10 Insanely Accurate Movie Details You Never Noticed

Led by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, James Cameron's Titanic blended the actual version of events behind the eponymous vessel's sinking with one of cinema's most iconic love stories.

The 1997 Oscar magnet was widely lauded for its accuracy. Cameron's picture depicted historical accounts from the night of the tragedy, most famously the musicians who continued to play as the ship split apart and sank. Titanic features a litany of precise details but the film's most well-hidden example doesn't arrive until the closing sequences.

As Rose passes away in her sleep in the present day, she is reunited with Jack at the Titanic's Grand Staircase. The scene's emotional nature distracts from one final piece of carefully selected background detail - the staircase's ornate clock. The dial reads 2.20 - the precise moment that the real ship sank into the North Atlantic's icy depths.

This isn't the only slick time-oriented detail to be found in the iconic disaster offering. If Titanic was comprised solely of the scenes set in 1912, the movie would last for two hours and forty minutes. This just happens to be the exact amount of time that it took the actual vessel to sink.
