“I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you..to make each day count”
“… his [Ken Marschall’s] paintings almost seemed to be stills from a movie that hadn’t yet been made. And I thought to myself… I can make these paintings live. It became my goal to accomplish on film what Ken had done on canvas, to will the Titanic back to life.” —James Cameron.
Titanic (film) trivia: The movie was filmed on 4 indoor sound stages and 1 outdoor tank with an ocean front located in Rosarito Beach (Mexico) that could handle 17 million gallons of salt water from the Pacific ocean. Interior sets such as the dining room were built on a platform controlled by eight hydraulic actuators that raised and lowered like an elevator into tanks in order to flood the stage and be raised back up again for all necessary takes. Although the indoor tanks were at times still quite cold and the outdoor tank had to remain unheated, warm water hoses and hot tubs were provided to help the actors and extras to stay comfortable in-between takes.

↳ I saw my whole life as if I’d already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back. No one who cared…or even noticed.
“It’s been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.”

He seems to be sleeping peacefully, but he is not asleep. Rose can only stare at his still face as the thunderbolt of realization goes through her. All hope, will and spirit leave her. Rose closes her eyes. She is so weak, and there just seems to be no reason to even try. And then.. her eyes snap open.
— excerpt from the original Titanic scriptment
“Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me… it brought me to you. And I’m thankful for that, Rose. I’m thankful. You must do me this honor. Promise me you’ll survive. That you won’t give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.”
