Jack Dawson did fit on the table

James Cameron has made it clear that, even if he went back, the protagonist of 'Titanic' would die again.

“It seems like a joke, but it is not.

National Geographic premieres a documentary about TITANIC this Sunday focused on whether Jack could have survived by climbing on the plank with Rose.

James Cameron will recreate 4 different situations and models with his team to finally settle the discussion ”, announces @levmauc.

And no, it is not a joke.

25 years have passed since the premiere of

Titanic,

and the debate about whether or not its protagonist could have been saved continues to flood the networks of memes and theories.

So much so that James Cameron and his team have been encouraged to carry out a forensic analysis of the survival options he had.

The documentary has been released, and Cameron finally admits that yes, Jack could have been saved.

The study has confirmed that the table seen in the final scene would have sunk with the two lovers on top, but both could have shared it leaving half a body outside, although it is difficult to know how long they would have survived.

Still, Cameron has acknowledged that if she could go back, she would use a smaller table to avoid the argument.

Although the great novelty is that the analysis shows that there was a simple option for Jack to survive.

It was enough for Rose, once safe, to lend him her life jacket and for him to stabilize himself and hold out until the rescue returned.

Cameron has made it clear that even if he went back, Jack would die again.

“It's like Romeo and Juliet.

It is a film about love, sacrifice and death.

Love is measured by sacrifice ”, he said.

It may seem like a joke

Because of course, if you save Jack, you destroy the myth of love.

And if you want a love that time does not damage, it is recommended that it die at its peak.

And since he himself does not die, it is necessary to kill one of the main characters.

Bloody romanticism yes, but effective.

Nobody wants to see Romeo and Juliet married, with children, angry or, worse yet, jaded.

But, from my point of view, the most incredible thing is that James Cameron has added that trying to save himself would be against the nature of Jack, who would not have wanted to do anything that could endanger Rose.

A condemnation that connects with a myth of "silly masculinity" as supposedly romantic as it is blockbuster.

You have to be very stupid (or "very man") to think that the person you love will be safer if you give your life for him than if you save yourself.

Thus, in the recently released

Avatar 2

(also directed by Cameron), the blue lovers —Jake Sully and Neytiri— survive their love affair and appear married with five children.

The representation of love changes, but not the masculinity that runs through the ideal.

Former

Marine

Jake Sully will play a rigid, old-fashioned family man who repeats the same mantra throughout the film: "A father protects his family from him."

A kind of protection alien to care and empathy that will make him mistreat his children and lose one of them.

Years go by, viewers change, even love changes, but there are still poor Jake and Jack, convinced that they will be better men if they are willing to die for those they love.

To care, Cameron, we want men willing to care.

write it down for

Avatar 3.

And remember: Jack did fit on the table.

Titanic is 25 years old and DiCaprio doesn't like it anymore.
