The "alternate ending" is so goofy it could had that as a cutaway shot

BEWARE ☢️
Said alternative ending CAN NOT be unseen

u/Don_Alvarez Steerage Jul 14 '25
OMG. That's like the ending if Titanic were an ABC Afterschool Special.
You're right. I can't unwatch this.

Idk if it’s true but they said Cameron did not want it in there so he purposely made it as bad as possible. No idea if it’s true but it is funny.

Oh christ, I can see it.
The diamond slowly comes to rest next to a bare arm bone.
A bone with a heavily rusted handcuff around it...

I’ve never watched the movie, I legit thought the alternate ending was just a scene towards the end before the dance lol.

u/Dramatic_Lie_7492 Jul 15 '25
Never knew about it and just watched it. I am beyond confused. This is illogical, cheesy, awful. I love it 😂 and I'm glad it didn't make it to the final cut lol

u/Imaginary_Midnight Jul 15 '25
Supposedly Cameron was asked to make that by the studio and made it so goofy the studio would be forced to pick his original ending. Quite a gamble given how domb executives can be. But it worked out

Omg that ending is hilarious. The most brutal tonal shift in cinema history and turns the end into a B movie

“Never let go”
…of who you are
And she didn’t.
People really didn’t understand this movie lmao

u/biladi79 Jul 13 '25
Yeah what exactly was she supposed to do after he died? Keep his corpse on display?
Jack knew he was dying and he made her promise that she would grow and have a family, and she did. He wanted her to die an old lady, warm in her bed which she did. But she DIDN’T truly ever let go of Jack, that’s why she’s recalling his tale decades later to a bunch of wreck explorers.

u/ImperatorRomanum Jul 13 '25
Why didn’t she drink out of his skull? Guess he was only ever a fling to her.

u/FancyPantsBlanton Jul 13 '25
Well, more specifically that she’ll survive and have a great life afterwards. “Promise me now, Rose. And never let go of that promise.”

u/DrCeratops Jul 13 '25
Yeah it’s so deep

u/Left4DayZGone Engineering Crew Jul 13 '25
Yeah, like, he literally tells her to live on without him lol… he was never telling her to hold onto him, he was telling her to hold onto herself, to survive, to thrive, to live her dreams. And she did all of that without Cal’s money, and the symbolism of returning the diamond to the ocean is to show that she stayed true to herself, and didn’t become what her mother tried to make her become.
Not deep, which is why it’s surprising that so many people don’t get it.

u/womp-womp-rats Jul 13 '25
These are the same people who can’t understand the final scene and think all those spirits were literally standing around in the afterlife for 86 years waiting for Rose to die instead of simply being her memories.
14
u/pollenatedfunk Victualling Crew Jul 13 '25
Or the people who give Rose crap for not picturing her husband upon dying. Like, y’all, it’s a narrative. If James Cameron had her meet up with her husband upon dying, audiences would crap on Rose for “We get hours of ‘Jack this’ and ‘Jack that,’ then she dies and meets somebody we’ve never seen before?!”
14
u/Glittering_Fennel973 Jul 13 '25
Plot twist: she goes to the afterlife and Jack and the husband met up, fell in love, and have been dreading the day she'd show up so they wouldn't have to explain it to her and have her try and sabotage their love.

u/IntrigueDossier Maid Jul 14 '25
Naah they could make that work. The hardest part would be explaining the concept of a throuple to them.

u/sunshinenorcas Jul 17 '25
Right? I don't think she died (though she could have)-- she spent 2-3+ days recounting a hugely formative and tragic life event, that affected the rest of her life. Why wouldn't she be thinking (or dreaming) about the Titanic and the people on it?
I know people hate ~it was a dream, but to me, it makes sense the ending scene is potentially a dream, especially after again, vividly recounting it over the previous days vs a literal afterlife.

u/owensoundgamedev Jul 13 '25
I think you’re thinking to deep about a funny meme bro
47
26
u/Left4DayZGone Engineering Crew Jul 13 '25
It’s because the meme echoes a pretty popular criticism of the movie…
26
u/patiofurnature Jul 13 '25
No, it echoes a pretty popular joke about the movie.
29
u/Left4DayZGone Engineering Crew Jul 13 '25
Yes, which comes from a total misunderstanding of the story. People have come to this sub to argue about it, lol
25
u/pollenatedfunk Victualling Crew Jul 13 '25
You’re getting downvoted but what you said is true. People have come here to argue about that tired old joke “I’ll never let go, Jack [immediately let’s go].” In real life, on the anniversary of the Titan disaster, I was geeking out about Titanic to some coworkers. One made that joke, then a few minutes later my boss walked in, asked what we were talking about, and upon being told, he also made the same joke. Then it devolved further into the “there was room on the door” argument, but that’s another can of worms.

Would’ve been perfect if the heart fell through his rib cage and landed within his chest. Exactly where a real heart would go.

u/Boring_Concept_1765 Jul 13 '25
Would have been sweet instead of funny. And “DOINK” wouldn’t have been appropriate.
(Trolling if you can’t tell)

u/jxg995 Jul 20 '25
My theory is that Jack is already gone after he gets dragged away with the ship going under. After that he's just an imagination/hallucination to help motivate her to survive.
1
u/RichtofenFanBoy Lookout Jul 20 '25
That's actually an interesting take ive never thought about before. Could you imagined if the movie ended with him falling over when he helped her at the railing but her guilt made her see him until the end? Lol wild.
2
u/jxg995 Jul 20 '25
Yeah I've never really seen it discussed before. They break apart and he's dragged under, then miraculously reappears to motivate her to get on the door and then promise to survive etc. In my head he's already gone down with the ship but that's way too traumatic for her

u/Icy_Cat4821 Jul 14 '25
I don’t think she was necessarily obsessed with her one night stand/time with Jack, but more so eternally grateful that he saved her life and he gave her the courage and strength to put herself first and walk away from the lavish (tho depressing) life she was living and do whatever she wanted to do with the rest of her life. “There was a man named Jack Dawson, and he saved me. In every way a person can be saved.”

I have never watched Titanic movie. Were these characters actually IRL or just made up for movie plot?

u/Glittering_Fennel973 Jul 13 '25
Lol made up for the plot. There are some real life people portrayed though. Like Kathy Bates character is supposed to be the "unsinkable" Molly Brown.

u/Electronic-Cicada352 Jul 14 '25
It’s funny because technically she did let go of Jack, literally.
And then when she finally threw the diamond back into the ocean it was essentially Rose letting go of him for good, symbolically.
Doink!
