9 interesting movie details that have their own story (13 photos)
I suggest you familiarize yourself with some hidden, unnoticeable, but extremely entertaining minor details from famous films that expand the worlds shown, making them richer and more complete. It seems like a small thing, but it’s nice to know.
Watching a movie is, of course, good, but reading about what you didn’t notice in it is generally great, right?

Film: “Children of Men” (2006).
Let us remember that the film shows a dystopian world in which the conception of human children has become impossible and civilization is heading towards its logical extinction. Due to the absence of children, pets become much more important to people. Judging by the advertising posters, in the world of the film there are successful companies that sell premium clothing for cats and create seasonal collections of clothing for dogs.
The USSR still exists
Columbia Pictures
Film: Blade Runner 2049 (2017).
The neon sign reads “products from the USSR.” It is unlikely that mass sales of items from the Soviet Union, which collapsed in 1991, will be possible by 2049. This means that there was no disintegration in the film’s universe.
People gave up loud food
Paramount Pictures
Film: “A Quiet Place” (2018).
It's the apocalypse, and half the store shelves are filled with goods? The thing is that the shelves shown display “loud” food, that is, chips and other crunchy foods. In a world where people began to be attacked by monsters that react to the slightest sound, such food had to be abandoned first.
The bags are also rustling!

Focus Features
Raritetus
Cartoon: “Coraline in the Land of Nightmares” (2009).
Mr. Bobo wears a real-life medal “Participant in the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident.”
Bond villains were behind the theft of paintings that were stolen in the real world
United Artists
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Films: Dr. No (1962) and 007: Skyfall (2012).
In Dr. No we see Francisco Goya's Portrait of the Duke of Wellington, which was kidnapped in reality in 1961. In 1965, the painting was voluntarily returned by British pensioner Kempton Bunton, who had stolen it. But we know that it was actually Dr. No!
But in “Skyfall” the painting “Woman with a Fan” by Amedeo Modigliani appears, which in reality has not been found to this day.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg wanted to be in the X-Men
20th Century Fox
Movie: Deadpool 2 (2018).
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a famous lawyer and US Supreme Court Justice from 1993 to 2020. Her life and career are perfectly depicted in the film On the Basis of Sex (2018). An important part of her biography is her attempts to get into places where women were not particularly allowed during her youth - be it law school or the same Supreme Court - but at the same time Mrs. Ginsburg almost always got her way. So why not try to get on Deadpool's team?
Australia will abandon its colonial ties to Britain by 2047
Paramount Pictures
Federal Register of Legislation
Film: "Through the Horizon" (1997).
The Australian flag on Dr William Weir's uniform looks unusual. The fact is that the British Union Jack in the left corner has been replaced by the Australian Aboriginal flag, which symbolizes the country’s refusalstatus of a constitutional monarchy. Will the film's prophecy come true?
Lieutenant Aldo Raine survived lynching
Universal Pictures
Film: Inglourious Basterds (2009).
Many have noticed the scar on Brad Pitt's character's neck, but the film makes no mention of its origin. But something is said about this in the original script by Quentin Tarantino:
Lieutenant Aldo has one defining physical feature: a burn on his neck caused by rope. It was as if he had survived a lynching a long time ago. The scar will never be mentioned.
The enemy does not belong to any state. That's why his base is literally in the middle of the ocean
Paramount Pictures
Film: “Top Gun: Maverick” (2022).
The creators of the film starring Tom Cruise did everything possible to ensure that no country in the world could identify itself as the mysterious enemy of the Top Ghana military pilot team. This diplomatic-commercial backup went so far that the enemy military base shown on the map in the film was located in the ocean - at the so-called Point Nemo, which is more than thousands of kilometers from land in any direction.
