Now OverSixty has taken a close look at the 1997 film Titanic starring Hollywood stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
Titanic, a romance and adventure movie, focuses on the sinking of the RMS Titanic, as told by Rose DeWitt Bukater.
The film begins with men trying to locate a stunning blue diamond, known as the Heart of the Ocean, that sank with the Titanic.
The crew uncovered a safe and inside found random papers and a nude drawing of a woman, Rose, wearing the necklace.
Their discovery was aired on TV which prompted Rose to contact the crew and reveal she is in fact still alive and she is the woman in the drawing.
From there, she is flown in and retells her story on board the Titanic.
Below are a few interesting facts about the film, just in time for you to message your friends for a rewatch.
After finding out that she had to be naked in front of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet decided to break the ice and flashed him the first time they met.
The scenes from 1912 during the film have a length of two hours and forty minutes - the exact time it took the Titanic to sink.
When the ship collided with the iceberg, it took 37 seconds before sinking, which is the same length as the scene in the movie.
The scene at the Grand Staircase where water crashed into the room had to be done in one shot because all the furniture was going to be destroyed making it impossible for a second shot.
Jack drawing Rose naked is an iconic scene. But did you know Leonardo DiCaprio did not actually sketch it?
It was in fact director James Cameron’s hands used and a mirror had to be used to show it as if he were right-handed like Jack.
Dedicated to their roles, both Kate and Leonardo learned the polka dance for the crazy party in third class.
