Continuity mistake: In the scene where the mother introduces Mason to her college professor, the class ends at 1:35 according to the clock on the wall. In the span of a few seconds as Mason and her mother walk to the front of the classroom the clock shows 1:55.
Suggested correction: The class was not over yet. After the clock showed 1:35 PM, the lecture continued about Pavlov's dogs, (un) conditional response, salivation, and the professor asking the class for another example, etc. The class emptying the room would also take a few minutes. Film time might not have been 20 minutes, but the clock showing 1:55 PM indicated that the class was over at this point. Liv and Mason then went to the front of the room.
I saw 1:38 PM, then class might have been over. It would not take 17 minutes for the classroom to empty (maybe 5 minutes or so). Change your wording to reflect this, and your mistake will be valid.
Trivia: After posting Obama signs in yards, Mason Sr got into his car and told Mason and Samantha, "Look, I'm a patriot, all right?" He drives away but the camera stays fixed on the now-visible Jeep parked on the opposite side of the street. This appears to be showing another kind of "Patriot" [Jeep Patriot], but it is actually a Liberty. (01:02:59)
