Clock at the end?

At the end, when Rose meets Jack again on the
staircase and everyone standing around begins
to applaud, does anyone know what time the
clock shows? I meant to look to see if it was
set to the time of the collision (11:40), or maybe
the time of the sinking (2:20)? Does anyone
know for sure?

Thanks,

Mike

I made a point of looking at the clock. It says 2:20--the time the ship
sank. What do you think that means???

It reads 2:20, the time of the sinking.

It means that is the time the ship sank, ie the time those people died.

Actually, it wasn't because of the time of the people dying, it was because
the clock was showing the wrong time. It was to show the true englishman
spirit, despite facing death, he wished to change the clock so it showed the
correct time, that is why he looks at his watch first.

You're thinking of the wrong scene..

The ship's builder Andrews is in the Smoking Room and yes, does change the
time in there. We are talking about the clock near the stairs. The Titanic
sank, ie died at 2:20am.

It is said that the real MR. Andrews was tireless workaholic. He was
constantly touring hte ship, making notes in his notebook about
corrections and refinements that most certainly would have been made had
the ship not sunk.

Sure it was 2:20.
After all you saw that dude that gave the vest to rose in the end (forgot
his name) standing in fornt of the clock and correcting the watch to the
time of the sinking. The watch obviously stopped working before.

The clock did say 2:20, the time that the TITANIC went down. My opinion is
that when Rose passed away, she went back to TITANIC, where they had all left
eachother, to reunite. How beautiful!

A few points:

1. Thomas Andrews was changing the clock, as he had been all along on the
voyage, to account for the time difference.

2. This was in the smoking room, not at the clock on the grand staircase.

3. He was an IRISHMAN, dammit.

4. Regardless, he was changing the clock because of who he was, not where
he came from.

The clock clearly reads 2:15 the time it went under on April 15, 1912.
