On the Bedel cast, the questions asked if movies have women in them, are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands, or do they have individualism? The patriarchy? Zef and best start changing it with the Bechdel cast. Oh, I was gonna try to quote Titanic, but but you couldn't, Like, I just couldn't choose. I just couldn't choose which I was like, Wait, what's going on? I was gonna say, like, oh, I'm King of the World. But that's like, honestly, maybe
the worst quote from the movie whoa. I mean, I can't say I agree with that. Okay, that seems sick and right. I think the worst quote from the movie would be, oh, something that you don't even remember, like something you don't Oh, here it is, gotcha? Who oh when exactly? Not memorable? Not memorable? No, but I know what you're talking about. It's when the guys were looking for Jack and Rose in the cargo hold and they open the door and they're like they think they're going
to see them like mid coitus. Yes, oh okay, So, first of all, welcome to the vessel cast Um. Yes, hello, my name's Jamie Loftus. My name is Caitlin Durante and this is our Normally it's our podcast where we give in intersectional feminist analysis of your favorite movies. This week, we are, for the second week in the row, once again covering Titanic for I believe the seventh time. So
it is the most wonderful time of the year. And as we briefed you on in last week's episode, we are doing a two parter for this is a way to both say that first the episode was unexpectedly so long because we will never run out of things to say about this, and to to just sort of pay a homage to the two VHS Titanic collection. So this is VHS two, Yes, but I feel like we should update. Do we have Titanic news since last semis we record
yea an episode. I had my wedding so to speak, which is I invited all my friends to an AMC in Burbank, California to watch Titanics like any good wedding, Zach, thank you, and a lot of people came and we had the best time. There was cheering, it was beautiful. A friend of the cast, Sara June, booed the iceberg when it came on screen and we all loved it. It was an extremely titanic screening that it was, is how I felt about it. And yes, Caitlin, thank you
for coordinating it. I will say of Titanic three D, it doesn't need to be three D there, thank you. There wasn't a lot of three D. I wanted to see every pore on Bruce's May's face. Wow, I just didn't. Yeah, I know, well that's a me thing. Sure, that's because I'm a little perfect. I don't love three D movies. In fact, I avoid them, and I was worried that
it was going to be like headache inducing. But the three D was like kind of underwhelming, which I actually liked because I was like, oh, I'm not being given a headache. I would but but you wouldn't have liked it if you had paid a premium and didn't have an AMC Stubbs pass. Sure that's what I was thinking
of the non stubs heads. If I were a non stubs head, which of course I'm not, I would be fucking pissed if I paid twenty six dollars to not even be hit in the face with an iceberg, which I think is like low key kind of morbid and disrespectable.
But anyways, we want we didn't do that, yes, And speaking of stubs, I mean we would be remiss not to acknowledge that we come to this place for magic, we come to this place to laugh, to cry, to care, etc. And also AMC can eat shit recently, But I mean, obviously we're not based on what I just said, We're
obviously not sponsored by them. They can eat it. Did you see how they are trying to introduce a t heard yes movie seed program that is the most elitest garbage peepie poopoo thing I've ever seen in my life. Like movies are supposed to be in equal space for the pay, you know, twelve dollars times for three these days, I don't know. I'm a step hit, so I don't know. And then you know, I just think that's so fucking ridiculous, infuriated,
kisses me off. We're not sponsored by them, so we're saying that, Yeah, anyone who doesn't sponsor us, we have to find an active insult forth. Anyways, it rocked, We laughed, we cried, we cared, Sara boot in the iceberg. It was it was really special. It was wonderful. I had the best time. Thank you for coming with me, Jamie, Oh, I mean, and thanks to all who attended indeed Titanic. And that resulted in a little bit of James Cameron
history where Titanic has now eclipsed Avatar. Avatar two overtook Titanic as a higher grossing movie, but then when Titanic rereleased, Titanic is back up on top overtook Avatar two. Okay, now, who knows what will happen. I just James Cameron's kind of like the Joey Chestnut of movie grosses, like he's really mostly in competition with himself, and you're just like, well, yes, good for that white guy. In any case, shall we
get to the episode? Yes, So, without much further ado, here is VHS tape number two, And by that we mean the rest of the episode that we didn't have time to include last week. So it's a recap of the movie plus Jamie's fun facts corner. So the recap of Titanic that I never have done before. I will include a content slash trigger warning for suicide at the top of this recap and sinking boat and for a sinking boat, yes right, and then I'm gonna pipe in.
It's kind of hard because I have two long lists of notes for the two different three hour commentary tracks. I'm gonna do my best, but I'll try to interject with useful information and not just having a meltdown. And anything that you don't get to during the recap we can touch on afterward. We can zip through. Yeah, oh yeah, Okay, here we go. The movie begins in present day with Brock love It, played by Bill Paxton, who Jim Cameron
admits is his self insert character. I mean, he says, that makes he's like Brock on the phone with his financiers, more like me on the phone with paramount. He he ha ha. He also says that he edited the intro sequence, like with the title and like the waves and stuff. He edited that himself. Wow, in the space of twenty hours and one bottle of tequila. Whoa, I know he drunk edited the opening sequence Love that, Okay, love that So Brock love It is in speaking of love It.
Brock love It is in a submarine searching the wreckage of the Titanic because he is trying to find a diamond necklace called the Heart of the ocean. He believes it went down with the ship when it sunk in nineteen twelve. Yes, he finds this safe, he brings it to the surface, he opens it, but oops, the diamond
is not in the safe. I learned a little bit about how they shot the underwater sequences, and that was really interesting because it was kind of like whatever, a combination of crew members sort of telling you exactly what shots were actually from the wreckage of Titanic and which ones were reproductions that they did match shots for in eskindido fun facts that I learned included and I think I sort of knew that, but I don't know this, but I don't know if like we've ever talked about
on the show. So like all of those, like the underwater cameras, like they're called ROVs, they had to develop a version of existing technology that could be used for the movies because there's so few of that equipment available that they wouldn't lend it to James Cameron for his little movie. It reminded me of how like Initia, like famous figure skaters wouldn't be stunt people because they're like, yeah,
it's not worth it. Sorry, movie it's well because It's like if you're doing a triple axle in figure skating and then you fuck your ankle up, then your career is over and all you did was a stunt on itonia, you know. I think that that's how they're like, these cameras are so valuable that like, if you break it making a movie, we will kill you. Like so they had to like develop technology for the movie specifically, and
then also that piano that they see. James Cameron sometimes he claims to have done things where I'm just like, I don't believe you. But anyways, he that piano, He's like, I made that myself. I took a drill to it and it took all night and I was like, what are you talking about? But he started in the art department and he claims to just really have like raw dog that piano and made it look old and threw an underwater Wow. Okay, all right, who knows? Well, so
Brock has opened the safe. The diamond is not there, But what is there is a nude drawing of a woman who is wearing the diamond necklace in the drawing, So we know that James Cameron drew that. What I'd never heard before this was that he drew it semi from life, like it wasn't just like and not from the scene in the movie. The drawing was like done or like storyboarded before Kate Winslet, ever, you know, posed
for it in the movie. Sure, but yeah, he said that, like he had Kate Winslett pose for him and a few artists from a few different angles. But she was wearing she was not nude. She was wearing a bikini. And then he sounded really creepy, dad, and he was like, I had to use my imagination to draw her nude. We didn't know each other well enough for her to pose nude for me, which I'm like, yeah, true, but
why did you say that? You know? But there's a lot of like bizarre I don't know, there's a lot of like nineties because the two commentary tracks I listened to were recorded for the ten b anniversary DVD, so it was recorded sometime in like two thousand and six for the two thousand and seven release. But there's all sorts of like bizarre nineties sounding like there's a story about how like when Kate Winslet like she didn't want Leonardo DiCaprio to see her naked for the first time,
like on the set for that scene. So she, according to her, like left her makeup trailer door unlocked and like called him in while she was getting full body makeup for that scene and like didn't tell him she was going to be naked, and like jump scared him and then he was like whoa and she's like, ha ha ha, It's it's more comfortable this way. We're just
co workers. And then Leonardo DiCaprio was like cool, and I guess everyone was fine with it, but I was like, this is a weird you guys are most stories about Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio are weird. Like she just says it like it's a I mean, whenever they had a jokey relationships. They're obviously still friends, but she was like, ha ha ha. This is where Leo would fart in his jacket and stick into my face. I was like, yucky,
but she's like, we'd love to have a laugh. I'm like, wow, you know they really found each other because I would hate that. What a bunch of goofs. I guess. Okay, So this exploring of the wreckage of Titanic, this whole thing is like being televised. Yes, And an old woman sees the drawing that brock loove It has uncovered from the safe. She sees it on TV and she says, well,
I'll be goddamned. She then we're trying. Yeah. She then calls brock loove It and says the woman in the picture is me, and yeah, I know all about the diamond you're looking for. Okay, I definitely didn't know this. Let me know if you do this. So, when James Cameron was writing this iconically okay script, he was looking for,
like to build out Old Rose. He was looking for like a oh god, I never say this word right, like sent centenarian, someone who was around a hundred who he like wanted to find a really interesting older woman who had lived a wild life to sort of like build Old Rose around or do just like have in mind. And Bill Paxton's his wife Louise Paxton, suggested this artist she knew of who lived in oh High, who was
like in her night. I think she was like one hundred and one when the movie came out, and she was like, oh, you should check out this artist, Beatrice Wood. She sounds exactly like the kind of person you're looking for. And she gave James Cameron a copy of Beatrice Wood's autobiography, which is called I Shocked Myself, and James Cameron met with her before writing a character of Old Rose. Gotta feel for who she was. A lot of the like lines that Old Rose has were based on her cadence
and jokeyness. The fact that Rose does pottery is based on Beatrice Wood because that was what Beatrice Wood was most famous for in her later career, And Gloria Stewart met with her too, Like she's just like this fascinating person and if you're into art history at all, listeners she was like she was like a really important artist who had never heard of but she like was with like Marcel Duchamp, like championing his work at like the
very very beginning of his work. Like she's considered like the mother of data art, but is obviously not brought up half as much as Duchamp was. But she was a huge advocate and like she worked alongside him. She did a lot of drawings and then later did like sculpture and then even later in her career to pottery. She was like the subject of this famous data art love triangle with Duchamp and this other artist I don't know.
She was really really fascinating and I was excited to even get to Like, I ordered a copy of her autobiography because she just sounds really free king cool, and I love that Louise Paxton was the one that was just like, hey, check this out. And then I think most iconically, after Titanic came out, Beatrice Wood awarded the fifth Annual Beatrice Wood Film Award to James Cameron Reciprocity.
But yeah, so okay, last and so, like, Gloria Stewart and James Cameron went to Beatrice Wood's one hundred and first birthday luncheon when they were getting to know her, and I guess that she turned down dessert at the table, and everyone's like, why didn't you want dessert, Beatrice? And she said, I only like chocolate and young men. So wow, I know, shout out Beatrice Wood. I just had like a really fun side quest learning about her. She's really cool.
Hell yeah, yeah, I didn't know. Okay, So brock Lovett invites this woman who had called him Rose Calvert, played by Gloria Stewart, and he invites her aboard the kel Dish, which is the ship they are operating this search of the Titanic wreckage from a real ship, so that Rose can tell him what she knows about the diamond. And she starts to tell her story. She iconically says, it's been eighty four years and I can still smell the fresh paint. That China had never been used, she had
never been slept in. Titanic was called the ship of dream of and was it really he was? Also another fun meeting was Gloria Stewart requested to meet with Kate Winslet when they first got cast as Rose, so that Gloria Stewart would know how to like whatever, like the way that you would, but liked to fix her mannerisms.
And there's like video footage of that meeting, and it's really really sweet, and it's Glorious Stewart showing they're both like drinking champagne and their little tipsy, and Glorious Stewart is showing because she was like an old Hollywood star, She's showing Kate Winslet these pictures of her when she was like She's like, I was having sex without every Marx brother and none of that is my real hair, and Kate Winslet's like, I want to be just like
you someday is very sweet. Oh that's awesome, you know. So as old Rose starts to tell her story, we flash back to nineteen twelve. Titanic is about to embark on its maiden voyage. People are boarding the ship, including Rose played by Kate Winslet, her fiance Cal fiance Cal Hockley played by Billy Zane, her mother Ruth. That's Francis Fisher, and they are all fabulously wealthy with first class tickets. M We cut to Jack Dawson played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Of course, he's playing poker with his best friend for Brizzio. Oh my gosh, that's Danny Nucci. I have a fund, I have two fun Danny Nucci facts hit me. Danny Nucci is also in the commentary track, and he's just a kick. Things about Danny Nucci include he was able to so Danny Nucci lived in Italy for the first seven years of his life but did not speak Italian. I personally, I think what I've learned in the last couple of years is that, like sometimes when Italian accents
sound fake, they're actually not. Case in point, Lady Gaga and House of Gucci. Her accent sounds extremely fake, but then if you listen to the person that she's playing,
it's sometimes they just sound weird. I don't know, but like apparently Danny Nucci like fudged a little bit and like Little White Lie was like, yeah, I'm Italian, but like spoke in an accent at his addition, and was able to fool James Cameron and the producers, and then when he got the part, he was like, I'm not actually Italian, and they're like, well, can you speak Italian? And then he had to like take classes really abruptly so he could do the because he occasionally speaks at
Italian in the movie. Also another evil James Cameron anecdote, Danny Nucci had his first kid while Titanic was in production and he was given one and a half days off yikes, And finally iconic Danny Knucci said, there's good anecdotes about the two bands that appear in this movie.
The Irish band below decks and then the band that plays to the end on the top deck, and they're like a Swiss band, but apparently like Danny Nucci and the Irish Band got along famously, and Danny Knucci would bring out his guitar and they would play Oasis together like between takes. Okay, it's great love it yeah, oh okay.
So Jack and Fabrizio are playing poker against these two Swedish guys who have bet their third class tickets too Titanic, and Jack wins the hand of poker because he's got a full house boys whoa, and so he wins the tickets. But Titanic is leaving in five minutes, so Jack and Fabrizio make a mad dash and board the Titanic. We are also seeing the extravagance of Rose and Cal in first class juxtaposed against the bare bones conditions of third class,
where Jack and Fabrizio are. Yeah, there's a fun little acta about like just I don't know, like little things that I was like, oh, I wouldn't think about who would be doing that, But like James Cameron, because he's just like kind of a weird guy, was really like there's a scene where it's like Rose has her picassos and her day gauze and all this stuff, and like James Cameron like spent a bizarre amount of time looking for someone to do that, and like ended up finding
this obscure artist that lived in the middle of Canada and like hired her to do It's like all the same artists who did all of those paintings. Interesting. Also, the dog Old Rose has the dog of the little Pomeranian, Yeah, which I guess is a nod to there were three dogs that survived the Titanic and the two of them were Pomeranians and one was a Pekinese. And no one ever talks about the Titanic dogs. It might be the only angle from which that story has not been exploited. Wow,
Titanic puppies. I guess I've got a screenplay of write who would be the Titanic puppies. It would be like Anna Taylor, Joy, Kevin Hard, and Dave Batista are the Titanic puppies. Wow, food for thought. Okay, I'm not mad about it, yep. Oh okay. So we see first class passengers, third class passengers. We also see no second class passengers. Really not a lot of interests class wow, second class eraser, middle class eraser much Hello? Well heyy you're telling me
folks um. We also see the people in the boiler rooms who are like shoveling coal to power the ship. We're seeing wild fact about the boiler room. Due to something something the budget, they couldn't afford to build the boiler room to the full size they wanted to. So there's like a lot of things done in the boiler room set to make the boilers appear like there's more of They use like a mirror effect to make it seem like they're twice as many as there actually were.
But also they couldn't afford to build the boilers as big as they should have been, so instead they hired shorter actors to play the boiler room guys. So they were like, I don't know if this was hyperbole or not, but like John Landau was like, yeah, we we just had to make the boilers like we were positioning the camera as if the actors were like six foot four. But I don't think we hired an actor who was
like above five foot three. We just hired a lot of like shorter actors so that the boilers would look bigger. That's some like forced perspective, hobbit, Lord of the Ring stuff. It's pretty brilliant, but that's boiler room facts with Jamie Beautiful love it. So yeah, we're seeing just like the scale and the glory that is Titanic. Shortly after this is when we see the scene where Jack is like looking at dolphins and then he goes, I'm king of the world. Woooo And on that note, let's take a
quick break and then we will come right back. And we are back, okay. So then we meet the unsinkable Molly Brown played by Kathy Bates. We meet mister Andrews. That's Victor Garber, who almost didn't get the part because the casting director sent was like, Jim, you gotta check out this guy. He looks like Thomas Andrews and he's very talented, and then she sent him the wrong video.
She sent him like a video of some guy in a bow tie that looked nothing like Thomas Andrews, and James Camramon was like, um, I'm not seeing it, and she was like, oh, no, wrong video. And then he got the part. Oh, and we're so glad. Mister Andrews, of course, is the like engineer who designed the ship.
We also meet Bruce Ismay played by Jonathan Hyde. He was the chairman and managing director of the White Star Line, who the two historical characters that both the producers and James Cameron seemed to have like repeatedly acknowledged that they felt like the only historical figures that they felt that they potentially did a disservice too were Bruce Asmey, who I think was like a bad guy but not as bad as the movie makes him out to be. And James Cameron sort of was like, yeah, I took a
lot of dramatic license there. Like he did get into a boat. It was rumored that he had put some pressure to make the boat go faster, but also he stayed on the boat until the very last minute and rescued a lot of people, and like there were like there's a lot of gray area. I guess, so, which I don't really care about. The Officer Murdoch conversations a little more interesting because Officer Murdoch is for I mean, I guess for the it's hard to keep all the
officers straight. He's the one that kills Tommy and then takes his own life in the movie. Is also a lot of creative license. And his family reached out to James Cameron and was like, what the fuck and James Cameron was like, um, yeah, like it technically could have happened, because apparently, historically usually when something's like creative license, James Cameron has done the work to make it like, well,
you can't say it didn't happen. Like even the room that Rose stays in in the movie was technically empty, so it's like, well, that's where I'm going to put them because you can't prove someone else was there. But in that case, it was like there were rumors of like several gunshots that went off in an area where Officer Murdoch was but obviously Tommy Ryan as a fictional character,
so he was not killed by Officer Murdock. He didn't exist, but there is like no I think that there was like one speculation that Murdoch may have taken his own life, but there's like basically no historical precedent for it. So his family was rather upset that that was the narrative imposed on him. Yeah, and taking bribes as well, There was no evidence that he took bribes. Sure, he kind of he kind of got fucked a little thought sucks, but yeah, Hollywood loves embellishing facts. Yeah, I mean, it
is a dramatic effect. But as far as like, as far as historical movies getting things right, this movie gets more right than it does. So there you got and we love that. Yeah. Speaking of Tommy, we meet Tommy. He befriends Jack and Fabricio. He's played by Jason Barry. I never bothered to look up who played Tommy before this, and I was like, oh, that's a good named Jason Barry. He was on the commentary track and he just said
like he's actually Irish. Wow, authenticity. Yeah, unlike Danny Nucci over here, who's like um bon Jorg Showork like um okay. So we meet a few of these characters. We're hanging out with Jack and Fabrizio on deck, and this is when Jack sees Rose across the deck of the ship and he's like hubba hubba schwing o wouga speaking of a wooga. Oh my god. That's a James Cameron story that has nothing I thought. I thought. I thought Caitlin had nothing to do with Titanic. I thought that there
is listeners there is. I think I probably referenced it in our Avatar episode as well. James Cameron, whenever he goes on a press tour, he says a bunch of stuff that's awful, and then a bunch of stuff that is incoherent. One of the things he said on this press tour that was incoherent, wasn't that At times when he's on set the set for Avatar, he will not respond to anyone unless they first use a deafening a wooga sound. And that's how he knows that it's important
enough that it requires his precious baby boy attention. So when I was watching behind the scene featurettes of this movie, I can't prove that the Aluga thing has been true for a long time. But in the big the ship is sunk, everyone's flailing around. That was filmed I think in like a I think it was Burbank, like it was somewhere close by, Like it was just a large tank in Burbank with like four feet of water. And that's where the I'll Never Let Go scene was filled.
In all that, there is a moment in the featurette it's not called attention to, but knowing what we know now about James Cameron and Ouga, James Cameron is not talking to anybody. Allowed auga sounds scent like is sounded and then all of a sudden, he goes, what, I think the AUGA system has been in place for decades? Wow, Look, is there any or any of James Cameron's long time employees listening to this show? Can we get some confirm on the AUG I was shocked. I was knocked on
my ass by this. That's fascinating. I'm not surprised though, it's it sounds like he's been an absolute tyrant for a very long time. But but the AUGA system specifically, I'm like, that is some evil genius shit, Like, what on earth? I think we can date Auga back to ninety six. I support it. Yeah. So Jack is seeing Rose and he's like, hubba, hubba, who's that? And his friends are like, yeah, right, dude, she's rich and you're poor.
It'll never work out. You'll have angels flying out of your ars, etc. Before you get next to the likes
of her, says Tommy. Um, classic Tommy. There's also there was like a fight with James Cameron and the costume designer for that scene where I guess Rose like woman would wear hat if outside that is like a thing of the time, and so they were kind of getting into it because James Caramon's like, I don't want a floppy old hat on Kate Winslet's head, Like it would look goofy if she was wearing a big floppy hat when Jack sees her, but he said, well, she's already
rebelled against everything else. And then he took the hat off Kate Winslet's head and threw it into the ocean because he's a drama queen. And the costume designer, I think, was like, okay, that was and then they shot the scene. I know he's a he's a piece of work. I don't know what to make of the man. He's really a piece of work. Into the ocean, like so not necessary, very dramatic. Yeah, okay. So Jack has spotted Rose, but they don't meet until that night when Rose attempts suicide
by jumping off the ship. Yeah. She feels trapped by her position in life. She feels trapped in this relationship with cal who is controlling and abusive, so she makes this attempt but Jack sees her, realizes what's happening, and he stops her. He saves her. Here's what James Cameron had to say about this. It made me laugh. When you think about it, it's sort of a risky proposition for two people to meet in the middle of an attempted suicide. But that's long pause, that's what happens here.
I mean, there's no arguing that. Sometimes he talks about his own movies as if he has no control over what happens in them, and a way that makes me life. He's like, I don't know, I guess that's just how it went. His argument for a long time before he commissioned this scientific study to figure out if two people could have actually fit on the door and survived. His argument before that was Jack dies in the script, so he to Dot, She's like, yeah, you wrote that in
the script. You literally have control over this, But like,
I guess, whatever you want. There was also kind of a because I think at the time this movie came out, It's it's kind of interesting how like Kate Winslet and James Cameron's relationship seems to have changed over time, because at the time the movie came out, I kind of forgot, like it was like heavily rumored that, like Kate Winslett hated him, never wanted to work with him again because she got hypothermia on set, Like who would want to work with him again after that, but then time passed
and now she's an avatar too, like they made she got into a tank for the man again. So it seems like the relationship repaired over time. But it's interesting to hear, like there are a couple of anecdotes that Kate Winslett shares on this commentary track where you're like she was not having a good time with the scene
where she is attempting suicide. She's talking about how how they had to shoot it so many times because that was a green screen in a way that you can tell too, but like whatever was nineteen ninety seven, but they had to shoot it over and over and over to the point where she couldn't get herself to cry as much, Like she just was like spent and couldn't
get herself to cry. And so someone on the production I have a guess as to who was like just blow air in her face until she starts crying, and so they like blew a fan in her face until her eyes watered and then they're like all right, start again, and you're like, Jesus Christ is poor and she's like twenty years old. You know, it's like they're no one talks back in those situations, and I just was like, bless her, that's not my Mara veast Town. Tell you what,
I love that lady. She seems so great. Yeah. The abuse that actors and performers have to endure not cool. Yeah, okay, So Jack saves Rose saying if you jump, I'm going to have to jump in there after you because that's absurd. Then Cal and some of the crew show up to the scene and they're like, what's going on? And Rose is like, oh, I was just leaning over and I slipped and Jack saved me. I was leaning far over for the propellers, they had a hard time finding Cal.
And then you know what they did? What they saw The Phantom Is that a movie that Billy Zane. It is a movie that Billy Zane was in which he plays a super He plays a superhero called the Phantom. And then I've never seen it either. I just think it is a very if you look at like the visuals and like the trailer for that movie, it's very weird to be like I would see that movie and be like, yep, he should be in Titanic because it's
like just a super campy superhero movie. Where he's like, I am the Phantom, like it's very it's so Billy Zane is so iconic, like I'll never get over it. He was, Oh, wait, I need to tell you the Billy Zane arts and crafts story. He was just really like people seemed to everyone who talked about Billy Zane seemed to be like, and he is just what a character.
They're like, Leo and Billy just had us roll. In twenty five eight, John Lando said Billy isn't artiste, and then Billy Zane says that he turned so like the whole as you know, Caitlin and maybe some of our listeners know, the way that the Titanic set was built was that they built half of it in Mexico and then a lot of it is like reverse shots. But so they had to like move the entire cast and crew to Mexico for months. So Billy Zane turned his apartment in Mexico into it sounds sort of like he's
slowly losing his grasp on reality. But you let me know, he sort of seems to feel that way too. He's like, yeah, you know, just these long days are in a place you don't know anybody, and I I just sort of like, I like to express myself, and I turned my apartment into an art studio and I started mates. I started quote doing a lot of abstract expressionism, okay, And he says, like,
I was going very polic at the time. It was rough, you know, it got a little weird out there, but arts and crafts pulled me through, which I think is a beautiful outlook on life. And a lot of people Billy's I think we sent them to each other at the time. But Billy Zane took all these amazing candids on the set of Titanic because he was an artiste, and he like will occasionally post them to Instagram, and
they're all the best. Oh, Billy King, King of the world even Okay, So they're like, wow, Jack, you've saved Rose. You're a hero, and you should come have dinner with us tomorrow night. And he's like okay. And then later that evening, when Cal and Rose are back in their rooms, Cow gives Rose the heart of the Ocean and he's like, I know you've been melancholy, and I don't pretend to understand why, but here's a very expensive diamond necklace. And
she's like oh. The next day, Rose pays Jack a visit to thank him for saving her and for his discretion, and he's like, do you even love cow? And she's like, ah, you're being very rude, and then they argue a bit, but then she sees his drawings because Jack is an artiste and they are drawings of naked sex workers in Paris.
He was not getting into abstract expressionist. He was pretty straightforward. Oh, Tho'd be so funny if they if you cut to like Billy's AND's abstract expressionist paintings, like in his binder you mean in Jack's binders. Yeah, He's like, Um, I don't know. I guess I just sort of don't know anyone here and I'm just trying stuff out. That deck scene,
I guess that. I mean, I've seen I'm sure we've both seen audition tastes like that was like the audition scene for Titanic for one of them, But the way that the scene is was rewritten the night before, and there were all of these cool like for every peepee poopoo naked story that Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio share, of which there are many, there's fart in the jacket,
stick it in the face, surprise naked at him. There's we would pee in the tanks all the time, like she was, like Leo would eat a ton of garlic on days we had to kiss to prank me. I was just like, you guys are weird? You guys are you guys are? It sounds very like weird sibling kind of like antagonism. But but they also it was kind of cool to like they were always especially Kate Winslett, who I just love her so much, but like they were always trying to like add in little things into
the movie. Because it sounds like Kate and Leonardo DiCaprio both felt that the movie. They were worried that the movie was going to be too corny and too earnest. And I think that especially because it was like whatever. DiCaprio was like like he almost didn't take the part because he's like he's too perfect, Like we're's just damage blah blah blah. And like Kate Winslet have played a bunch of like complicated roles and it's not I mean, ros is kind of a meteor role in Jack, but whatever.
Like I think that they were both trying to add in. They're trying to get their little gen X two cents in where they could, and so they went to James Cameron when that scene was being like in the process of being rewritten, and I guess that it was at their insistence that Jack says like, well do you love the guy or not? Like stuff like that, Like there's a few lines in this movie that the way they
would rehearse. I also loved the way that they would rehearse them, where like they would do it as written and then James Cameron would have them do scene again. The way that they would just talk to each other to get like the cadence down for like, well, how would you actually have this conversation, and then you would do it as written again with the correct cadence, which is pretty smart way to rehearse people. But like they occasionally would like Caitlin's like got like a lot of
stuff into this movie. She is the person who said that Rose should spit in Cal's face. Originally she was poking him with a hairpin, but she was like, I already learned how to spit, and then James Caermon was like, shit,
that should have been my idea. She and Francis Fisher also suggest in their scene together where Francis Fisher's like tying the corset, originally it was the reverse and Kate Winslett was tying Francis Fisher's this corset and they were like, it makes way more sense thematically if it's the other way around, and James Carramon was like, Ash, maybe I'm
could have a screenwriter. It's like, yeah, not really, but like I just thought it was fun where every time there was a point where it's like, oh I got that in, I was like, that's so cool. That is very cool, And I'm glad that James Cameron like listens to reason and lets his Yeah, he seems grouchy, but it's like it seems like when someone else has a better idea. This is like not a huge compet but it's like if someone else has a better idea, he
will go with that idea. That's good. Yeah, let's take another quick break and then we will come back for more Titanic and we're back. Okay. So we have this scene with Jack and Rose and it's a little rocky here and there, but then she's like, let me look at your sexy drawings and then she's like a wooga. And then they're kind of like bonding and flirting, and
he teaches her how to spit. Speaking of spitting, I guess that they were spitting that the water seaged in and that scene and they were spitting onto like the floor of a parking lot, and Leonardo DiCaprio like set up these little targets on the ground. Would like to hit my little target. Wow. I love fun facts. Okay. So meanwhile, Bruce Ismay is pressuring Captain EJ. Smith played
by Bernard Hill. I want them to model her speed. Yeah, And he wants the captain to light the last four boilers so that the ship goes really fast and gets to New York City early ever heard of New York City? Yeah, because the maiden voyage of Titanic must make headlines. That actor fucking rules. Apparently, like he and Francis Fisher are good friends, and so even in scenes that he wasn't in that Francis Fisher was in, he would like come to set those days and watch her work. He was,
so I was like, oh, it's kind of fun. Mister Ame was sitting just off screen for that whole mother daughter. Of course, it's seen he's there. That's nice. I know he's just supporting his friend. Okay, So then it's time for dinner. Molly Brown dresses Jack in her son's tuxedo, and then Jack joins Rose and Cow and Ruth and a bunch of other rich, first class people for dinner. Ruth and Cal think Jack is gross, but Rose is like, wow, I like him, a free spirit. Here's a Molly Brown fact, please,
So Molly Brown. She's very characterized as new money and James Cameron takes a little bit of creative license with her in this where it's like she was a big personality, but also she was I guess in real life was like pretty dead set on fitting in and would not speak out as quite as much as she does in the movie. I'm glad she does in the movie. But there is like a fun and not finding who cares.
It's just like rich people shit. But there's like a brief converse station with John Jacob Astar, who is like the richest man in America at the time, and his teenage wife, and every account is like he doated on his wife, and you're like, okay, like she was a teenager, but I guess he died, but apparently they were like really good friends, and so, like James Cameron tried to add in, like there's like a scene, there's like an
exchange where Kathy Bates is like, hey asked her? Yeah, so that is a reference to like how she used to talk to him, And I guess that, like the reason that he liked her was because everyone treated him like, you know, god, and she was like really she treated him like a person, and he's like, go on, They'd like been on vacations together. There's a picture of them on camels. So it turns out, I mean, it's like, I know whatever, you know that like people knew each
other on this boat. But I was like, oh, Molly Brown actually lost like a dear friend and it was just some rich guy with a teenage wife. So ultimately, who cares. Estimately I don't feel that bad, but personally must have been heard for her. Yeah that's true, Yeah, poor Molly. Yeah, um okay. So after dinner, Jack to Rose is like, so you want to go to a real party, and he invites Rose to a third class
party below deck and it's a good ass time. Rose is chugging beer, she's smoking cigarettes, she's doing this tippytoe ballet thing where she was on wires for that. Oh okay, quick dancing facts with Jamie. Kate Winslett and Dicabrio had to be trained to dance, and this is them doing all the dancing. Kate Winslett. All of these stories are like, Kate Winslett was lovely and so great. Leonardo DiCaprio was like pretty good, which I would also describe their caliber
of performances in this movie. Yeah, but apparently, like again, I don't know, it just sounds like Leonardo DiCaprio is in his like pussy posse. I'm a little shit era during this because he, like I guess, would really avoid the dance lessons. He like didn't want to do them. And I know, I'm just like you fucking brat, But this is a fun story where the dance coach also
like the dance coaches on the commentary track, it's very comprehensive. Wow, but the dance coach was like, yeah, like Kate was having a hard time, but she worked really hard at
it and she picked up on it pretty quickly. I was proud of her, and I was like, Leo was always avoiding me and he didn't want to go to the lessons and every time and she was like, I would have to come to his trailer between takes to like help him learn like the clogging dance that he does, because that was, like, I mean, it wouldn't have been easy. And she was like, and he eventually learned, but I would always have to knock on his trailer for a while and tell him to put his pet lizard away
before I could come in. He had a pet lizard on set all the time. He had a lizard named Blizzard that like lived with him in Mexico. And I guess that the dance. Every time the dancing startor came by, she'd have to like pound on his trailer door and be like, put the lizard away, it's dancing time. And he'd be like no, They're like what it really like, I don't. I have no particular attachment to Leonardo DiCaprio. I'm too old for him, but I was really endeared to him when I found out that he had a
lizard friend with him the whole time. I'm like, wow, people really were. It sounds like people were really in a strange place mentally on the set of Billy Zane's making abstract art. Leo is spooning his lizard Lizard. It sounds like everyone's in a very, very like weird place with here. But I was like, I wonder whatever became a Blizzard the Lizard. I haven't been able to find pictures of him, damn her. I don't know, I don't know them, I don't I don't know what was going
on with Blizzard. But I just wanted to say, of course there wouldn't be a record of Blizzard. Blizzard, but he saved Leonardo DiCaprio in every way a person can be saved. Okay, Okay, so we're belowdeck at the party. Jack and Rose are really having a blast. They're spinning. The scene ends and what is essentially a congo line. The next day, Wait, Kaitlyn, I found a picture of Leo and Blizzard. Whoa, I'm texting it to you right now. Okay, Wait, they're actually Oh god, why was he so hot during
this time? Why is the picture of him and Blizzard sexy? Wow? He actually there's actually like a bunch of pictures of him on the set of Titanic with Blizzard. Okay, he like loves this. It reminds me of men are so like something is so wrong with them, where like I read I read recently, I forget what I watched. Oh I watched Ticket to Paradise with Julia Roberts and George Clooney.
I didn't finish it, to be honest, but I was reading about George Clooney and George Clooney ended a marriage because one of his why and one of his ex wives was like, I'm really sick of your pet pig, and I guess that it reached the he has I think the pig is no longer with us. But he had a pet pig forever and it was big, and at one point, allegedly one of his marriages pre amal, someone said it's me or the pig, and he said get out. He said, I choose the pig. He chose
the pig. Wow, which I would never recover from that. But all that to say, yeah, Leo and his lizard, George and his pig. Great love that. There's pictures of Leo and Blizzard that actually makes me happy. They're very nice. Oh no, well, we'll post the pictures on the Instagram
when this episode comes out. Oh okay, so sorry. The next morning after this party, Cal and Rose are having breakfast, and Cal screams at her and he flips a table for hanging out with Jack instead of him, because he had his undertaker of a man servant follow Rose, this guy named love Joy. Yeah. Ruth also gets on Rose's case, saying, you cannot see that boy again because it turns out that Rose and Ruth's family money is gone and that Rose needs to marry Cal and like have access to
his fortune to ensure Rose and Ruth's survival. R So, basically Rose needs to stop jeopardizing her relationship with Cal. Frances Fisher had like a really nice or I guess like it just like a very thoughtful kind of like meditation on that scene, and she like, she seems really sweet. She's saying that, how like in the ten years since Titanic could come out, there were a lot of like
younger fans, and I know I was in this. I think that like early in this show, we weren't even quite a like comprehension place where it's like, why is that mom so mean? And like Frances Fisher was like fielding questions like this from young fans of Titanic for years who viewed her as a villain, which there are villain as, you know whatever. But she she did a really I think, like concise way of just like talking about how she would talk to younger fans of the movie.
And she's like, no, I understand why you feel that way. You have to understand. Like she's like, it doesn't make what she did right. But women had no options at this time, they couldn't vote, they were already in a precarious position. She should have been thinking about her daughter's mental well being, but she was thinking about immediacy. And she said, quote, Ruth's pain is that her daughter will not be able to experience safety unquote. And I thought
that was a very empathetic view of that character. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, Okay, So with all this pressure from her mom, Rose relents and she tells Jack that she cannot see him again. And he is like, oh, they've got you trapped, Rose, and you need to break free. You can do it. You're the most amazing, wonderful girl I've never known. And then we're like wow, King, but
she's not having it and she leaves. Meanwhile, mister Andrews is giving a little tour to the rich people, and Rose figures out that there are not enough lifeboats on
board for all the passengers. Also, Captain E. J. Smith is getting Iceberg warnings and were like, um foreshadowing much and history fat apparently for this for this movie, the original like manufacturers of the Titanic, Harland and Wolf or one of the original manufacturers, gave James Cameron access to Thomas Andrews earlier drawings and gave him access to his journals and process and so this production was the first to confirm, even before history books, that there had been
versions of the Titanic in which there were enough lifeboats, but that like, like he says in the movie, like it was considered to make the deck look too cluttered, and so they were gotten rid of. So that was actually breaking freaking news. Wow, I know, kind of cool. Um Okay. So then after having told Jack that she can't see him anymore, she's like, wait a minute, fuck this, and then she goes back to Jack. He's at the I believe the bowl of the ship, the front of it.
He's brooding. But she's like, Jack, changed my mind, and it's sunset, and he's like, get up here. So she like hims on the railing of the ship. And he's like close your eyes, and then he like spreads out her arms and she opens her eyes and she's like, I'm flying and then then I'm and then I'm crying
and it's all a lot. This is a very commonly circulated anecdote, but for that scene, some of the shots are done with a Matt painting of the sunset, but the big kissing shot was done with an actual sunset and they waited for forever. They were like whatever. It was like they had two chances at the shot, and
Kate Winslet it was what, I don't know. I feel like Kate Winslet and James Cameron, their relationship is so confusing, but like this was a positive anecdote with them, where Kate and Lee are up on the railing and then there's one one of the takes where Kate Win's was like we need to go right now, and James Cameron like listened to her and started shooting, and that is
the shot that's used in the movie. And apparently it's a little bit out of focus because it was so like she was like, you need to do it right now, and he had them start shooting before they were fully focused. Checked. Yeah, I can't tell, like I couldn't tell, but like apparently that shot is a little bit out of focus. But they both talk about that and they're like, that was a beautiful collaborative moment, I know. And then she and
Jack kiss, kiss, kiss, yeah, and it's nice. And then they go to her room and she shows him the heart of the ocean and she's like, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls wearing this, wearing only this. And then he goes, yo woga sounds. And then James Cameron goes, what what fun fact about the drawing scene? M So Rose's nude, Jack's drawing her? Everyone knows that's actually James Cameron drawing. We will not
rehash that. A new thing I learned was that, you know how like in the music in that scene is like just a single piano playing the Rose theme A fun uh. I love fun facts. So James Horner may he rest in peace, huge collaborator of James Cameron, amongst others.
But there was like a file confusion where so I guess that like James Horner had recorded himself playing this track on the piano himself as like a test of like it would sound something like this, and like, I don't know what the nineteen ninety six version of the Cloud was, but uploaded it to like a mutual server with the file names sketch sketch meaning this isn't finished, this is a rough draft, right, James Cameron sees a final named sketch and thinks it's for the sketching scene.
And so because I guess James Cameron did a lot of editing or like pre editing for this movie, and there was like he was trying to get this scene together and was like, oh, this isn't quite syncing up, like I don't really know what he's thinking with this, but then figures it out and then it's like, wait, I love this. This like is perfect. It's so like spare and beautiful, and he like called James Horner and he's like, I love sketch and James Harder's like, what
are you talking about? And I guess that, like James Horner like had to really be talked into like letting them use that in the final cut of the movie, because he was like, I had a whole plan and James Cameron's like, no, this is good. I love sketch. Wow, I know it isn't that sweet. It's very sweet. Yeah, the movies, the movie really feeling like a movie in
this scene, tell you what it really is. Okay. So she's like, draw me like one of your French girls, and then he draws her like one of his French girls. It's the drawing we saw at the beginning, and it was the most erratic moment of Rose's life up until that at least. And then you cut to Bill Paxson horny. Okay. Then love Joy, who is still following Rose at Cal's behest, comes in and starts chasing Rose and Jack around the ship.
They end up in like the storage compartments where all of like the big crates and cars are being stored, and they get into a car and Jack is like bebe where to miss and She's like into the stars. And then she pulls him into the back seat and she says, put your hands on me, Jack, and then she, cheering to quote the script, slides under his welcome weight. Now that's something that comes up in all seven episodes, and it should It is just not okay that that's
the way that that was written down. No one should have said that. No one should have thought that and James Cameron should have had to pay some sort of fine, He should have to chop all of his fingers off. He Oh my god, what is give me James Cameron's Banshees of Innisharon? Honestly? Like who is he sending his
damn fingers too? Like? Who? I wonder if there has to be a director that James Cameron can't stand right, Like I know that Del Toro is one of his best friends and he has a lot of good seems like in terms of like I mean, and this means nothing because it's like among male otours, he seems to be pretty well liked. But I'm like, there has to be someone who's on his shit list? Oh who is he mail in those fingers too? I want to know?
Or Banshees of Innisharon where El Toro is Colin Farrell and James Cameron is Brendan Gleeson, where one day James Cameron's like, I don't want to be your friend anymore and Del Toro was like, why that would be so sad? Well, it was so sad, but it happened to Colin Farrell, I know, And it's always so sad. It's the saddest story about friends who are boys. Okay, So, so Jack and Rose have sex in the back of the car and this is when we get the hand slapping the
steamy window moment, iconic love it. Then they go back up to the deck of the ship and Rose is like, when the ship doks, I'm getting off with you, and he's like, oh my god, what. And then they're kissing and they're giggling and it's distracting the two lookouts who are in like the crow's nest area. And that is like a brilliant writing decision of like, um, they saw people kissing and they got a horny. Therefore there they
have blood on their hands for the Titanic sunk um. Yeah. Yeah, So they're too distracted to notice the iceberg that is directly ahead of them. But then they look up and they see the iceberg and they sound the alarm. Then there is, in my opinion, maybe the best and most tension filled sequence ever committed to film. For all of the crew is scrambling around. They're trying to prevent the ship from hitting the iceberg. There's this moment of is
it gonna hit is it gonna miss? Well, I don't know which is well because you know how it is, but it still makes you feel that way. But like it so good, and my already very high opinion of the sequence was further improved. There's like a million little bit It's like that scene is also full of like historical references too. Like that sequence specifically, there was a lot of care taken to like reference survivors who were very helpful in piecing together He's an account of what
actually happened. And so there's like one of the men that worked in the engine room who is like a huge source for like giving insight into what was going on there. He like appears and like has a line of dialogue. And then like there's just like all of these like incidental players in the story that like helped build out this clear picture that this movie is even able to exist because of And I just I just I love shit like that. I'm so glad that it's like you take the time to like have this or
even shit like the fucking Pomeranian. You're like movie feels like a movie, folks. I love it. James Cameron does his research. He goes to the library and he reads those books. He stays, he and he stays for more than a day. I actually don't think he goes to the library. Someone goes on his behalf and a photocopy, a lot of stuff. I don't know how much he leaves his house brings a library to him, but he
consumes it is the point. Yes, yes, so anyway, so there's this very tension filled moment and ultimately, historically famously the Titanic hits the iceberg and it is blink chaos. It goes Yeah. The fully artist was on the thing being like, so it not a lot of people know this, but when they hit the iceberg it kind of went boink.
What if it was like, what's the like I'm thinking of like a like a an old tiny like a Hannah barbera sound effect of like k like when Fred flint Stone gets hit on the head, was like, that should be a thing. Maybe that's a project I will undergo where I because I'm already oh yeah, knee deep in my re editing the endings of movies to make them far more shrekky. And maybe I will read and fully work re edit famous scenes of movies, changing the
fully around to make it really well exciting. That's what I did with figure skaters during the Olympics, and it got it ruined my life for a while. So just be careful who you're fucking with, Okay, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I watched an interview with James Camp. I'm just I'm in the zone, like I know, he's not a good person. I cannot stop watching there. I was watching an interview he did at the time. Yeah, in
like ninety seven with famously disgraced Charlie Rose. But there were two things he said in the interview that made me laugh with then because I'm from the future and they're not. But two things he said in the interview that made me laugh was that he said several times like oh, like he was talking about how whatever, like you will not get engaged into the story of the Titanic unless you care about the characters, and you also can fully appreciate what the ship was in its heyday,
like what it meant. And he was like, well, you know, like you can go on and on and on about the power of the love between two people until you're blue in the face. But I don't know why you do that. And I was like, blue in the face interesting, until you're blue in the face. Yeah, and thus Avatar was born, and that he was foreshadowing himself hard and then like at the end, famously disgraced Charlie, Rose asks like, oh, are you going to keep making epics after this? And
he says he it's pretty funny. He was like, yeah, No, I don't think I'm ever going to make another like three hour movie. I don't think that I would do that. And I was like, wow, well you're gonna say that until you're blue in the face, my friend, because you're about to make Avatar one and then two, and then three, other four and then five. We're never going to escape, all right, Okay? Moving on. So the ship hits the iceberg.
It's chaos as water starts cascading into the lower decks of the ship and into the boiler room where the workers are trying desperately to escape. Water starts seeping onto the floors of the third classrooms. Meanwhile, first class people
are like teh, what's going on? Then Jack and Rose go to tell Ruth and Cal about the ship hitting the iceberg and the gravity of the situation, but Cal is busy framing Jack for stealing the heart of the Ocean, and Jack gets arrested and handcuffed to a pipe in the Master at Arms office, and Rose is like, damn, I guess my boyfriend who I met two days ago
is a thief that sucks. Life comes at you fast, like yeah, And then mister Andrews is having a meeting with Bruce Ismay and the Captain and a VHS tape one We're in it, baby, saying the ship will sink. It's a mathematical certainty. We've got an hour two of the most and then the captain turns to Bruce's million says, I believe you make it your headlines mysteries may and then we go because it's like the most iconic. I maybe, like there are so many amazing lines, but I do
think that that's my favorite. It's really good because it has like this like generational significance too, Like I understand like if a seventeen year old watched this movie, there's no way that would be their favorite line. But I feel like the VHS split it has a generational significance. It's true, it's my favorite line in the movie. And also I'm like Bitchie much Captain Smith, what do you like?
You did it? Like? Okay? Quick fun fact. I think maybe we've I feel like maybe we've referenced this before. But Bernard Hill, who plays Captain Smith, was the only cast member, which is like, this makes sense, but he was the only cast member to have previously also been in a different Titanic movie. Have we ever talked about that? Whoa oh, you mean kind of like how oh, what's the SpongeBob voice actor who was in both Pinocchio, Tom Kenny Tom Kenny. Yes, it's Tom Kenny. It's the Tom
Kenny Pinocchio syndrome. The ground was set by Bernard Hill and Titanic properties. But other Titanic movie was he in? He was in A Night to Remember, I think, the second most famous Titanic movie that came out. I believe in the fifties he would have been a small child. Yeah, no, he was a young man. I think that he is like in the because this is the nineties. It's like forty years later. So I think, you know, Bernard Hills like in his maybe late sixties or like sometimes somewhere
in his sixties, Susan his early twenties. But he plays the part of Officer Fleet, who I believe is one of the guys that spots the iceberg in A Night to Remember and he, I guess there's like a fun I keep saying there's a fun anecdote, but but I'm right. One of the producers was talking about how like Bernard Hill, you know, he was like, he'd played Officer Fleet and now he's playing the captain forty five years later. How wild?
And so he spoke with the actor who plays Officer Fleet in this movie, and again, I just I'm like, the more you just hear about the actors, it just sounds like they are really like it felt like it sounds like they were going through what we as a world would go through during lockdown, where you're just like kind of stuck somewhere and you're just kind of like something is different in your brain but you can't but there's no one like completely with it to verify that with.
So the guy who played Officer Fleet had been in Mexico where he didn't know anybody for six weeks and then met Bernard Hill and he was like, Hey, how long were you on set waiting to do your scenes for A Night to Remember? And Bernard Hill was like, m two hours. You all this poor guy is like losing it and it's like not himself anymore, and Bernard Hills like, I don't know, kind of back then you would just kind of go to burbank and like say your lines and get the fuck out, like and it
just sounded very I don't know. I guess if I was an older actor, I would um, I would clown on younger actors in a similar way. I'd be like, yeah, must suck for you. Anyways, Anyways, the part that I formerly played Justice or else, I'm gonna bully you. I don't know. Why don't they turning? I wonder if it was that guy or the other guy. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, okay, So the crew starts loading the first class passengers into the lifeboats, women and children first,
of course, which was not maritime law. That was usual. Oh generally it was every man for himself. Oh yeah, so so that's happening. The string quartet is playing. Rose is about to get on a lifeboat with her mom and Molly and the other rich women, and then Cal says something very cow and shitty is this one? He says, I should have kept that drawing. It would have been worth a lot more by morning. Yeah, and so once
again she's like, fuck this. She says my favorite line of the movie to Cal, which is you unimaginable bastard, you bits in his face. Kate winslet baby, Oh, it wouldn't have worked with it with a hairpin. Grow up right. Oh, it's so good the way she does it, it's so cathartic, it's wonderful. And then she runs off to go find Jack, who is still handcuffed to a pipe and the room that he's in is filling with water. Rose finds him, but oh no, there's no key to the handcuffs, so
she goes and gets an axe. She chops the handcuff chain, freeing him, and then they have to swim through the freezing cold water back to safety. Jack and Rose then link up with fabrit Ceo and Tommy. They're still below deck. Wait at this point, has she already punched the employee in the face. Yes, she does that right before she
finds the axe. Right, Okay. I wanted to just share a quick anecdote about that before we get because the third class fact that is like included in the movie is that in the movie, it's like Tommy runs the charge of like the bench through the Yea. So apparently that actually did happen, and there was a bunch of Irish third class passengers who did something very similar, which I didn't know. I thought that was really cool that
they included that, but I wanted to share fun. James Cameron another just James Cameron sitting in a room talking line, because again he talks about all of his characters as if someone else has written them, but in a way where it's like he really likes the movie, he enjoys watching it. So after Rose whatever, when Rose is coming back down looking for the axe and there's like a panicked employee, he's like, you have to come with me,
and she punches him in the face. James Cameron says, quote Rose is all about getting people to listen to her, and that's what you get, long pause if you don't listen to Rose. He's kind of he's kind of talking about nothing for most of it. But I was just I was so delighted. I was like, you just sound
like a guy watching the movie. I mean, I imagine it's very difficult to have to comment basically NonStop during a three hour and fourteen minute movie, but you just insisted on doing it by himself, Like I'm just like, why didn't you just like invite a second purse? You know, why are there fourteen people on one commentary track and then you doing this for the other one. Yeah, but it was but it was literally just like random things
like that. And then just like facts James Cameron knows about the Titanic because ultimately that is why he did it. He really just wanted an excuse to go explore the wreckage of Titanic, and that is why the movie exists. Dude, I respect the hell out of that as like, as someone who has made their living just like getting other people to pay for things that I wanted to do anyways and then making something about it. It is the perfect crime. Pretty cool. Yeah, works for everyone. Okay, So
Jack and Rose link up with Fabrizio and Tommy. They are still below deck because while the first class people are being loaded onto the lifeboats, the third class passengers are being locked behind gates. So Jack and Tommy and the other guys break down a gate back on deck. It's chaos as people are trying to get on lifeboats because there are famously not enough. Jack gets Rose to a lifeboat and kl is there and he's like, I've arranged for both Jack and I to get on a boat.
So she's like, okay, I'll get on this lifeboat. But then she looks up at Jack and once again she's like fuck this and she jumps and then Billy Zanne gives another one of my like top ten line reads of the movie. He's pretty heavily featured in my top ten line reads. He goes one way or another. By the way he says one way or another, I'm like, how did you even do that? With your mouth? I always win Jack one way or another? He says one way or another as if it is like a single word,
Like you're just like, how did he do that? That is so well? Okay, quick thing about DiCaprio that based on because we've covered a number of Leonardo DiCaprio flimsy on this podcast. We I believe it was the summer of twenty twenty. I remember where it was when we covered Inception, and we bravely made the connection that Leonardo DiCaprio is constantly wet in clothes in his movies all the time. It happens with alarming frequency. It happens in
almost every single one. It's kind of like it's in his contract or something like I have to be in clothes submerged in water. So imagine my shock when I'm listening to the producer slash everybody Who's not James Cameron commentary track that like, Leonardo DiCaprio is glaringly missing. He was not available. He was inside of a bear or whatever he was doing. Like yeah, but producer John Landau says, very matter of factly, Leonardo DiCaprio hates acting in the water.
And I was like, wow, that's a shock from all
of his movies. And then Kate Winslet jumps onto that and says that he was such a baby every time he had to be in the water, and she I think she was like a little she sounded ten years later annoyed about it because she was just like She's like, and it's just interesting because you know, he was in the water for a lot of scenes, but not even half as many scenes as I was in the water, and I got hypothermia and I just like kind of really didn't complain as much as he did on set.
But apparently, like even though the water scenes were interesting to hear about again, it's like Kate Winslet is just like left in the fucking trenches in this because in spite of not lighting king to act in the water. Leonardo DiCaprio is scuba certified for some reason. Okay, probably because he's in the water all the time even before this movie, so he's already scuba certified. But Kate Winslet, there's like an anecdote in the scene where they're trying
to unlock the gate so that they don't drown. Yes, in that scene, Kate Winslet had like a panic attack on set because they were filling the set with water like practical effects style, and so there were only a couple of inches to breathe. But to James Cameron's credit, like it seems like he did everything he could to set up safety protocols and like there were rescue divers, Like no one was significantly injured or died. It sounds like the PCP thing was about as bad as it got.
But like the safety instructor showed Kate Winslett, like it is gonna feel scary because there only will be a couple of inches to breathe. But if you push up on the ceiling, there is a ton of space and you're fine, and that was like how the scene was set up, and so she felt comfortable with that. But then it happened that, like when they were doing a take, she pushed up on the scene and the ceiling stuck and so there was not infinite space and she had
like a panic attack. And then like I had to take some time during the day like, yeah, I know, it just this movie sounded like it sounded like everything was done that was possible, but still it's like you're sinking a boat every day. It just sounded terrible. Yeah, I could not. Sorry, I was looking through our Instagram to find the post that we made of all of the like screen grabs from movies where Leonardo DiCaprio was in water. He had been in water many times at
this point. The fact that he's still complaining about it is unprofessional. And many times after Oh yeah, because we've got Inception obviously Titanic, the Beach, Shutter, Island, Great gats Be, Romeo and Juliet. He's in the water, is he not Romeo and Juliet? That was pretty Titanic. He falls in a pool in Wolf of Wall Street, he's in water. In the Revenant, he falls into water and what's eat and Gilbert Grape. It's just like he's always in water,
and he's always in his clothes in water. It's honestly, like, with that in mind, it's absolutely shocking that Kate Winslet is an avatar way of water and he isn't right, Like, if there's anyone who's primed for being in the water, it's dicapria. But apparently I was just I was truly like shocked into Paul to hear that he didn't like it, because not to empathize with him, because who cares, but you're also like, wow, if he really truly doesn't like
acting in water, his life is a nightmare. Like he literally does he know he's going to be in the water for another fifteen years minimum, you know, like they're not going to take him out of the tank. Like I assumed he liked being in the water or why would this be happening to him so much? But apparently as of ninety seven, he did not like being the water. He was peeing in the water, he was complaining about the water. Blizzard starving to death off screen. Who knows
what's going on with Blizzard Blizzard the Lizard Blizzard the Lizard. Yeah, okay, so roses in this lifeboat. But then she's looking up at Jack and she's like, actually, no, I'm going to jump off the lifeboat, jump onto Titanic and be with Jack. And then she and Jack are running toward each other and they so much meet up, and then they're kissing and so beautiful. She's like, you jump by jump and he's like, yeah, God, they're so ridiculous. I really I
really love them. That sequence never doesn't get me big time. See, I'm just like, romance is dead. I have no feelings and I only have feelings as ruined my life. It gets me every time. If you want to feel some
technical distance from it. There's a fun they had to like shoot that upshot of Leonardo DiCaprio, like when the boat is lowering from both angles, because they only have one side of the boat right and so apparently there's a few cuts in the back and forth where or DiCaprio's part will shift just so because so much of this movie was shot in reverse, that I sent to you something that I think should be back to cast merch where something that wasn't completely symmetrical in its costuming
or whatever it was, such as lettering lettering, so like a White star Line uniform that says white star Line. They would have to shoot it not but for certain scenes they would have to shoot it with a regular costume, and then they would also have to shoot it with a costume that just everything backwards, because they're like, oh, well this is for this side of the boat, so we're just going to reverse shot everything, so this will make things easier. And I want a backwards White star
Line sweatshirt so bad. I really you can design that, I know, and I feel like our listeners will value it as well, and it's it's the best kind of piece of clothing because it's like a little annoying but not too annoying, which is my favorite, my favorite, and it's like when you know, you know, yeah, And it's also a conversation starter. But if you don't like, that's fine and I'll keep walking. Yeah, I'm an adult, right, Okay.
So Rose has jumped off the lifeboat and met back up with Jack, which makes cal Very upset that Rose chose Jack over him. I hope you're all happy together. He grabs love Joy's gun and starts shooting at them, so they have to escape and run back down into the bowels of the ship which are very full of water, and there's this little boy that Jack and Rose try to save. They almost get trapped behind another gate, but
they make it out at the last second. Quick thing about the little boy that was shot obviously so that there was no little boy stunt double that was knocked over by fifty thousand tons of water, But in any case, like the way that that scene was shot, I just thought it was so interesting where in that scene a stunt man and a little dummy of a little boy are knocked over by a ton of water, and then the cast off of that water, like a ton of water,
also hits Jack and Rose. That shot is one of the first face swapping like deep fake shots ever committed to film. That is not the actors, that's their stunt doubles, because it was like, you couldn't ask an actor to be hit with that amount of force. Those are stunt doubles. And yeah, Leonardo DiCaprio and Caitlin's let's face Our Deep faked onto that and I watched it to try to see if, like how obvious it was. It didn't feel super obvious to me. But I think we should go
back and watch it together sometime. But apparently that's like one of the first deep fake shots ever done. Interesting, I know it's mild. Well, Jamie come over literally whenever to watch Titanic. I mean, like we will probably watch it on tour and then also at the movies. The movies. Yeah, we come to this place for Titanic. Oh baby, we'll go into that place to laugh, to cry, to watch Titanic. We are going to that place, okay. Meanwhile, cal is trying to get on a lifeboat and he uses a
lost child as an excuse to get on. I have a child, so iconic. Nearby, Captain E. J. Smith is disassociating, yes, which is a creative choice by Bernard Hill. Mmmmmm. Interesting. The band stops playing, but then one of them keeps playing by himself, and then they all joined back in It's beautiful. Then there's this montage where you see the old couple in bed together is a door Strauss and his wife real people, yes, In the scene with the Irish woman and her children, that is we've talked about
this before. That was an actor named I don't remember, but she was like a James Cameron you stand by character. She had previously acted in brown face for him, which is alien. We had that discussion in Aliens our Aliens episode. But fun fact for Titanic, I feel like it is very very well remembered that she talks to her children about the land of tier Nanogue and an Irish folktale, and she came up with that that was not a
James Cameron original. That was her doing research on a bedtime story that an Irish woman of that time would have told her kids, which I thought was really sweet cool, that was nice. Yes, um, Okay, so we seeah, we see the old couple, We see the Irish mummy with her kids. We see all this chaos continuing to ensue as half of the boat is now completely underwater. People are falling off the ship into the water. The captain's room floods, a smokestack falls over and crushes for Brizzio. Okay,
quick thing there. I'm sorry. I know we've been recording this for nine hundred years. It's been eighty four years. Yes, okay, So are you aware of the alternate Fabrizio death? Yes, because it's in the screenplay. Okay, So I just wanted to rehash it Fabrizio. Apparently it was shot so that they had multiple options for Fabrizio to die, so by the time between the script and the shooting, they were like, we're not sure. We know this character is gonna die,
We're not sure how. Danny Nucci had some fun quotes about it. He was just like, I died five or six different times, and then I just had to go see the movie and see what they chose. Wow, because in the original, like the smokestack is cged in, so like that shot very easily could have been him being like, oh no, it's so wet, or like whatever. You know. Okay, this did sound familiar, so you've probably told me before,
but it was just like fun to revisit. There is a version of it that they shot that I haven't seen before, but I'm sure he's just somewhere of Fabrizio gets out of the wreck, paddles over to the lifeboat. The cal is in gets up and says, you don't understand, I have to go to a medica, like in his Italian accent, that's definitely real. Whatever, and then cal wax him with an oar on the head and says it's
that way and that's how he dies. He dies via blunt trauma with Cal, and I think that everyone decided that like Cal was maybe bad enough already and that was maybe not need to commit murder, even though he already tried to murder his fiancee and Jack Um, Yeah, he was bad enough, But that was, like, I just was wild. I think I had forgotten about that and it was a wild thing to revisit. That's the version
that's in the draft of the screenplay that's readily available. Okay, if you download the screenplay of Titanic, which you can find online. It's very similar to the finished movie that we all know and love, but there are a few scenes, such as the Fabrizio death scene, that are pretty different in this version of the script than what ends up in the movie. But yeah, that's the version of his death that is in that draft of the script. Pretty funny. Yeah, yeah,
So Fabrizio tragically dies via smoke stuck. Also, Tommy had been shot a while back. I didn't put that in when it actually happened. Yeah, Jack and Rose are running to the other end of the ship the stern, trying to stay on the ship as long as possible, and Rose is like Jack. This is where we first met Kate for those scenes because they were like chained or
like harnessed to the side of the boat. Like there was like a set that was called like the rotating poop deck for like those ending scenes where it would
just be like mechanically up and down. But it was so difficult to navigate that Kate Winslet took it upon herself again icon to put like basically a full makeup kit in the pocket of her the big jacket where the heart of the ocean is supposed to be, and she would do her makeup touchups and Leonardo DiCaprio's makeup touchups so that a makeup artist wouldn't have to get like harnessed up onto the boat to fix them before shots. She's the best. She rocks, I know, She's so cool.
Love it, brock, love it Okay. The stern. The stern is rising up and up as the bow sinks. This is when a guy falls off the ship and hits the propeller and spins, which everyone I cannot even count. Yeah, how many people I've been like I love the movie Titanic and someone will be like, wow, the only thing I remember from that movie is when the guy hits
the propeller. We talked about this very briefly in our Avatar episode where like when push comes to shove, James Cameron knows how to kill someone in an interesting way, Yeah,
because I didn't because Avatar. I think this is not controversial at all, but like it's just like not as memorable a movie as Titanic is, But there are a number of kills at the peak of Avatar's action that are equally like oh my god, what Like people are being ripped in a half and you're just like, holy shit, Like, yeah, when when the moment comes, he is not afraid to really let people die, I mean, the guilty and the innocent, because it's not like I mean, at least an Avatar,
it's a little more cathartic because it's like the colonizers, so they're asking for it, they're asking to be torn in half. Propeller guy, I mean, tell me what he did wrong? We don't know, we don't know, we don't know who that is. Can you imagine how horrific? I mean, I don't think this would be the stronger creative choice, but like in a world where we had met like there had been some plant in payoff with Propeller guy, like we had met him before. Oh my god, I
would be devastated. Yeah, yeah, I know. I know. Fabrizio's girlfriend she's nuked. Yeah, you know, she got on the wrong side of the rails. Sorry, babe, it's so sad. It's sad. M okay. Then the ship breaks in half and the back half of the ship sinks and Rose and Jack end up in the water among hundreds of other people. They swim over to a door and they both try to get on it. It flips over because it's not about size, it's about BWENI as we've said, so just Rose ends up on the door. Jack is
in the freezing water. They are waiting for the lifeboats to come back and save the people in the water. Rose is like, I'm really cold and I can't feel my body and I feel like I might die. And Jack is like, You're not going to die here. You're going to live a full life. Promise me you'll do that, and never let go of that promise, almost like that's setting it up for a scene that's going to happen shortly where she does that and then she dies and I don't. But you know it's hard to say, I
do have one. Quickly, I want to add in that I forgot I I just am toggling between my commentary notes. Something I thought was interesting about when the ship is going down, like all those poop deck shots. Yeah, when the ship is like submerging for the final time. Again, just like there's so many like early I don't know, like again, he's a batman, but but but boy did
he get results. You know, like there are all of these like CG things that are now so normal in movies that like James Cameron was like innovative on the set of Titanic where instead of because like CG was still very much whatever in process, Like there were all of these shots when the boat was straight up and sinking the last section of it that they would call toilet paper shots because they would have the human extras and like you know, Jack and Rosen and the chef
and the girlfriend and all this stuff for actors who would have to fall and get hurt in CG that you couldn't do in a way that was safe for a stunt actor. They would have an actor sometimes actually Kate winslet drop a roll of toilet paper from their mark, so that the post production editor could go back and cg in the green screen shot of someone falling and
like hitting something or whatever it was. And so there were all these things called toilet paper shots, and you could see some of them on line of just like famous actors dropping a roll of toilet paper. It's kind of fun. That's fun. I like it. Okay. So Jack is like, never let go of that promise, and she says, I'll never let go. Jack. Some time passes, a lifeboat finally shows up with sexy crew member number twelve or whatever, played by Ione Griffith as fifth Officer Harold Lowe. Yes,
he's the person I have a story about. So like, oh, Kathy Bates in the commentary, because he goes on to have a bit of a career, which even James Cameron says in his commentary, he's like, this guy's he's he's
a fantastic before. I mean, I think that that's about it, but you know he's done a thing or two, right, And Kathy Bates said, like in the day, like where they're in the fucking tank in Burbank, but that day specifically where it's a bunch of extras literally lying motionless, pretending to be dead, and that was like a really emotional day, and that she was so moved by his performance that she was like sobbing on set in a way that was like she wasn't supposed to be and
it isn't in the movie, but like she just had a really emotionally difficult time and she said that like she she just she was like, I gotta hand it to him. I cried myself to sleep that night when he's like doing thee can never be my Hammie, And you're just like, oh, they freaking can't except for rows of course, and she's not real and those pop and the two poperanians fucking dog paddling for their Oh my god, I feel like if honestly I mean and I say
that because he's in my lap right now. But like if we was on the Titanic, I would die and he would live. You would put him on the door and you would sacrifice yourself. No, I would get on the door and leave him for dead and I would still die and he would still live. He's just very strong. I would be like, listen, catch survivor. I'd expected ze wise, you gotta go and he'd be like, I understand, but then I would I would just not be strong enough. I would die and he would be like, all right,
let me hop up on this. Also, if it was me and Flee on the door, I feel like the boy and c would you know, Flee weighs nine pounds, he'd be fine. That's true. That's so true. Yeah, um, okay, so you and Grifolts, you and McGregor all over again. I don't I mean, I bullshitted my way through it, and you did not call me out, which I thought was really kind of you. I said my aunt will
be something kind of close to that. I feel like people have tried to tell us what it is before it because it's a Welsh name spelled yes I O A N. That's his first name, g r u f f u d D. I simply don't know how it's pronounced anyway. He's just a lot of vowels. It's hard to know. Yeah. But he shows up on a lifeboat and Rose is like, Jack, there's a boat, but Jack
is dead. Oops, and she calls out. She says that she goes oops, and then she's like, I'll never like, oh, my promise, And then she tries to call out and get mister Lifeboat's attention. Then she swims over and blows on a whistle and she is saved. Cut back to the kell Dish where Old Rose and Broc love it and all those people. Brock is having a feeling for
the first time in his life. He's having a hard time yeah, and Rose says, I never spoke about Jack before this, because a woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets, and Brok is like, damn, I never really appreciated Titanic before. I never let it in, but now I get it. Then we see Rose on the deck of the Kellydish. She has the heart of the ocean in her hand. We have talked through previously the alternate ending to this movie, which sucks. We will not rehash
it here. There's a long garbagee Susie Amos, Bill Paxton like, what what hey, Old Rose, please restate the moral of the movie. Version that absolutely sucks. But this version, I just feel like this just happens to be the one movie where every right choice was made because the ending to this movie is perfect. I do hate that she throws the necklace in the water, but I mean, ideally would she, you know, like sell it and then redistribute
the funds. Yes, symbolically for a person who never existed with a mcguffin, it doesn't bother me and it makes me cry. Yeah, because she was like, ultimately this one, because it was like whatever, ultimately this was meaningless. It was the love that mattered. And now having done this, I can die or I can fall asleep and have a dream about it. Okay. So Rose has the heart of the ocean. Boring because of that scene earlier where Cal is like, I put the diamond in the coat,
and I put the coat on her. Put the coat on her. So Rose, and then let's not forget that the depression hit him pretty hard and he put a pistol in his mouth this year or so she read, yeah, or so she read. We don't know, we don't know. Yeah, he could be like a Pomeranian. He could still be. So Rose has the heart of the ocean, and she's had it this whole time, and she throws it in
the water and she goes, ah, God, I'm annoyed. Then no, she's like con Then we see Rose in bed with all of her pictures of the full life that she lived, because she never let go of her promise to Jack. All of these photos were photoshopped except for Kate Winslet on the horse because Kate and which James Cameron pointed out because he's like and Kate is afraid of horses. Oh, I know, my friend. And then what happens? Okay. So some people will interpret this as Rose dying and going
to heaven. Other really cool and really smart people will interpret this as Rose falling asleep and having a dream. But what we saw orch just people who haven't really grappled with their mortality. I have something to I have something to share her because James Cameron has a bonanza with this thing. He makes it. He has a little bit of fun, okay with this, so he says, quote the big ambiguity here is is she alive and dreaming or is she dead and on her way to Titanic heaven? Here?
And of course I'll never tell. I mean, I know what was intended at the time, but that doesn't mean I have to go blurting it out. I know you bought this expensive special edition DVD, which I did, and you were hoping for the answer. But the answer is that has to be something that you supply personally and as an individual. Wow, isn't that awesome? And so it says something about people based on their interpretation of what happens. It says that everyone. It says that he, I think
what in my opinion, like genuinely in my opinion. It says that whatever creative choice he made didn't read as strongly as he thought it would. And then he's like, um so that's kind of art right, like, which is what I would do in the same situation where I'm like, oh, yeah, I made an unclear choice. Um that was on purpose, and I think it's kind of iconic that And I
hope he never tells us. And I hope that we both think that we're right until we either fall asleep or die, which means I'm right, we will die one day. We will not just keep falling asleep. But but I liked I was. I was free entically transcribing that because I was so excited to be like he said something and it was not it was. I love that he
refuses to be clearer. It's it's great. Um So the dream or heaven, based on your interpretation is And James Cameron says this scene I cry at my own movie, which is so which is I was like, I cry at your own movie. So good for you, Good for you. So we see young Rose. She's like entering the big like grand staircase area of Titanic. Jack is waiting for her at the top of the staircase just like you said, they're surrounded by everyone who was on the ship. Rose
walks up the staircase and she and Jack kiss the end. Yay, I love Caitlin, great job, I loved. My last fun fact to share is that James Cameron's well, actually, no, I have two more fun I'm okay, okay. My last James Cameron fun fact is that they shot that last The first of all, everyone who shot the staircase dream slash death sequence did not think it would be included in the final cut. It was something that Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio thought was far too corny to make
the final cut. But then it did. But they also shot it with them applauding and without them applauding, and we're back and forth pretty close. But they chose applauding, and I think that was the right choice. The final thing is the last, the true last sequence in this movie is the celine dion my heart will go on sequence. I did not know the story attached to this, and I love it, so tell me. I'm going to share it and then we can explode, we can sink into
the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. I'm ready. So I guess that there was like a shared opinion of James Cameron and James Horner that they did not like when movies ended with a song. They both thought it was goofy and corny and they didn't like it. But when James Horner was thinking about ways to end the movie, he started thinking about a song and so he like privately started working on something he privately not telling James Cameron,
hired a lyricist put together this song. He went to Vegas, he saw Selene and he was like, I'm gonna hit her up. I have enough, like and they secretly recorded this song unbeknownst to James Cameron in New York, and James Horner was like, hey, like it's pretty like unlikely that this will be included in the movie, but like here's your money, and like thanks for doing this. Like then after it was recorded, James Horner, who sounded like a very like quiet man who like chose his moments
kind of person. So once he has the Song of the Century like V recording, he sits on it for six weeks, waiting for James Cameron to be in the right mood to be receptive to the idea of a song ending the movie. Yeah, And then six weeks later James Horner's like, so I tried something out and like, just let me know what you think. He plays a song and then James Cameron's like, is this Selene Dion
And James Horner's like, yeah, Selene Deon. I just kind of threw it together over the course of several months, and James Cameron to his again, I feel like when the idea is really good, he will acknowledge it. And he was like, let me just think about this, and then he brought the song to his I guess at that time teenage daughter and was like, what do you think And his teenage daughter was like, it's the Song of the Century, you fool. And that's how the song
got it into the movie. Wow, isn't that wild? Get like there were so many everything perfect happened with Titanic. It's the best movie ever, moviemaking is magical and horrible and yes, two things can be true. That's our seventh Titanic episode. Everyone, you came to this place.
