* ''Film/{{Shortbus}}'' has the New York City blackout of 2003 as a backdrop for the last third of the movie, and it also references 9/11, the current [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror War On Terror]], and in general captures the mood of this decade.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Every version of ''Franchise/DeathNote'' (live-action works included) is set in whatever time it first debuts (i.e. the manga begins in late 2003, anime begins in 2006, etc.) which likely helps to put emphasis on the ''realism'' in its use of MagicRealism. [[spoiler:That said, the anime and manga also employ a TimeSkip which later serve to subvert this trope and play the BadFuture {{Dystopia}} trope straight]], and the [[Manga/DeathNoteSpecialChapter distant sequel]] actually takes place in 2019, a year before its 2020 release.

If things seem to be a little more advanced than you remember them being, then you've probably shifted ahead to TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture. If things seem ''really'' different from how you remember them, you could be in [[TheFuture the far future]], in an AlternateHistory (in which case [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct check if the Nazis are still around]]) or even TrappedInAnotherWorld. Adjust yourself to your surroundings accordingly. If you know the year but the technology is out-of-whack to your expectations, {{Zeerust}} is probably in effect.
