to keep his upper body out of the water and hope to get pulled out by a boat or something before he died."
谈到2012年探索频道的《流言终结者》，卡梅隆勇敢客串的一集，他告诉该网站：“你是杰克，你在28度的水中，你的大脑开始陷入低温。《流言终结者》要求你现在脱下你的救生衣，脱下她的，在门板下面游泳，以某种方式将它固定，两分钟后它不会被冲走，这意味着你在水下，在28度水中把门板绑住，这需要你花5到10分钟，所以当你结束时，你已经死了。所以这是行不通的。他最好的选择是让自己的上半身离开水面，并希望在死前被船或其他什么东西拖出来。”
