In most period pieces, of course, they film only when there are no planes overhead.
Sofia Coppola apparently didn't care about that. Hence the Converse shows in the closet, modern diction, modern music. Apparently the filming went on when there were planes in view, and Coppola said "No problem. Good, in fact."
I didn't spot any airplanes. What scenes do they show up in?

I never spotted any either but wouldn't be surprised, as you said Sofia Coppola enjoyed those things popping up in the background to give the film a more modern feel. I've only managed to spot the converse shoes, though the trivia says a plane can be spotted while Marie is playing outside in a meadow with her daughter. Also says some candles were swapped for bulbs in certain scenes and types of foods and silverware were used that wouldn't have been invented until decades later... hoped this helped!

I also wonder about the fireworks and the fountains. The fountain looked clearly like there was modern plumbing does. And that fireworks display looked too modern I'm not sure if they had fireworks like that back then.
I didn't catch the scene with the sneakers. So whats the point of the sneakers and the airplanes and these light bulbs if this was supposed to be historic?
The fountain was possible back then. It was pressure system underground.
"Conceptually it was easy. Of course I guess conceptually the creation of the universe wasn't all that complicated. Take the fountains of Rome, probably the most famous in the world. In ancient times someone realized there were lots of water sources outside Rome that were at a higher elevation than the city itself. Ergo, if one could convey the water from the sources to the town, one would have water pressure (and if desired, fountains) galore. One then had the mere technical detail of building ten miles of more or less watertight aqueduct with a constant slope of 1 in 320 using the resources available in 312 BC. Plus ten more aqueducts in later years, the longest extending 56 miles, bringing in a total of 38 million gallons of water per day. Plus an elaborate municipal plumbing system in which the runoff from one fountain fed others downhill from it and ultimately wound up in the sewers. Result: 1,200 fountains (and 800 baths) that couldn't be shut off. (Engineers to Roman senate: Get it to stop? We had enough trouble getting it to start! It's only 312 BC! You want freaking miracles, wait till the birth of Christ!) Your poet says, ah, the fountains, the gushing water, they are so beautiful! To which your plumber says, yeah, bub, it was either that or burst the pipes."

Yes, I make spelling mistakes often as a result of using IMDB on mobile devices :)
Not to mention rock music at the masked ball in Paris, with an appropriate fast minuette!!!!
Someone needs to tell her that electric guitars were still a bit in the future..looked like a halloween nightclub.
Just did not feel right.
I think that there weren't any airplanes - rather there were some contrails in the sky. Anyway, I vaguely recall being told that. I don't watch movies looking for contrails, personally.
