The film is notable for taking the ComingOfAgeStory to its logical extreme--rather than use [[TimeShiftedActor Time-Shifted Actors]], the film was shot over the course of twelve years, so [[CharacterAgedWithTheActor we get to see Mason (and the rest of the world) grow up before our eyes]].

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: True to life. Not only do 12 years pass by, but the family moves around Texas multiple times, so with each time skip there are new characters introduced, many of which are only in that year, with just a few non-family characters appearing in multiple time skips.
