Q
What college does Mason choose to attend?
A
Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. It is approximately 100 miles north of Big Bend National Park.
Q
What year is it in each scene?
A
The film deliberately does not show the year of each scene- nor when time jumps occur, as the audience is left to witness the transitions of time themselves, based on changes in the appearances of the characters, as well as cultural and technological changes that have occurred. Central character Mason shows very little noticeable change in the early years of filming, whilst looking noticeably different during late childhood and adolescence. The years of the scenes can be found on the Wikipedia page of the film.
