For many it will be one of your favorite films, an unforgettable story, one of those that leave their mark. I’m talking about Titanics. One of the productions that has gone down in history for being at the time the most expensive movie in history and the highest-grossing film in history for 10 years until it was precisely ‘Avatar’, also directed by James Cameron.
The unforgettable film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in 1997 occupies a very special place in lovers of romantic stories, and surely many of you have seen it more than once, twice and three times. And surely despite seeing it on several occasions, you have not noticed a detail hidden at the end of the film that many of us have overlooked.
The visual effects, montage, photography, sets or the wonderful soundtrack, and of course the love story combined with the real story of the sinking, caused a public and critical sensation to the point of sweeping the Oscars that year.
But let’s go to the detail that concerns us. After so many years watching Titanics, including its big screen revival, there is a piece that makes clear the precision with which Cameron works and of course, the way he tells the story.
If we go back to the last scene of the film, after Rose has thrown the “Heart of the Ocean” necklace into the sea and falls asleep peacefully, the film closes with a scene in which Rose returns to the ship and meets up with some familiar faces, including her beloved Jack, who holds out his hand. In this same scene is where she is in the background a clock.
The clock that is right behind DiCaprio’s character: marks 2:20 in the morningthe exact time at which the ship finished sinking in the sea after hitting the iceberg.
James Cameron returns to the big screen with the remastered version of ‘Avatar’ on September 30 and its sequel ‘Avatar: The sense of water’ will hit the cinema on December 16.
