Ruth in the movie is a young girl, but in the real Titanic, Candy, the prototype of Ruth, is 53 years old, divorced and has two children. Although she is much older, she has more suitors than Ruth, and six people have admiration for her. However, his favorite is Hugh Woolf, a 45-year-old British art dealer.

In Katie's memoirs, when the Titanic hit an iceberg, Hugh Woolf was the first person to reach her. "He put his arm around my shoulder and gave me an unexpected sense of security." At this time, the two packed their bags and rushed into the crowd. They met Kent, who also likes candy. Because Candy had too much luggage, she asked Kent to take care of her mother's portrait and a bottle of brandy. After Kent was killed, he still had these two items in his pocket.

However, Candy and Hugh Woolen were lucky enough to survive, but the subsequent story was not romantic at all. Katie wrote her love story on Titanic. Every time she walks into the restaurant, someone points at her and whispers to her. She tried to find Hugh Woolen, but Hugh Woolen refused to show up, as if avoiding her. Later, Candy devoted herself to travel writing and settled in Beijing for two years, becoming a "Beijing expert". 1949, Candy died at the age of 90.

Art comes from life and is higher than life. Maybe Jack and Ruth are just a couple they met on the boat, but the movie needs a story to tell this disaster that should not have happened in the Atlantic Ocean.
