Kate Winslet Finally Weighs in on Infamous ‘Titanic’ Door Debate
New York Post ^ | December 18, 2022 | Jack Hobbs

Kate Winslet, 47, floated her opinion Saturday on the infamous “Titanic” door debate using her experience with paddle boarding while appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

The debate — which has been going on for nearly 25 years since the film’s release — first floated to the surface during the climatic scene of James Cameron’s “Titanic,” where Rose (played by Winslet) is laying on a shattered door leaving her love interest Jack ( played by Leo DiCaprio) to freeze in the water.

Several people who have watched the 1997 film have argued that if Rose had moved over, both she and Jack would have survived.

No way could that small door have supported bothe of them.

However, the Jack character would have easily survived if he had floated on Kate Winslet. She’s a substantial young lady.

Yeah, that struck me too. 47 years old and she swears like a sailor. No class.

Women think how great a romance movie Titanic is.

Men regard it as a horror movie.

The difference between the sexes.

If the life preserver was pushed underneath the door and held in place using the straps the the door could have supported both of them.

I think they showed this on MythBusters.

Same thing with the ending where Rose drops the diamond over the side. She does this knowing full well that the purpose of the whole expedition is to look for it.

Women tend to gush over how romantic that was. In contrast, men shake their heads in disgust and disbelief.

Several people who don’t understand the meaning of “drama”.

There are two scenes I like in the movie. My favorite of the two is when DiCaprio slides beneath the surface.

“We took two stunt people who were the same body mass of Kate and Leo and we put sensors all over them and inside them and we put them in ice water,” Cameron, 68, told The Toronto Sun.

He put sensors inside them? That must have been interesting.

If she had not gotten back on the Titanic, he could have survived! Further, if she had used her feminine wiles on her fiancee, he would have survived (learn how to read the room, dearie).

Ugh!

She doomed him.

Gotta admit, the only part I saw was DiCaprio freezing to death. I liked it. I didn't regard that as horror, but a spiritually uplifting experience and hope for a better tomorrow.

I liked that part as well, but it was spoiled somewhat by knowing the actual DiCaprio survived.

Sort of like my feelings when Jane Fonda got shot in the head in the movie They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Agreed. If I happen upon people watching that part, I often get dirty looks when I start cheering and yelling, "Replay, replay!"

Cameron should have made that door smaller.
Also Jack was such a survivor. He held on all that time but couldn’t find his own piece of debris and swim to it?
Just criticizing the plot a bit.
