Do historical inaccuracies in movies really bother you?

Question

I'm trying to watch "Harriet the Spy" with my daughter, which I think is supposed to be set in the 60s, but there are so many historical accuracies in the movie it's driving me nuts. For example, some 1960s car has a car alarm with the modern squeaks and beeps. The kids are on roller blades. The hair cuts are all off.

Do such inaccuracies ruin a movie for you?

Answer 1

Yes, too many historical inaccuracies would really bother me, to the point that it might even ruin the whole movie for me. If there aren't too many or if you can tell they're supposed to be there, and the movie is really good, it won't bother me and I'll still enjoy the movie.
