Corrected entry: Edward Bloom, a white baby, is shown being delivered by a black doctor in what's described as a small Alabama town in the 1940's. This would have been highly unlikely.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Edward Bloom's friend dies of an apparent heart-attack in the bathroom, he is looking at a Playboy magazine issue. Playboy magazine didn't debut until 1953, but this scene takes place in the early 1940's.
Correction: No, it doesn't. Edward is in his early sixties when he dies - he would have been a baby in the early forties. From the timeline of the film, Edward should be about 21 at this point, so it ought to be the early sixties - Playboy has been out for several years. He's fighting in Vietnam, not World War II.

Correction: All the scenes from Edward's past are taken from his stories - therefore, they should not be taken as completely accurate.
