People Spot Inaccuracy In 'Titanic' That Sinks The Whole Film

James Cameron's Titanic is the third highest grossing movie of all time, and for good reason. The film has it all: drama, romance, history, and Kate Winslet. Despite its popularity, there are some crucial things that the movie got wrong. Fans and experts alike have watched the blockbuster enough to nitpick some inaccuracies, plot holes, and left-out information.

Separated Classes

Although this wouldn't make for a very good romance, in reality Jack and Rose would never have met, since she was in first class. This separation was meant to curb the spread of diseases from lower class passengers.

No Lipstick

Speaking of Rose's privileged background, her proper upbringing meant that she likely wouldn't have worn makeup, and definitely wouldn't have donned that signature red lipstick. At the time this look was associated with lower-class female protesters, not prim English ladies.

Real-Life Inspiration

While Rose's makeup was slightly off, she was based on a real person (albeit one not at all associated with the Titanic). Jack didn't exist at all in real life, and there's no records of anyone with his name on board the ship.

Door Theory

Regardless of his existence or lack thereof, fans are obsessed with one Jack-related theory that claims he could have survived had Rose only moved over to give him some room on the door. Unfortunately, the added weight would have sunk them both.
