Titanic's Lost Ending Resurfaces, Sparking Fan Debate

A recently circulated video has brought to light an alternate ending to James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster, "Titanic," reigniting discussions among film enthusiasts. The clip, shared by the media outlet culturageek.com.ar, showcases a significantly different conclusion to the saga of Rose DeWitt Bukater and the legendary "Heart of the Ocean" necklace. In this rarely seen version, the elderly Rose (Gloria Stuart) is not alone when she decides to part with the infamous diamond. Instead, she is confronted on the deck of Brock Lovett's research vessel by Lovett himself and his team. A tense exchange ensues as Lovett, who has spent years searching for the jewel, pleads with Rose to hand it over. Rose, however, delivers a poignant message, stating, "You look for treasure in the wrong place, Mr. Lovett. Only life is priceless." She then dramatically drops the necklace into the ocean, much to the astonishment and frustration of the treasure hunters. The alternate ending provides a more confrontational and overtly symbolic conclusion compared to the theatrical release, where Rose silently drops the necklace. Fans are now weighing in on which ending they prefer, with many expressing surprise at the existence of such a divergent scene. James Cameron reportedly filmed this alternative but ultimately opted for the more subtle and personal ending that millions have come to know.
