Look, Titanic is a great movie - we’re not knocking that by any means - and James Cameron reportedly went through painstaking lengths to try to get the movie’s details historically correct, but in the grand scheme of things, not much is actually known about that fateful night in 1912 since a large number of the passengers and crew tragically perished in the North Atlantic. First off, Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) weren’t even real people in the first place; rather, they were characters developed by Cameron to give the audience an emotional connection to a historical event. And remember the scene near the end where the orchestra plays a somber song while the ship sinks to its watery tomb? Well, that is partially accurate. The scene was largely copied from the 1958 film A Night to Remember, but the band really did play a song while chaos was happening all around them. However, according to one of the Titanic’s survivors, it was actually ragtime music, which Cameron felt wasn’t heartfelt enough.
