10 Obscure Background Movie Clues That Explain Everything
2. It Was About Buoyancy, Not Space - Titanic
Titanic is one of the biggest movies ever made, making more money than almost every other picture ever released, and having an impact on pop culture like few others. It also boasts one of the most infamous perceived plot holes of all time. Namely, Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) totally could have fit on the floating door next to Rose (Kate Winslet) and saved himself.
However, those who point out such a supposed flaw must have missed an important moment in the build-up that proves the size of the door isn't the issue Jack and Rose are facing, but rather their buoyancy on it together.
With Rose already on, what many seem to miss is that Jack tried to climb on too, but the door started to flip in the water, and would have knocked Rose off if he had followed through with the idea. He valiantly told her to stay on, while he stayed in the freezing water to save her.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter how much space there is if it can't carry the weight of two people. If he had climbed on, they both would have fallen straight off, so he decided to make the ultimate sacrifice.
