Boyhood

Character mistake: When asked if he had a job, Mason Sr proudly responded he just happened to have passed his second actuarial exam and that's what Mason could tell his mother. Mason Sr didn't seem to realise the first two actuarial exams are the easiest to pass, many aspiring actuaries have completed the first two exams by the time they earn Bachelor degrees, and will study for years for the remaining exams while employed full time. He wasn't anywhere near being an actuarialist and wasn't employed - yet bragged. (00:39:44)

Trivia: Because the movie was filmed by using the same characters over a 12-year period (2001 - 2013 or 2002-2014?), the 39 filming days had to be intermittent during the 4,380 day period. Three or four days of filming occurred each relevant year.
