Titanic

became a worldwide success and launched a very young Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio to stardom, those in charge of interpreting the unforgettable Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson.

It was, until the premiere of

, the highest grossing film in history.

By March 1998, four months after its release, the film had already grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, becoming the first film in history to reach that number.

It earned 14 Oscar nominations, taking home 11, including Best Picture and Best Director.

During filming, however, the costs did not stop rising, until reaching the figure of 200 million dollars, which caused some executives of the production company 20th Century Fox, without being clear about the future success of the film, to suggest cutting some scenes to save on expenses.

Faced with the proposal, director James Cameron flatly refused and in not very good manners.

After the film, Cameron earned a reputation as "the scariest man in Hollywood": "He became known as an uncompromising perfectionist, aggressive and a 300-decibel yeller," wrote journalist Christopher Goodwin in a 2009 chronicle in

.

When in 2007 he was asked about his fame as a "dictator", the director replied: "I am demanding and demanding with my work team.

, I think there's an element of that when you have to deal with thousands of extras and huge logistics and also keep people safe.

I think you have to have a strict methodology when dealing with a lot of people.”

He didn't deny it at all.

In May 1997, Kate Winslet spoke about the rhythm of that shoot, where not a minute could be wasted, in the American newspaper

: “The first day the recordings began at five in the morning, and lasted until one.

She wasn't ready for something like this.

There were many days like this, when the shots lasted 20 hours.

And two-thirds of those days we were shooting at night, since the Titanic sank at night.

Everyone had to be on their own on set.

You had to make sure you got some sleep during the day by putting a dark mask over your eyes.

Sometimes we would have lunch at two in the morning or eat at four in the afternoon.

It was very disorienting."

During filming, the actress felt exhausted and, in those first interviews, she did not hesitate to admit it: “If I seem scared, frozen and exhausted in the film during the sinking scenes, it is because I really was scared, frozen and exhausted.

After three months,

I felt physically swollen, bruised, and alone without my family.

I had to keep thinking to myself, 'You wanted this, now just move on.'

Despite the fact that filming was tough, the actress recently told

that she admires the director's talent.

In full promotion of

director and actress, have exchanged compliments and good comments, as well as gestures of affection.

Kate Winslet has acknowledged having a lot of fun shooting the second part of

and she seems to have left the past behind: “Jim is much calmer now.

I can't imagine the pressure he went through on the set of

, with all those conversations around the film.

As we get older, we learn to say, 'I made a mistake.'

We all get better at it, don't we?"

Neither director nor actress have mentioned the figure for which Winslet has embarked on this new journey with Cameron.
