Their Eyes Were Watching God

Factual error: There is a brief shot of a couple driving through the streets near Eatonville, Florida. In the background a mountain is visible. There are no mountains in Florida.

Factual error: When the hurricane hits Lake Okeechobee, there is a lot of lighting and thunder. Lighting occurs rarely during a hurricane. I know, I went through 3 last year in Florida.

Tea Cake: Oh, Janie, you're the kind o' woman that'll make a man forget to grow old.

Question: Why didn't Joe and Janie have any children after twenty years? I know that some couples have to try for years before getting pregnant, but twenty years seems like a long time.

Answer: One or the other may simply have been infertile. Some people simply aren't capable of having children, and no medical intervention would exist in the timeframe of the movie.
