(1) “Extended Ending”:
The original ending of the movie featured an elderly Rose (played by Gloria Stuart) dropping the Heart of the Ocean necklace into the ocean. However, there was an extended version of this scene that depicted Rose reuniting with Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) on the Titanic staircase. This scene was removed to maintain a more ambiguous ending.
(2) “Corset Scene”:
There was a scene in which Rose’s mother, Ruth (Frances Fisher), tightens Rose’s corset to an extreme extent, emphasizing the restrictive nature of Rose’s upper-class life. This scene was ultimately cut for pacing reasons.
(3) “Molly Brown’s Introduction”:
Molly Brown, played by Kathy Bates, had a longer introduction scene where she passionately argued with a group of men about women’s suffrage. The scene was removed, but Molly Brown’s character remained prominent throughout the film.
(4) “Captain Smith’s Suicide”:
A scene was filmed depicting Captain Smith (Bernard Hill) contemplating suicide after the Titanic’s sinking. The scene was cut because James Cameron felt it was unnecessary and would detract from the focus on the main characters.
(5) “Jack’s Spitting Contest”:
In an early scene, Jack engages in a spitting contest with other crew members on the ship. This light-hearted moment was removed to maintain a more serious tone.
It’s important to note that these deleted scenes have been made available in various home video releases and special editions of the movie, allowing fans to see them. Additionally, James Cameron has discussed some of these scenes in interviews, shedding light on his decision-making process.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the beloved movie “Titanic,” previously unreleased scenes have been unveiled, providing fans with a fresh perspective on the film. One particularly interesting revelation among these scenes is the inclusion of a moment where the Croatian language is heard. This inclusion was a deliberate tribute by director James Cameron and the film crew to honor the Croatian passengers who were aboard the ill-fated ship. It serves as a testament to the enduring impact of the movie, captivating audiences worldwide even a quarter-century later. The scene showcases third-class passengers, prominently featuring Italian characters Fabrizio and Helga. In the background, a female voice can be heard shouting, “Frano, donesi rakije, je*ote.” The reason behind the use of the name “Frano” remains unknown, as there was no passenger by that name on the actual ship.
