Jack Dawson was a third-class passenger and a penniless artist, whom was very talented. He won his tickets in a game of poker, and he boarded the ship with his best friend Fabirizio De Rossi. When realizing his good fortune he proclaimed: I'm the king of the world! It's hard to forget the director on the stage of the Shrine Auditorium in LA, exultant, pumping a golden Oscar statuette into the air and shouting: 'I'm the king of the world!' As everyone knew, that was the most famous line in Titanic, exclaimed by Leonardo DiCaprio's character as he leaned into the wind on the prow of the doomed vessel. Cameron's incantation of the line was a giant 'eff off', in front of a television audience approaching a billion, to all the naysayers, especially those sitting right in front of him. — Christopher Goodwin of The Times on Cameron's response to Titanic's criticism when accepting the Academy Award for Best Picture.
