The Titanic true story adaptation made for one of the most impressive cinematic achievements that viewers constantly revisit. Just how much is based on a true story though? James Cameron became a widely known and respected name in the film industry thanks to The Terminator franchise, but he drew a lot more attention in 1997 with Titanic, a romance-disaster movie based on the accounts of the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. It was his most ambitious project up to that point. Titanic told the story of Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) and Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), two passengers from different social classes who fell in love.
