James Cameron is tired of your 'Titanic' death theories

You've read the arguments, you've watched the MythBusters clip, and you've determined that, yes, maybe Rose could have saved Jack at the end of Titanic. Even Kate Winslet agrees!

But despite the internet's pleading, James Cameron's view is, in essence: Get over it. As the Titanic director told Vanity Fair in an interview tied to the film's 20th anniversary, Jack had to go, regardless of his ability to fit on a floating door.

"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."

This isn't the first time Cameron's addressed theories that Jack would have lived had Rose just made some room. In January, he gave a similar answer to the Daily Beast:

"Look, it’s very, very simple: you read page 147 of the script and it says, 'Jack gets off the board and gives his place to her so that she can survive.' It's that simple. You can do all the post-analysis you want."

But you know the internet – it's insatiable. And as Titanic will return to U.S. theaters this December (remastered in Dolby Vision, no less), we suspect a new crop of fan theories is just a few weeks away.
