Director JamesCameron shares what he realizes Titanic only got 'half right' about the historical tragedy.
Filmmaker James Cameron went to great lengths to honor the real-life tragedy of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, which included multiple visits to the remains of the underwater wreckage, but in the new documentary Titanic: 25 Years Later With James Cameron, the director revealed something he might have gotten wrong.
"The film Titanic depicts what we believed was an accurate portrayal of the ship's last hours. We showed it sinking bow-first, lifting the stern high in the air, before its massive weight broke the vessel in two," Cameron shares in the special."Over the past 20 years, I've been trying to figure out if we got that right."
The special determined that the stern could have fallen back into the water and the stern could have sunk vertically, but it could not have done both. He added,"I think we can rule in the possibility of a vertical stern sinking, and I think we can rule out the possibility of it both falling back and then going vertical. We were sort of half right in the movie."
