Corrections

After the scene where Ariel is standing between the cars, which takes place right after church in the daytime, the next scene is at night at the drive in. [The next scene occurs much later in the day; it is not shown in real time. ]

At the end when Ren and Willard are fighting the guys outside the dance, they get noticeably dirty. When Ren returns to the dance, his clothes are clean. [The prom suit may have looked clean, but I could definitely tell it had some soil on it, even without a close up.]

As Ren is dancing through the factory we see him take off his sweater and dump it on the ground. Later once he comes across Ariel back at his car we see him go and pick up his sweater from a nearby train carriage which is not near where he left it. [The dancing scene in the warehouse is a montage of the entire time he was there, thus giving him, or even Ariel, who was watching him, time to move it somewhere else.]
