Even some of the cinematography supports this character-centric notion; notice that in several instances, shots are established with close ups of a character, then slowly pans out to a long shot of the scene’s setting. However, many enigmas are granted the opportunity for serial development, such as Sam’s unresolved conflict with his bully Alan, Lindsay’s conflict with Kim, and possible romantic subplots.
