hasagaindeniedaclaimperenniallyputforthbyfans：thattherewasroomforJack（Leonardo
DiCaprio） toclimbaboardthefloatingdoorholdingRose （KateWinslet） andavoiddeath
byhypothermia （低体温） followingtheshipwreckintheNorthAtlantic.
Statingthat"itsaysonpage147[ofthescript]thatJackdies，"Cameron，63，toldVanityFair，
"Obviouslyitwasanartisticchoice， [that]thethingwasjustbigenoughtoholdher，andnotbig
enoughtoholdhim".Findingit"silly，really，thatwe'rehavingthisdiscussion20yearslater."the
filmmaker pointed out that ， "Had he lived ， the ending of the film would have been
meaningless...Sowhetheritwasthat，orwhetherasmokestackfellonhim，hewasgoingdown."
He added he believed the physics were correct as well. "I was in the water with the piece of

Winslet and fellow "Titanic" star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise，with Bates at the SAG
AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by
saying，"HeletsgoofherhandandsinksintothedepthoftheAtlantic.AndIpersonallythinkthat
there was plenty of room on there!" Winslet agreed，telling the audience lightheartedly， "He

which means you're underwater tying this thing on in28﹣degree water，and that's going to take
you five to 10 minutes，so by the time you come back up you're already dead.So that wouldn't

A new smart application means this will soon be a reality for some Australian
consumers.Melbourne﹣based start up Choovie will launch a service offering demand﹣based
ticket pricing to filmgoers at the end of March，with over 100 screens across metropolitan and
regionalvenuesinVictoria，NSWandACT.（2）
Choovie's appwillallow consumers to decide，within parameters setby thecinemas，what
price they pay to see a film.For example，if you don't want to pay more than ﹩10 to see a

The emergence of apps such as Choovie is likely to shake up the film industry by

Sohowdoesdynamicpricingwork？
（3） Thisdependsonanumberofdemandvariables，suchasmovielifecycle，time
ofday，dayoftheweek，filmtitle，venue，sizeofscreen，actualbookingsandsoon.Thenumber
of seats in each price category for every film is based on demand conditions at the time of

Itworksbyusing"pricingbots"，whichadjustpricesinrealtimeaccordingtorulessetbythe
exhibitor and on the basis of information gathered about consumer preferences.Uber's"surge
pricing"isoneexampleofdynamicpricing.Airlineticketsareanother.
The idea is that instead of offering customers a limited number of ticket categories，the
cinema sells each seat based on the individual customer 's willingness to pay.Patrons can choose
screeningsbyspecifyingthingssuchastheamounttheyarepreparedtospend（say，under ﹩10），
thelocationofthecinema （nomorethan10kmfromhome），thetimeofday （anytimeafter

It is human beings' pride that we are the only species on the Planet that can speak and

Zuberbuhler，apsychologistatSt.AndrewsUniversity，andhiscolleaguesrecordedthousands
of calls made by Diana monkeys and noticed that the monkeys adapted their calls to change the
meaningto warnoneanotheraboutdifferentsituations.For example，theymade a 'krack' alarm
call at the sight of tiger.However，when they merely repeated calls made by other monkeys they
addedan'oo'.
