Overview
This was a really good period piece. This is how period pieces should be done. Dreamworks does a great job.
What Was Right:
- Practically everything was right in this movie. It was excellently done. The costumes were perfect, the sets were great.
- I was especially impressed by the careful use of consumer items.
What Was Wrong:
Honestly, there wasn't much wrong with this movie, so I'm kinda nitpicking.
- The TWA aircraft shown in the movie has a 1970s version of the logo. The 60's version of the TWA aircraft is circular and is shown in the photo below.
- The movie really didn't show anything that was from any other time period besides 1960s. There weren't any left-over 40s or 50s items or consumer goods. That made for a really great, stylistic movie, but it wasn't completely historically accurate. Not everything can be from just that era if you want to elicit a sense of historical time and place.
