Continuity mistake: Lisa is in the pool and kisses Chris who just had a chat with the creepy Abel Turner. She has her hands on the edge of the pool when the kiss begins, but at the cut her hands are underwater and Chris' fingers reach around the edge. (00:18:40)

Question: (Spoiler warning) I didn't really understand why the wildfire was put into the story. I know that fires happen in California often and that the scene at the end of the movie looks creepy with all of the smoke and fires in the background, but was there supposed to be any other special meaning or symbolism?

Answer: As far as symbolism, from a film student's perspective (mine), it's like destruction or division, two common themes in the film. The two characters are split in values and the fire is raging between them. As the fire gets closer to the houses, it increases in intensity, as does the fighting between neighbors. I think in this film, fire was used not only as a plot device, but a metaphor for the story as well.
