News culture “2 to 3 times on different days” The heroine of James Cameron’s “Titanic” returns to film this iconic scene
Titanic first hit theaters in 1997 and outperformed the competition with record-breaking numbers. Even today it is still one of the must-sees in the cinema and remains anchored in the memory of those who see it. A juggernaut of the seventh art with several unforgettable scenes, some of which required multiple takes.
Outtakes depending on the time of day
As the year draws to a close, British actress Kate Winslet is back in the spotlight. It’s about talking about Lee, a film in which she plays the main role of a photographer during the Second World War and which has been broadcast in France since October 9th, which is doing the rounds on television. She was then invited to the set of the show CàVous on France 5, where she responded to journalists’ comments.. And of course the return to the film Titanic (1997) is inevitable:
🤭 “When we had to shoot the kissing scene at the front of the boat, we had to shoot it two or three times on different days depending on the sunset. That was so technical!”

It’s funny that you include that sequence because it’s the only one that makes me roll my eyes. When we filmed, we did it 2 to 3 times on different days, depending on the sunset (…) When I look, I tell myself it’s so technical!
She adds this to stage the scene where her character Rose and Jake’s (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) kiss. You had to reapply your makeup between each take. So they had their own makeup tools at hand. A disadvantage caused by the height at which the scene was filmed
Kate Winslet’s head is full of anecdotes
A scene to which we add the song as a watermark in post-production My heart will go One by Celine Dion. A title that, as we remember, nobody wanted. Such anecdotes abound on the Titanic. While promoting the film, It’s on the microphone of Josh Horowitz on his podcast Happy, Sad, Confused that it causes the abscess to burst. In one of the last scenes she explains:
Well, it was kind of like a big swimming pool, a bit embarrassing… and to burst the abscess, the water was waist high the whole time. (…) Leo was simply on his knees. Maybe I shouldn’t say that. James Cameron will scold me.
Filming secrets that James Cameron himself doesn’t hesitate to reveal. It was he who told the story behind the scene where Jake, played by DiCaprio, made a drawn portrait of Rose. But it’s actually James Cameron Who is the origin of the portrait?with the director admitting that DiCaprio can’t draw at all.
