Jack sacrifices his life for his beloved Rose, leading the film fans to label Rose as 'selfish' and Jack as 'stupid'.
The wooden door that saved ‘Rose’ from sinking in the movie ‘Titanic’, has been sold for $718750 in auction.
According to the report of the British broadcaster BBC, the movie was based on the story of the ship that sank in 1912.
Since the release of the movie ‘Titanic’ released in 1997, there has been a debate among the fans that the wooden door in the movie that saved actress Kate Winslet (who played the roleof Rose) from drowning in icy water, could bear the weight of actor Leonardo DiCaprio (who played Rose’s lover Jack).
This wooden panel was actually part of the frame of the entrance to the plane’s first class lounge, which is about 8 feet long and 41 feet wide.
As the Titanic sinks, the hero and heroine of the film make several attempts to climb onto this wooden plank to save their lives, but soon realize that this wooden plank can save only one person from drowning.
So Jack sacrifices his life for his beloved Rose, leading the film fans to label Rose as ‘selfish’ and Jack as ‘stupid’.
In 2022, the director of the film, James Cameron, explained that to end this discussion of the fans. He said that ‘We have tried to observe by doing a scientific experiment as if two people could really come on this board at the same time, but the result it turned out that there was room for only one person on it’.
Recently the costumes and props used in famous Bollywood films of the past have been auctioned. During this auction, the said wooden board was also offered for auction and was sold for $718750.
The dress which was put on by actress Kate Winslet was auctioned for $125,000. Other items offered at the auction included a whip from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and a Spider-Man suit worn by Tobey Maguire, which sold for $525,000 and $125,000, respectively.
