    Absolutely. Also I just noticed how his face turns from protraying smugness to shame at 0:30 when he realizes how long he's been standing there. He's just a bully, but he thinks he's better than that, so he "snaps out of it" when he feels the camera on him and it forces him to reflect on what exactly he's still standing there for. Incredible acting. Adds depth to the character that likely wasn't in the script. I think it's more obvious when you play it from about 0:22, to get a feel of how long he stands there. It's just a moment too long, and if a camera wasn't there, as has been the case his whole life, he would have exited guilt free and without even understanding his own behaviour, because thats how he's behaved all his life. But when he sees the camera, he's smart enough to realize what a pathetic bully he is being. Like he's been walked in on masturbating.
