10 Movies Ruined By Glaring Factual Inaccuracies
1. Titanic: Jack Could Only Be From The Future
James Cameron has so many strong points as a filmmaker, but if Titanic is anything to go by, crosschecking historical facts is not one of them.
You could write an entire book about the things the movie gets wrong, and many of them are related to its protagonist, Leonardo Di Caprio's Jack, from the things he says to the way he dresses.
A solid example comes during that pivotal scene where Jack convinces Rose not to kill herself by jumping overboard. He tells her a story about the time he went fishing in Lake Wissota, and it seems to resonate.
Except, unless Leo's character happens to be a time traveller from the future, it can only be a lie since Lake Wissota is man-made and was only filled with water six years after the Titanic sank.
Jack also sports a style of rucksack that would not gain popularity until the 1930s, many years after the titular ship went down, and these are just two of the factual errors which sunk Titanic and inspired countless crazy fan theories.
