電影史上最大的 BUG－James Cameron 親解《Titanic》結局 Rose 不讓空位給 Jack 的原因

1997 年，電影史上最經典的電影之一的《Titanic》正式上映，其所創下的第一票房紀錄影響長達十多年，直至 2009 年才被同一導演的作品－James Cameron 的《Avatar》奪下，但仍堅守第二名至今。長達 20 年的稱霸背後，亦存在著一個 20 年的疑問：「why doesn’t Rose make room for Jack on the door？」為何 Rose 躺在一塊足以容納兩個人的門上，卻沒有讓位於 Jack 終致他凍死？隨著《Titanic》20 周年即將釋出高質 Dolby 重製版本，大導 James Cameron 在接受訪問時就回應了影迷這個 20 年的糾結。

And the answer is very simple because it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies. Very simple. . . . Obviously it was an artistic choice, the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him . . . I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die. Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless. . . . The film is about death and separation; he had to die. So whether it was that, or whether a smoke stack fell on him, he was going down. It’s called art, things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons.

簡單來說，就是劇情需要！James Cameron 形容這是關於藝術的決定，《Titanic》是一部關於分離的電影，如果 Jack 沒有死去，那電影就失去意義了，因此無論如何，Jack 也要死。真是令人傷心的答案呢 … 所以即使真的有傳說了 20 年的《Titanic 2》，Jack 也是不會回來的。
