Probably my favorite moment of “Titanic” is when we get to see how Rose lived the life she promised Jack she would have: Having a beautiful family, riding like a cowboy, becoming an actress…We understand everything that Rose overcame and what a strong, modern woman she is. The horse riding picture was always my favorite and the reason why I collected all the identical picture frames as seen in the movie scene. If you ever wondered how Rose’s life pictures were created and how Kate posed for those images you can check them out at Eric Rosenberg’s website, the artist who design the images for the movie. 💙

“You wanna go to a real party?!” In the movie the third class party is the moment when Rose breaks free and disappears with Jack for the night. While “the gravedigger of a man servant” Lovejoy searches for young Rose, she dances the night away with Jack and his friends. Cameron secretly had Leonardo DiCaprio master the third-class Polka choreography beforehand, keeping it a secret from Kate. Because she thought they were both learning the steps from scratch, her bewildered, frantic attempts to follow his lead and copy him on camera were entirely genuine. Kate later reflected fondly on these rehearsals, noting that her favorite part of filming Titanic was getting “thrown around on a hardwood dance floor” with the background extras, though she has also mentioned DiCaprio wasn’t quite as much of a fan of the intense dance sessions. 💙

How do you live on when so many had to die? The guilt of Titanic’s survivors cannot have been small. Those in the lifeboats forced to watch the sinking and the chaos of death around them probably never lived a day when they did not think about it. In Cameron’s storyline, fictional character Rose has something else to think of as well though. The promise that she gave to her Jack. A promise that would see her through hardships after the sinking. A promise that would make her strive to live a worthy life. A promise that would make sure she would live all her dreams and make them her reality. A promise that she fulfilled by dying an old lady peacefully in her bed. She promised and she never let go. 💙

Like the fiance said something like this to me I'd be like nice knowing you see ya

But at this point this is like the end of the movie but throughout the movie it's pretty apparent rose didn't like cal at all even a blind person could have noticed that.

So from a in character pov why do you think Cal had to be so obsessed in winning rose over?

What do you think?

I never got to it but I always wanted to share this polaroid of Kate from the set’s costume folders. You can still see it on propstore’s website where this copy of a folder was auctioned off in 2021. I edited it to make it clearer and show more details. This polaroid called “Rose throws a fit” related to the deleted scene called “trapped” which is the prelude to Rose trying to jump off Titanic. When entering her B-52 suite in the deleted scene it is also the only moment we see Rose wear long, black satin gloves and a red beaded purse with her jump dress. ❤️🖤 #titanic1997 #titanicmovie #titanicjumpdress #rosedewittbukater

I know we all hate Cal and for good reason, but him doing this allows Rose to finally break free from him and Ruth.

It’s stupid on his part because it’s not like they were in the lifeboat or on Carpathia where it was too late and he knew Jack was confirmed dead.

His choice of words show that he knew he was good as dead but so far still alive.

I don’t want to give him credit or anything but his blunder here gave Rose the strength to save Jack and never see him or Ruth again.

Yes, Cal is arrogant and probably didn’t realize there was still time for her to save Jack, but what was his motivation?

Did he want her to feel guilty or responsible for his death? Did he do it to show her how he could control and manipulate her? Was it a way to intimidate her to him in their relationship? Assuming they were married, would he use that to perpetually blackmail and guilt trip her?

This plays to Jack’s convenience, you think Cal would be smarter to not brag until after the deal was closed.

Feels like a classic Hollywood trope, its convenient for the sake or the narrative but I feel like in real life criminals and bad actors are far more savvy about manipulating people, hiding and denying it. They don’t show their cards until after their prospect has been compromised.

So, we’re finally back with another fix! This fixes the central propeller starting up at the same time as the others. This would not be possible, as it was driven by a Parsons steam turbine, which required exhaust steam from the main reciprocating engines to function. This meant that the outside propellers had to have been spinning for a considerable amount of time before the central propeller could start up. We, of course, once again regraded the shot to 35mm specifications, as we did with every shot in the movie. The number of fixes we made to the film now counts to 200, this being 0.5% of that number. Now, before you start commenting, this only fixes the propellers' movement, not the number of blades. If we did that, it would create a continuity error throughout the rest of the film, as replacing the central propeller with a 3-bladed one in every shot where it is seen would exceed our skills.

This custom action figure is based on my upcoming fan made graphic novel story Titanic II: Jack Returns (I uploaded a short preview webcomic).

This 1/6 scale figure is made by me, based on my fan made sequel to Titanic. The full story is on Wattpad. The character is Jack Dawson who is brought back as a resurrected corpse from the sea, caused by a curse from a British witch who casted on him since his childhood.

I bought the clothes from a separate Jack Dawson figure on eBay, including an unpainted head sculpt. The hands came from a zombie figure in which they were sold as the hands instead. The suspenders from the pants snapped off because they were fragile, so I wrapped them around with a cotton material and painted them with dark brown, to match the original color scheme.

The shoes are different since the actual boots from the other Jack figure were sold out, and instead I bought different ones and painted them myself.

I painted him based on the way he died (hypothermia) and keeping his appearance intact despite his pale skin and milky eyes. I added dark veins around his body and covered them with a layer of the pale skin tone to make them appear almost transparent.

The cigar and fish are his own prop accessories. The cigar represents his old human habit staying with him, and the fish represents his undead diet for raw meat.

The following photos are taken at Seaport village in San Diego as a small photoshoot.

I bought an actual 1/6 Jack Dawson figure by YanToys and he scales very well alongside his undead version.

Can you believe there has never been a novelization of Titanic (1997)? Well, here's my attempt!

Cover art is a movie poster edited by a simple photo editor on my mobile device. Link in comments.

I made this drawing back in October of 2025 as a test of how Jack would look like as a resurrected corpse.

The first design was a little too much since he looks more decayed and his posture was very zombie-like.

His updated design is featured in my short webcomic “Titanic II: Jack Returns - Rebirth”.

A brief deleted moment from the theatrical cut that was featured in the 1997 HBO documentary titled ‘Heart of the Ocean: The Making of TITANIC’.

I bought the files online and I was able to print every piece for the past three months.

The railings were not in the files, so I bought some metal wires instead. Assembling the pieces together has been a fun experience. The paint job was very challenging but it was worth it.

The display stand is perfect for my 1/6 Jack Dawson figure by YanToys.

Someone on r/Titanic came up with this fan cast for if the film was made twenty years earlier. Here's their ideas with some of my own additions.

Jessica Lange as Rose DeWitt Bukater
Mark Hamill as Jack Dawson
Timothy Dalton as Cal Hockley
Peter Cushing as Spicer Lovejoy
Alec Guinness as Captain Smith
Patrick Stewart as Thomas Andrews
Michael Caine as Bruce Ismay
Maggie Smith as Ruth DeWitt Bukater
Natalie Schafer as Old Rose
Roger Moore as John Jacob Astor
Denise Nickerson as Trudy Bolt
George C. Scott as Benjamin Guggenheim
Harrison Ford as Brock Lovett
Shelly Winters as Molly Brown
Al Pacino as Fabrizio de Rossi
Richard Dreyfuss as Tommy Ryan
David Warner as First Officer Murdoch
Michael Lonsdale as Colonel Archibald Gracie

One of the most memorable things about the film, beyond the story, historical details, special effects, etc, is the awe-inspiring score by James Horner.

I had the soundtrack CD as a teenager, and I can't tell you how many times I listened to "Southampton."

How do you feel about James Horner's score for the film? Any favorite pieces or moments in the film that moved you particularly because of the music?

P.S. I recently watched The Perfect Storm (2000) and realized Horner is the composer. It was very reminiscent of Titanic, especially with the sweeping orchestral tone at the beginning.

For the longest time, I held the belief that Rose's story was influenced by things she read about the disaster, and things she saw in movies. It not only explains why we are shown things that Rose was not a witness too, it explains why some of these scenes arent historically accurate.

Just flipped to this page while reading the illustrated screenplay, and *voila*, there it is!

Yeah, no. I’ll never not be in love with a young Leo. My god he was so gorgeous. 😍
