It's been more than 20 years since countless cinema-goers in "Titanic" suffered and hoped with Jack and Rose while the movie couple was drifting in the Arctic Ocean. The end of the story is known: Jack drowns while Rose is finally rescued. But many fans still do not want to be content with this end today.
The so-called door controversy revolves around the question of whether Jack next to his mistress on the piece of wood - often referred to as a door - would have fit. Now Céline Dion has interfered in the debate - albeit involuntarily. In 1997 the singer had contributed the song "My heart will go on" to "Titanic". A visit to Dion's "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon," the moderator took as an opportunity to find out how the 51-year-old Judge Jacks and Roses behavior.
"Do not get me in trouble," Dion initially fended. You see, Rose froze with cold and not really in her senses, said the singer. "And secondly, he does not need an invitation." So Jack could just go up to Rose. But maybe he had been so frozen that he did not have the necessary strength.
Lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio had escaped in the summer more successful than Dion an assessment of the "door controversy". "No comment," he said in an MTV interview. Rose actress Kate Winslet said in an interview in 2017 less closed than her male colleague - and admitted that probably enough space would have been. Jack's death is not alone but Roses guilt: "He should have just tried harder to come to this door, because I think it would have worked!", She said in 2017 in the program "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert".

Céline Dion: Another end to "Titanic"?Incidentally, director James Cameron gave a very pragmatic answer to the much-discussed question: "If he had lived, the end of the film would have been meaningless," he said in 2017 the "Vanity Fair". "The film is about death and separation, he had to die." The discussion so long after the release is "silly," but also shows that the film has managed to "make Jack so adorable to the audience that it hurts them to see him die."
