'Would have ruined the film': Titanic's alternative ending a flop on Twitter

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet starrer Titanic's alternative ending has resurfaced on Twitter and has left fans in a spirited debate with many laughing over the scene and others wondering if the film would've won an Oscar had the makers decided to go forth with the optional ending.

In the actual ending of the movie, an older Rose throws the "heart of the ocean" necklace overboard secretly.

However, the alternative ending shows Rose imparting a word of wisdom to treasure hunter Brock Lovett before chucking the necklace in the ocean. Rose says to Lovett  "You look for treasure in the wrong places, Mr Lovett. Only life is priceless, and making each day count,"

Since being shared online, the clip has garnered over one million views, with many reactions from netizens.

"The alternate ending to Titanic is hilarious. This would have absolutely ruined the film for me," said Pat Brennan, a Twitter user.
