Question about the guards... (Spoilers)
There's a point in the film where Philippe says he and his friend had been hiding for 3+ hours in the top floor under a tarp, and finally they made the decision to come out from hiding and start bringing the gear to the roof. As they do this, they spot a guard at a desk who, they say, had his eyes wide open and was staring at them. They freeze in panic, but then eventually, scuttle off quietly.
Nothing is said about this particular encounter again.
It confuses me. If the guard was awake and cognizant of their presence, why didn't he do something? And why didn't they say something about it, like, "for some reason he ignored us - maybe he was in a trance" ? They say nothing.
Weird.
I'm wondering if that part of the story had been exaggerated a little to give it more drama.
