I remember watching The Hurt Locker (starring Jeremy Renner), the movie is meant to depict the Iraq War in 2004 but for some reason there’s a scene where an iPod Touch (releases in 2007), XBOX 360 (releases in 2005) and Gears of War (releases in 2006) present in the barracks even though these did not exist yet. Another anachronism from this movie is when a American soldier spots an Iraqi recording him ready on uploading the footage via YouTube (the website didn’t exist yet until 2005 when the story is set in 2004).
Like in The Patriot when the British officer confronting Mel Gibson tells him his slaves will be seized, but then we find out he just has a bunch of free blacks who work for him because he’s such a damn nice guy.
This despite him being a wealthy farmer in South Carolina at a time when it was essentially impossible that he wouldn’t have owned slaves.
The character was most heavily inspired by Francis Marion
