A couple of times we see Fortinbras tearing down a map of Denmark, showing a map of Scandinavia behind it. The borders on this map shows parts of today's southern Sweden as Danish. While this was true in the early 17th century when the play was written, the movie is set in the 19th century when today's borders had already been established. [The play is not a historical documentary. None of the characters are real, with many names being unlikely in a Danish setting. All of the events portrayed are entirely fictional. In a nutshell, this does not take place in the real world, nor is there even the slightest pretence that it is intended to be. As such, it is under no obligation to be factually accurate in any way.]
