What I took away from the movie is that in the depths of his clearly extensive research, James Cameron decided that out of 885 crew members and 1,317 passengers, not one of them had a story worth basing a movie around, so he had to make up multiple new ones (not just Jack and Rose, Rose’s fiance, Rose’s mother and Jack’s Italian friend were all fictional).
Good thing none of them were alive anymore except maybe a baby or two or they would have probably gotten offended.
And it makes me think his research was mostly the sort that certain WWII buffs do- learn every single detail about the tanks and the guns and the uniforms but not the name of anyone ranked below general.
