The obvious thing it represents is that time is running out for Jack..he'll have to change to suit the new world or he will die
there's something else I always notice with it which I'm not sure means anything..but the pattern in the middle of the clock strikes a resemblance to the points on the middle of the compass...the scene fades to the compass as Jack looks at it when its pointing to Port Royal....it lands exactly where the hour hand was on the giant clock.
it even lands for a second where the minute hand was too...
biological clock is ticking.
jack DID run out of time. He died before leaving his piece of eight to an heir. he waited till his very last minutes to step into the person he was meant to be/ the future he actually wants.
but AWE is stepping off the edge of the map, turning back the clock so to speak, battling time as much as anything in order to fit in the things that each character needs to have happen. weddings, children, relationships, reconciliation with family members, etc.
that's what i get from all of it, anyways.
yeah..totally biological clock..that would explain EVERYTHING that was going on with Jack in DMC..it even links in with movie 1 and his goal to live on forever..but its obviously another route to that goal that he's not understanding or even contemplating which is having a kid of course.
The biggest fattest question mark raised in DMC and not answered by Ted and Terry in any way shape or form (at the moment) is:
"WHY is Jack thinking of and wanting Elizabeth when his time on earth is quite literally running out?"...my above paragraph explains it?? lol
Its simple to fit the answer in to a 1/2 hour movie pirate diva..Jack Jr right at the end lol
totally, LovelyOne. that question sums the whole film up.
At Worlds End. the main characters' world literally fell apart when Jack died. think about it. They LITERALLY have 2 options: skulk off to remain outlaws with no livelihood for the rest of their lives, or bring Jack and the Pearl back. He is the puzzle piece thats going to fit these two worlds together for all of them.
but as Jack already died for a future of his own choosing, it holds that he will attain that future. otherwise bringing him back would turn him into an object, a plot device.

So the following things need to happen in AWE?
- Pieces of 8 get straightened out
- Tia Dalma becomes Calypso
- Jack gets rescued
- Love triangle gets some kind of answer
- Keith Richards' cameo
- Liz being taken hostage by Sao Feng
- Davy defeated
- Beckett defeated
-Barbossa possibly defeated
- Calypso possibly defeated
- Sao Feng defeated
- Norrington possibly defeated
- Gov. Swann dies (maybe)
- thing with Norrington's sword gets explained
- heart gets stabbed by someone
- no more kracken, so possibly defeated
- Everyone finally takes a stand on if they're "good" or "bad."
That's a lot of crap to sort out and supply the humor, adventure, and overall spirit of the POTC series.
