The film Titanic, produced in 1997, is already 25 years old, but even so, until today, it attracts millions of fans around the world. The feature tells the fatal story of a love between a young artist, named Jack, and a rich young woman, Rose, who are the central characters and drive fans crazy in all their scenes.
The film, which is still watched several times by the public, features a variety of characters, including rich people, employees and crew. But, by presenting the story on a ship, it brings exciting and very captivating scenes to all those who watch it.
It is essential to highlight that the production of the film was very expensive, mainly because it had to represent a shipwreck after a collision with an iceberg.
Facts about the movie 'Titanic'
What most people don't know is that the film's director, James Cameron, made visits to the bottom of the sea to see the wreckage of the real Titanic, which sank in 1912. In total, there were 12 expeditions to see the ship, adding up to a visit time much longer than the Titanic passengers spent on the ship. Cameron also served as the film's editor, screenwriter and producer.
“Titanic”, for 12 years, was the box office champion around the world. As a result, the film received several awards over time, including 11 of the 14 Oscars for which it competed.
However, even with all these nominations, the film did not get the award for acting. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio was not seen as the fittest to play the role of Jack, and Kate Winslet also had difficulties being selected and playing the role of Rose.
Another curiosity is that Winslet was the victim of pneumonia for not using thermal clothing while doing her scenes in the water. In addition, the scene in the movie where the ship collides with the iceberg had the same time as the real-life sinking, with exactly 37 seconds in duration.
The shipwreck scenes required a lot of personnel and a lot of water. For this, around 120,000 liters of water were used for the recordings.
Now, a not so pleasant curiosity is that, during filming, many production employees were hospitalized after eating soup adulterated with angel dust (phencyclidine), a substance anesthetic. Those responsible for the incident were never found.
A fact also important to highlight is that Lindsay Lohan was quoted for a role in the film, but was rejected by producer James Cameron. This is because the actress, still a child at the time, was a redhead, as well as the protagonist, which could cause confusion for the public.
