25 years have passed since the premiere of “titanic” and still mysteries around him continue to come to light. Although this time what has surprised is knowing the cameos made by its director James Cameron, which have gone unnoticed due to his curious characterization.
“Titanic” is one of the most famous movies in history, with 11 Oscars won, and it never goes out of style. Now, on the occasion of its 25th anniversary, it is presented in movie theaters in a remastered and 3D version.
However, this time you should be attentive to the details of the cameos of the Canadian director, who was best known for providing his voice in certain scenes of his films such as “Alien”, “Avatar” and “Terminator”. Even in the same film, “Titanic” is the one who shouts Iceberg!, which triggers the tragedy, which ends up sinking the ocean liner and also ends the love story between Jack and Rose.
WHAT ARE JAMES CAMERON’S CAMEOS IN “TITANIC”?
It may be that you have seen Titanic more than once and even remembered the scenes that we will tell you about below, but -it is almost certain- that you had not realized that they were cameos by director James Cameron. And it is that, unlike the appearances made by the remembered American comic book writer Stan Lee in Marvel, the Canadian was almost unrecognizable.
The filmmaker appears randomly in several sequences, characterized by a brown wig and beard, unlike his blond and slightly graying color that he already wore at that time.
One of the scenes takes place at the third-class dance, where Rose later goes with Jack. There appear very humble people with limited resources, something that does not prevent them from spending a wonderful night.
At the beginning of the film, in addition, Cameron’s character is seen passing the health control to all those who stay in third class.
In another scene, he appears with an excited Jack looking for his cabin to stay on the Titanic.
Cameron has numerous appearances on the tape and, above all, in quite key scenes such as the escape from the boat or the famous Jack and Rose dance sequence.
