Line 23:
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In the ''Age of X'' storyline in the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] line, a clue that something is wrong with the alternate reality the characters find themselves in is that there ''is'' nothing outside the walls of their compound, and the soldiers that attack seem to only have a few names, repeated over and over.
 
 
Line 35:
* ''[[In Bruges]]'' toys with this. The entire film takes place in Bruges (apart from two very short establishing character shots). Ray ''hates'' Bruges. When he finally manages to escape, only the inside of the train is shown, and he's led right back to Bruges again anyway.
* ''[[Dogville]]'' plays this for drama. It turns out that {{spoiler|Grace could have escaped all along -- she was just too stubborn}}.
* [[Ridley Scott]]'s ''[[Legend (film)|Legend]]'' takes place almost entirely within a magical forest and Darkness's palace. There's virtually no indication of what the world outside the forest is like.
