In this sci-fi film with Tom cruise’s clones that are some kind of watchmen over the planet, there’s a flashback scene. Tom cruise is reminded of his human life before the cloning because he sees an American gridiron football goal.
That scene immediately broke my immersion and I was like, yeah that’s Hollywood, it’s a film by Americans. I was no longer in the story.
The same happened to me with other forms of media. There’s a song that would translate to “favourite person” and has a line “even the traffic jam on the A2 is quickly over when I’m with you”. But I never use the A2. It’s at the other end of the country. That made me stumble when I listened to it the first time.
