Jack's death at the end of Titanic
isn't about the amount of space

There's an ongoing debate
about whether Jack could have fit

on the door with Rose -
was it big enough for both of them,

could the life jackets add buoyancy,
or would the hypothermia

“Cameron said, quote,
'You're underwater tying

this thing on in 28-degree water…
so by the time you come back up

Director James Cameron himself
has said that Jack had to die.

“Based on our experiments,
we have to find that they both

“I think you guys
are missing the point here.

doesn't lie in the physics
of surviving very cold water,

Jack has to die because he exists
in order to empower Rose

“You must promise me
that you'll survive.

And once that story purpose
is fulfilled, he's gone.

Before we go on we want
to talk a little bit

Skillshare is a superb
online learning community

When we look back on
Titanic as a culture,

we tend to fixate on the
insanely iconic romance scenes.

But a big focus of the actual movie
is on the theme of finding

We're told almost right away
that Rose feel depressed and trapped.

“To me it was a slave ship,
taking me back to America in chains.”

As she's sitting in
the dining room, we hear

“I felt like I was standing
at a great precipice,

with no one to pull me back,
no one who cared...

And this happens to be the very moment
when Jack appears in her life --

Yes, we the viewers do see Jack
before this point, of course,

and the two briefly lock eyes
before this on the deck.

But from Rose's perspective,
it's as if Jack conveniently

springs into existence
precisely when she needs him --

to stop her from ending her life
and reveal to her a better

“Come on… come on,
give me your hand.

Now, if we fast forward from
this moment of their meeting

to near the end of the film,
the moment when Jack dies

is also the moment when Rose
finally commits wholeheartedly

She decides to cling to life
even when at this point it would be

far easier to just let go
and go gentle into that good night…

but no, she's going to rage,
rage against the dying of the light.

So by comparing these two scenes
when Jack enters Rose's life

and when he leaves it,
we see can Jack's dramatic purpose

to keep the fire going within her --
to rekindle in her the desire to live.

“You're going to die
if you don't break free.

Maybe not right away
because you're strong.

But… sooner or later that fire
that I love about you, Rose…

Rose feels she's trapped
because it's inconceivable

in her society to leave a man
as rich as her fiancé Cal.

“Your father left us nothing
but a legacy of bad debts

And that name is the only
card we have to play.”

Poor little rich girl…
what does she know about misery.”

“No… no, that's not
what I was thinking.

What I was thinking was
what could have happened

to this girl to make her think
she has no way out.”

Before the Titanic hits the iceberg,
money, expressed as the classes onboard,

seems all-important, especially to
the people in first class.

Remember, they love money,
so just pretend like

you own a gold mine…
and you're in the club.”

But when we're facing down death,
all the riches in the world

The movie illustrates this perfectly
when Cal tries to bribe

First Officer Murdoch
for a seat on the lifeboat.

But this man is about to die;
so what use is money to him?

“Your money can't save you
any more than it can save me.”

Aside from the fact that
first class women and children

get priority on the lifeboats,
if your ship is going down

what does it matter what class
you're going to die in?

“Will the lifeboats be
seated according to class?”

Near the end of the movie,
we're told Cal commits suicide

after losing much of his money
in the Crash of '29 --

“But the crash of '29
hit his interests hard,
