Oopsenheimer.
In this shot from the movie, American flags boast a whopping 50 stars in their blue field at a time when they should have had two fewer.
This as Republicans, for all their bluster about purported respect for the symbol (including their performative outrage at a television network's refusal to air the video for a song that threatens violence in response to stomping on and burning said symbol), have focused their bitchfit on Barbie for being "woke."

Just normal film/TV props and wardrobe gaffes. Occasionally in medieval period pieces you will find extras wearing actual mail hauberks (because they bought it with their own money typically) in the background, while the paid actors will be wearing "knitted mail" provided by the wardrobe department under their plate harness.
The right hand usually doesn't know what the left hand is doing. In this case the props department probably had a huge stockpile of little modern US flags and decided to use them here, rather than go to the effort of sourcing (bought or made themselves) 1940s US flags. The director and script supervisor let it slide for whatever reason. Time is money in the film industry, so my guess is they didn't want to delay the shooting of this scene any longer just to to obtain the period-correct flags.

Is it in Braveheart that a catering van appears in the background of a shot?
Edit: Derp. Posted prematurely.
Of course. But it's fun to mock conservative bitchfits.

Yes I think so. The script supervisor is there to prevent goofs like that from happening for the sake of the editor's sanity.
Braveheart is also full of historical inaccuracies: The warpaint, the kilts, and William Wallace's sword, to name a few. Modern audiences tend to demand better historical accuracy from period piece dramas, since the historical information is so accessible now, so I understand how some may take issue with a similar looking but nonetheless inaccurate flag being shown. But as I said before, this is just a little mistake that they probably let slide while filming.
I can see that you're having fun.

Oppenheimer falls under Critical "Race" (?) Theory, i.e. uncomfortable history I don't like.
Oh wait, Oppenheimer was white... but also Jewish??
He bombed the Japanese... but was also a Communist??
He was shunned by the government... but Kennedy rehabilitated him?
Take the easy target; a film for which they're not the target demographic.
Oh wait, groomers and kiddie fiddlers will love talking about Barbie.
