Extremely Short Timespan: Except for the epilogue, the film shows a single afternoon, evening, and night.

Distant Finale: The last scene takes place an indefinite time later, but evidently a while, as a reporter and a cameraman show up to interview Mose Wright about his nephew's death.

comment
Artistic License – History: Mostly very faithful to the historical events, but the film shows Emmett being dragged out of his uncle's cabin on the same night as the wolf-whistling incident. In fact it happened a week later after Roy Bryant, who had been out of town, returned.

Face Framed in Shadow: Mose Wright's face is half in shadow, lit only by the headlights from the truck out front, as he begs the killers to take him instead.
