ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -The short answer is no – Jack and Rose were not real people on board the Titanic, but fictional characters created especially for the film by James Cameron.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like all films “based on a true story, ” the movie added its own fictional elements to historical events. But during the film, Jack and Rose do run into several characters based on real people-some of whom have far more interesting stories than the film addresses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Titanic doesn’t do anything super funky or exciting in terms of narrative. The film tells the story of the ship’s sinking mostly via Rose’s flashbacks. There’s a “present day” storyline (in the 1990s), but the 1912 storyline takes up most of the film’s airtime.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater, portrayed in the movie by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, are almost entirely fictional characters (James Cameron modeled the character of Rose after American artist Beatrice Wood, who had no connection to Titanic history). The movie’s love story is also fiction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rose and Jack, the iconic lovers of Titanic, are fictional and were written by Cameron.
