I've seen the trailer for Doubt a lot lately. Looks good, but whatever.
I keep noticing the following scene, where Meryl Streep's EVIL NUN FROM HELL shows how cruel she is by removing an instrument of fun (or something) from a student's head. To wit:
Looks at first like an iPod, right?
Then, as she pulls the whole...device out, it looks maybe less like an iPod and more like a Walkman. Just one problem. Doubt is set in 1964. The original Walkman was released in 1979.
I showed this to my parents (who were in their twenties in 1964) and asked them if I was going crazy thinking that their was nothing like this at that time. Here's a closer look:
A transistor radio perhaps? Maybe, but they weren't portable (at least, not with headphones) in the 60s.
I want answers, people. I have serious...doubt as to the accuracy and integrity of this whole cockamamie production now.
The full trailer can be seen here.
And then...
