Factual error: Rose mentions Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's ideas on the male preoccupation with size to Bruce. However this is 1912, and Freud did not publish the work relating to this until 1920 in "Beyond The Pleasure Principle." Also, up until 1919, Freud relied solely on data from women. (00:33:40)

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Kathy Bates, Bill Paxton, Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Billy Zane, Victor Garber, Bernard Hill
Rose frees Jack from his chains with an axe. They both manage to find a boat but only Rose is allowed on, with persuasion from Jack and Cal. However, she can't leave Jack and jumps off the boat back to Titanic. Jack and Rose are then both chased by Cal shooting at them with his manservants gun. They barely escape. After a few narrow escapes from the water they get back to the top deck and find their way to the stern of the ship, where they ride the ship down. They both manage to fight the ships suction and get to the surface. Jack finds a wooden door and knows it is Rose's best chance. He stays in the water whilst she is on the door making her promise to never let go, to survive. She promises. One boat turns back out of the twenty nearby and rescues Rose as Jack has now frozen to death. Rose whispers that she will never let go as she lets him sink. The story then ends with the hunters saying there were never records of Jack. Rose then reveals to the audience that she had the diamond all along as it had been in the pocket of a coat Cal (who had shot himself in 1929, 17 years later) had put on her. She throws it overboard to the Titanic and Jack. She then dies in her bed, surrounded with pictures of her wonderful life, including riding horseback and riding on the rollercoaster, like Jack had told her. We are left with an image of her rejoining Jack and all the others who died on the deck of the Titanic.
Jack: That's one of the good things about Paris: lots of girls willing to take their clothes off.
Trivia: Gloria Stuart was the oldest person ever to receive an Oscar nomination for her role in "Titanic". At 87, she was also the only person on the set who was alive at the time of the real "Titanic" disaster.

Answer: Yes, it was. At the time, the big cruise lines were all trying to outdo each other with the largest and most opulent cruise ships. The Olympic class ships were the White Star Line's entry in the size race, with Olympic, the first built, taking the title in 1911, before losing it to her sister ship, the Titanic, the following year.
