Fans are just discovering Titanic’s 'beyond parody' alternative ending

The jury's out on if the film would have been so successful if it ended like this

Every now and again, a film comes out which goes on to become a life-long classic. You know, those legendary movies people will always love that we just can’t imagine playing out any other way.

Plenty of films just wouldn’t be the same without their shocking plot twist or a heartbreaking death or a romantic reunion.

Like, Titanic wouldn’t really be Titanic if we didn’t get the reveal that Rose actually had the Heart of the Ocean the whole time before dropping it into the sea above the shipwreck.

But fans have been discovering the iconic 1997 film’s ‘beyond parody’ alternative ending and well, they’re pretty happy James Cameron decided to stick with the original.

Often going viral on X, this other option shows Rose approaching the edge of the ship when her granddaughter Lizzy and Brock Lovett come rushing over, worried she might jump.

Rose warns them not to come any closer, threatening to throw the necklace overboard if they do. Brock then begs her not to throw the priceless piece of jewellery in the water and she lets him hold the jewel.

Rose tells him: "You look for treasure in the wrong places, Mr Lovett. Only life is priceless and making each day count."

She then takes the necklace back and throws it overboard, while making a strange 'ohh' sound.

After seeing her discard the jewellery, Brock's partner Lewis Bodine runs over and shouts: "That really sucks, lady!"

The scene ends as Brock looks up to the sky, laughing hysterically before inviting Rose's granddaughter to dance.

After seeing people's reactions on X, there's no doubt Cameron will be pleased he went with the original ending as some fans claimed that the alternative would've 'ruined' the entire film.

"The alternate ending to Titanic is hilarious. This would have absolutely ruined the film for me," one fan wrote.

Another added: "Damn I was really hoping he was gonna grab the necklace and shove her off. I don’t even remember what the real ending was."

While a third commented: "Awful lmao."

And someone else said: "This cannot be real."

Besides the cheesy dialogue, one of the main reasons that people didn't seem to like the alternative ending is because it spells out the purpose of the movie word for word rather than subtly implying it and letting viewers work it out for themselves.

As one person aptly wrote: "Damn this should really be the [sic] example they give you in film class for 'show don't tell'."
