Corrected entry: When Sister Aloysious returns from speaking with Mrs. Miller and Father Flynn enters her office behind her, the Sister moves to the window to close it against the rain and wind and she reaches to lower the shade as well. We hear the sound of the shade lowering, but the shade does not move at all.
Doubt (2008)
1 corrected entry
Starring: Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Viola Davis
Factual error: At the beginning of the movie, there is a scene showing a car driving through an intersection containing curb cuts (street-level curb corners) and painted crosswalks. The movie is supposed to be set in 1964. Curb cuts were first introduced in 1970 and not widely used until after the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Painted crosswalks were not used much until the late 1990s.
Father Brendan Flynn: I can fight you.
Sister Aloysius Beauvier: You will lose.
Trivia: Viola Davis was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Mrs. Miller, even though she's only in the film for 8 minutes.

Correction: The sound is of Sister Aloysious pulling the cord to change the direction of the slats, not to lower the shade.
