Door generated controversy in Titanic

The Titanic door is part of a sequence that has been talked about since the film was released until today. Some viewers believe there was room for Jack to also lean on the piece of wood next to Rose.

In the 1997 film, after the ship sank, the couple fought for their lives in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. The door then appeared amid the wreckage of the ship and Kate Winslet’s girl climbed in, while Leonardo DiCaprio’s heartthrob froze to death because “there wasn’t room for both of them”.
