A Time Error? Brad Pitt’s Character’s Watch Sparks Debate
Although the film is set in 1969, Brad Pitt’s character wears a watch that wasn’t released until 1972. This temporal contradiction might seem minor, but for attentive viewers, it’s a glaring detail that raises questions: How could a watch from three years later appear in a 1960s story? Is it a mistake, or does it have a deeper meaning?Such anachronisms are not rare in the film world. Props like clothing, accessories, or gadgets that don’t match the depicted time period can break the audience’s immersion. At the same time, they spark curiosity: Is the watch simply an oversight by the prop team, or could it symbolize something more profound? Maybe it represents a break in time or a glimpse into the future, intentionally placed by the director.
