Real people of the Titanic
Ali IraQ32
Obviously, Titanic is a fictional movie about two gorgeous people who fall in love, have steamy below-deck car sex, and could definitely fit on the same raft in a hypothetical drowning situation-but as everyone knows, the iconic James Cameron film is, sadly, based in fact.
The real-life RMS Titanic sunk in the Atlantic ocean on April 15, 1912, after hitting an iceberg during its maiden voyage to New York City. Over 2,000 passengers were on the ship, many of whom were depicted in the film. Molly Brown? A real person who was actually known as the Unsinkable Molly Brown. And Mr. Andrews? The real builder of the ship-just like Captain Edward John Smith was the real captain. Let's just say, James "I'm the King of the World" Cameron did his history homework, because the majority of Titanic's characters actually have real-life counterparts, many of whom sadly died on board, and some of whom lived to tell the tale of the ship's tragic sinking.
Though Jack and Rose were completely invented (meaning there is no Heart of the Ocean lurking on the sea floor, and nope, Jack didn't paint those nudes), the stories of the real people on board the Titanic are so interesting, they could easily make up their own three-hour movie.
