The directorial version of James Cameron's Titanic is four hours long and includes 29 scenes not included in the rental version of the film. Many of the deleted fragments add additional clarity to the plot of the film and represent a separate artistic value. In 2013, 22 deleted scenes were published on DVD.
The deleted scene, The First, sets the tone for the Hockley-Rose storyline, showing the true nature of their relationship in a few seconds. The scenes of Brock’s Dilemma and Down to the Third Grade are combined into one fragment, the longest among those that were not included in the film distribution version of the film, 6 minutes 36 seconds.
In the Brock’s Dilemma scene, Lovett tells Lizzie Calvert, Rosa’s granddaughter, why it’s so important for him to find the Heart of the Ocean necklace. The role of Lizzy was played by the future wife of director James Cameron, Susie Amis, and this scene is the most voluminous of those in which the actress participated in the filming of "Titanic".
The fragment "Down to third grade" is dedicated to the first meeting of Rosa and Jack after her attempted suicide. In "Dreams of the Rose", the main character, without knowing it, prophesies her own fate, saying that she could become a movie actress. In the story, after the death of the Titanic and escape from the family, Rosa finds her vocation precisely in the acting profession.
The deleted shooting star scene shows the last minutes of Rose and Jack’s joint evening on the eve of the shipwreck. Jack escorts Rosa after dancing in the third grade, they sing a song that will accompany them on the last day - "Come Josephine, In My Flying Machine". When they see a shooting star, Rosa recalls that she can make a wish, and Jack asks what she would like. Being very close and looking at him, Rosa answers: “What I can’t get, ” and leaves almost immediately, feeling that she has crossed the boundaries of what is permitted in her position. This moment can be considered in approximation the beginning of their romance. Unfortunately, the scene was not included in the final version of the Titanic.
The extended escape scene from Lovejoy, in addition to the dialogue between Rosa and Jack, also contains a continuation of their journey through the engine room and a kiss in the clubs of steam, which, from the plot point of view, is a significant logical link for subsequent scenes in the cargo compartment.
From the joint scenes of Kate Winslet and Leonardo di Caprio, the distribution of the Titanic also did not include “Playing with Ice”, “Farewell to Helga” and “Letter from the husband”.
Distant fragments such as Radio Room / Californian, How to Add Ice, Ismeya's Panic, Mrs. Brown's Rowing School, Sixth Boat Will Not Return, No Way, shed light on the ship’s death line. and "I will not come!", which reflects the behavior and motives of different people during the disaster.
