Continuity mistake: In the scene where Joaquin Phoenix's character is walking between a heavily wood-paneled wall and a window and banging on them: The first time he bangs on the paneling, one of the panels appears to split and swivel up showing white underneath. The camera briefly changes angles. When the camera returns to Joaquin Phoenix, the split panel is fixed.
Continuity mistake: In the scene in the desert when they dig up a wooden box with the Master's writings in it, the box is seen as being in the shade, then the sun, then back in the shade when viewed from different angles.
