» 流言终结者验证《泰坦尼克号》杰克是笨死的?
It is a debate that has raged since Titanic became one of the most successful films of all time: Did Rose leave Jack to die by not letting him up on the makeshift lifeboat as they floated in the ocean?
And now a U.S. television show has carried out a series of tests that show Leonardo DiCaprio's character could have survived the disaster had he lifted himself onto the raft from which Rose, played by Kate Winslet, was plucked.
美国电视台为此做了一系列的实验证明,如果莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥饰演的 Jack 也爬上了那块板,和凯特·温丝莱特扮演的Rose一起,那他本可以在那场灾难中活下来。
The Discovery Channel's Mythbusters recreated the treacherous conditions after the Titanic sank in 1912 and, through hypothermia tests, discovered Jack would have survived the freezing conditions if he had climbed out.
As fans of the 1997 blockbuster will remember, Jack remains in the freezing water while Rose lies on top of a floating piece of the wreckage as he does not want to topple it.
In the dramatic climax to the Oscar-winning epic, Jack dies from hypothermia while Rose is rescued. Titanic director James Cameron told Mythbusters he believed the wooden life raft would not have supported both Jack and Rose.
在这部奥斯卡获奖电影中,为了能达到戏剧性的高潮,Jack 最后冻死了,而Rose 活了下来。泰坦尼克号的导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆曾告诉《流言终结者》说,他认为木板根本不足以支撑 Jack 和Rose两个人。
But the team found that if Rose had taken off her lifejacket and put it under the raft it would have given them enough buoyancy to keep both of them afloat.
Hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman then carried out a hypothermia test to see what would happen if Di Caprio's character had indeed climbed out of the water and onto the wooden door.
主持人Adam Savage 和 Jamie Hyneman还做了一个低温测试,想看看当时如果 Jack 真的离开冰冷的海水,爬上了那块木板,到底会发生什么。
A dummy with gelatin flesh and a water-heated copper cardiovascular system that was rigged to monitor body temperature was used to simulate Di Caprio’s character.
他们用一个凝胶做成的假人模仿Jack,假人身上有可以通过水加热铜管的模拟心血管系统。
The dummy’s body temp was set at 98.6° and dressed in wet clothes. The show found that as long as he was rescued before his body temperature dropped below 82° F, he could be revived.
In the film Rose was one of the last to be rescued. Historical documents show that Fifth Officer Harold Lowe, who was depicted rescuing Rose,looked for survivors 45 minutes.
Cameron, however, had the last word telling the TV show that Jack had to die as that’s what the script called for.
卡梅隆最后只好告诉节目组,Jack 的死完全出于剧情需要。
He said: 'I think you guys are missing the point here.The script says Jack died. He has to die. So maybe we screwed up and the board should have been a little tiny bit smaller, but the dude's goin' down.'
