The mysterious smiling kid
A single extra can often wreck an entire scene. It happened in far too many movies to list, including Titanic. Third-class passengers attempt to flee to the upper deck as the ship sinks and the decks fill with water. They are confronted, however, with locked gates as the crew attempts to keep them down. Everyone is terrified, except for one child who is… smiling? Even if he wasn’t aware of what was going on, the sight of all these adults yelling and crying would be enough to make any child upset.

That Freud reference
Rose is chatting to the Titanic’s managing director, Bruce Ismay, at one point in the film when she brilliantly delivers an insult to his manhood. She suggests that he read Freud’s work on the male concern with size, implying that building such a massive ship is plainly meant to compensate for one’s unattractive size. This is quite nasty (but amusing), but the timing is incorrect. Sigmund Freud didn’t publish these concepts in “The Pleasure Principle” until 1920. Was she buddies with Sigmund Freud or something?
