The clock....
Ok i havent been on in a while so sry if there is alreadi a topic on this but.....i was wonderin if the was any signficence in the time on the clock when Will and Beccect are ttalkin at the beggining of the movie bc it seems like disney put it in vry clear view and sorta directd u toward it...
I noticed that, too when I first saw it. It seemed strange to me. They were putting it up right when Beckett says that Jack has to find his place in the New World or something, right?
I'm not sure if it showed a specific time, but it could mean that the choice Will makes to go after Jack will change his future, in reference to time. Like, what you do this very minute will influence the rest of your life. If Will never went back out after Jack, things would have been very different for him, Jack, and Liz. So maybe that's it.
It meant that time was running out for Jack, like you said Willoft. Jack has to find a place in the new world or perish. There are numerous hints in the movie that his time (life) is on the verge of ending. Like the scene when Jack is in his cabin and he is messing around with the maps and the charts theres a sand clock on the table. And when he goes down to get the rum, the part where he finds Bootstrap. Remember when Jack picks up the bottle of rum and the sand comes pouring down of the bottle then he drops it in the floor.
