Modern filmmakers (with some notable exceptions) aren't particularly concerned with rendering accurate detail of the past. There's some film out now, for example, (Someone and Alexandria?), that has a time traveler who goes back to 1880. He corrects an operagoer about Puccini's opera, La Boheme--a little touch of atmosphere that would be more effective if only Puccini didn't compose the work sixteen years later.
