Even if James Cameron’s juggernaut, made in 1997 and starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, isn’t the richest film with hidden details we can find, Titanic still hides little surprises for the more discerning viewer.
The most interesting of these winks comes in the final seconds of the featurette, clocking in at 3 hours, 6 minutes and 37 seconds to be exact.
In this final sequence, Rose, now a hundred years old, closes her eyes and wanders her mind through the corridors of the vanished liner, letting in a brand new one. There he finds all the passengers who died in the sinking, as well as his beloved Jack, waiting for him in front of the great clock, where they agreed 80 years ago.
It is this hour that we are interested in here. Pick up the freeze frame at the appropriate time and look closely at the hands of the dial. As you can see, the big one points to 2 and the small one to 4.
Accordingly, it is 2 hours and 20 minutes, the exact time when the Titanic sank under the waves.
Could this little hidden detail indicate that Rose has just died of old age and that she has finally joined Jack in the afterlife where time has completely stopped?
Knowing James Cameron’s meticulousness and his attention to detail, we can in any case be sure that he himself required the clock hands to be oriented in this way, as if to leave a message of hope and future to his audience, after the trauma of the shipwreck.
