Yeah, this makes me a bit suspicious that it’s actually in 1939. You’d think there would be at least some talk about the war even if the US hadn’t entered it yet.
The movie centers on 9 year olds
It’s not 1941 Pearl Harbor was too big to avoid. The author of the book it’s based on was born in 1921

Uncultured swine who doesn’t get the underlying thesis of the film.
As for the subject.
A Christmas story is by far the most overrated movie of all time

It’s not the worst but it’s not near my top 10.

Again not everyone lived in the dust bowl and while unemployment was high it was not 99%. So lots of people lived “ normal” lives in 1939/40. The overall look does like late 30s early 40s.

What does that feel like in Hammond, Indiana in 1939/1940 from the perspective of a 9 year old?

The Wizard of Oz characters in the store is clearly an homage to 1939. Don’t see how someone wouldn’t pick up on that.

It definitely has a Wonder Years vibe.

Why post this? Are you that freaking stupid?

Agreed. And maybe that's a blind spot for me (born 1977) as those tv shows tended to blend all the same imagery to telegraph a general "life is great in the good ol USofA" vibe.

The Little Orphan Annie radio show (sponsored by Ovaltine) also dates the show to the 30s.
There actually was an Annie decoder ring, but contrary to the movie, the secret messages always related to the episodes and were not advertisements for Ovaltine.
