Anachronisms are extremely common in cinema, but we don't always notice them. One of my favorite movies, Forrest Gump, is teaming with them. The movie carries items and logos that were created and invented a few years before their appearance in the movie.
Now I've come to forgive this for several reasons:
1. The anachronisms have little to no say in the full plot.
2. Can we really bother Zemeckis to look up every ****ing logo?
3. Anachronisms are incredibly common in cinema.
4. The movie takes a different view on history anyway, so do the anachronisms really take that much away from the realism?
What we have here is a series of constant minor mistakes which bear no relativity or effect on the plot or make the film's realism suffer dramatically. Maybe I haven't forgiven Back to the Future for its childish manner of handling time travel yet, but the difference is that anachronisms aren't really plot elements in either movie.
So, are you willing to forgive this common but minor oversight the way I do? Do you do it all the time, or does it require specific conditions? Or are you gonna lift yr skinny fists like antennae to heaven and go "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore?"
