The Last Thing He Wanted (2020)
Directed by: Dee Rees
Starring: Ben Affleck, Willem Dafoe, Anne Hathaway, Rosie Perez
Factual error: After the intro, Elena McMahon is at a press conference addressing the mining of ports in Nicaragua. It is set in the spring of 1984, as the captions and Rosie Perez say, and yet Anne Hathaway delivers the sick burn on the Secretary of State George Shultz using the infamous "I am a Contra too" pseudo-quote by Reagan who originated in a speech (not 'on TV' as she states) delivered in March 1986.
Elena McMahon: In a perfect world we make perfect choices. In the real world we make real choices.
