Let’s revisit this 25-year-old classic.

Despite losing its place on the list of highest grossing movies of all time more than a decade ago, James Cameron’s 1997 epic romance disaster film remains one of the most important theatrical releases of all time. This is proven by the multiple re-releases that have been given to the Academy Award winner over the years, with the most recent having just debuted in honor of its 25th anniversary.

With the brief theatrical engagement, there are probably a lot of people who are planning to watch the timeless love story of Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) and Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) on the doomed “unsinkable” ship for the first time in more than two decades or for the first time altogether, as shocking as that may sound.

That being said, we have put together a breakdown of the Titanic ending that answers some of the lingering questions about the movie and the fateful voyage on which it was based. Take her to steam, Mr. Murdoch…

What Happens To Jack At The End Of Titanic
Though he thinks winning a poker game would be his ticket to a new life, Jack Dawson’s lucky hand is nothing more than a quick trip to an early grave. After securing a ticket for the maiden voyage of the “unsinkable” ship in James Cameron’s Titanic, the artist and third-class passenger has a chance encounter with Rose DeWitt Bukater, which ultimately leads to the two young passengers falling madly in love, taking part in activities like dancing in a third-class dance hall, drawing perhaps the most iconic portrait in movie history, and seemingly distracting the night watch from seeing the deadly iceberg until it’s too late.

The epic love affair is short-lived, however, as only days after first meeting on the stern of the ship, the unlikely pair are torn apart by fate in the sinking of the Titanic. Though both survive the actual sinking of the ship, Jack freezes to death in the icy waters of the North Atlantic while awaiting rescue, leaving Rose floating alone on a door from the wreckage.
