Moonrise Kingdom is a 2012 tween comedy-drama film by Wes Anderson.Set in a 1965 New England island town, the movie follows an innocent and quirky Puppy Love and Coming of Age story between Sam and Suzy, a pair of 12-year-old social outcasts who try to run away together.Sam is an orphan who has gone through several foster homes, and is now a member of the Khaki Scouts, but has difficulty fitting in. Suzy is living with an incredibly dysfunctional family, where the unfaithful mom's a control freak and the dad is distant, and both deem her "troubled." After a year-long correspondence, they both decide to run away, and the film follows them as they hike across their island - with the police chief, the scoutmaster, Suzy's parents, and Sam's fellow Khaki Scouts all in hot pursuit. While the bulk of the movie is carried by the two leading child actors, the movie has an All-Star Cast in the adult supporting roles with Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton.The film opened the 2012 Festival de Cannes. In a similar vein to The Darjeeling Limited, Wes Anderson also shot a four-minute short to complement the main movie, which can be seen here. | |

| Moonrise Kingdom / int_1397e10d | comment |
Rage Against the Reflection: When Sam first meets Suzy, her hand is bandaged from punching the mirror in her bathroom. When Sam asks her about it, she matter-of-factly states that she was disgusted with herself. | |

The Runaway | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_15177ded | comment |
The Runaway: Teenage elopement (well, pre-teen). Both kids leave together through islands surrounded by large bodies of water with an incoming hurricane. The parents caught up with them sleeping in their skivvies. Said kids later "marry," and while their escape/suicide attempt is foiled, they end up hanging on for dear life when the storm strikes. | |

Papa Wolf | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: Captain Sharp is outraged by the idea of Sam being sent to an institution and subjected to electroshock therapy, and at one point threatens Social Services with a nail bat (belonging to one of the Khaki scouts,) should she try and take the boy. Fittingly, he becomes Sam's new foster parent at the end of the movie. | |

Suzy uses her lefty scissors as an improvised weapon when the Scouts find her and Sam. Since Suzy has a tendency to "go berserk," the use of this further demonstrates her impulsivity. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: As mentioned under Shout-Out, Bruce Willis has some experience with tying a rope to himself to keep himself from falling off a building. This isn't the first time that Bob Balaban has played a character with a background in cartography (or interrupted a large group of people by yelling "excuse me," for that matter). A magazine featuring a picture of Commander Pierce (played by Harvey Keitel) features the quote, "Are we men, or are we mice?" This is a paraphrase of a quote said by a character also played by Keitel in Bad Lieutenant. | |

Double Meaning: When Sam asks Suzy, "what kind of bird are you?" he is asking about her costume, but he might also be asking (in the era of the British Invasion), "what kinda gal are you?" Whether or not she takes his second meaning could be a Secret Test of Character for her. | |

Electroconvulsive Therapy Is Torture | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_3f32da0f | comment |
Electroconvulsive Therapy Is Torture: Discussed. When Social Services reveals Sam will receive shock therapy, Ward and Sharp question why it's necessary. Social Services states it is because the case file attributes Suzy's stabbing incident to Sam. But even when Sharp and Ward correct her, it is grimly implied she plans to go ahead with it regardless, making it a case of unnecessary shock therapy on a minor. The Khaki Scouts finally help Sam out in order to avoid this, and Sharp decides to call out Social Services and adopt Sam for the same reason. Ironically, Sam ends up getting shocked by something much more dangerous than an ECT, but turns out fine. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: The Khaki Scouts in Sam's troop treat him like dirt because they consider him emotionally disturbed. However, once their new de facto leader (as Redford is out of commission) realizes this is a stupid reason, he inspires them to pull a collective Heel–Face Turn and help Sam run away with Suzy again. Cousin Ben mouths off to scouts and charges them for items they should be given for free, like an emergency aid kit, but he acts as minister for Sam and Suzy's "wedding," and opts to give them a ride out to sea so they can work on a crabbing boat. He even turns the boat around so Sam can get Suzy's forgotten binoculars. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When Suzy is reading a book to Sam at Mile 3.25 Tidal Inlet, the scene cuts after she says "Part 2." This is at roughly the halfway point and the following scene marks a major shift in the plot. In essence she acted as a Title Card. As a Call-Back to the "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" record heard in the opening, during the end credits suite, Sam narrates Alexandre Desplat's music (including name-dropping him at the start), priming the audience of which instruments are coming in and out. When the song and the credits are over, Sam finishes with "Thank you for listening." | |

All of the Other Reindeer: Everywhere Sam goes, he gets picked on for no particular reason. The Khaki Scouts of his troop do it because he's an orphan until they realize that this is a stupid reason (besides Head Scout Redford, who picks on him because he can). He's apparently been picked on at all of the various foster homes he's been sent to as well. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Scoutmaster Ward. "Ward" means to protect or watch over. Redford is a redhead. It could also be a Shout-Out to Robert Redford, who starred in Little Fauss And Big Halsy (wherein his character rode a motorcycle, much like Redford). Lazy-Eye, since he has a patch over one eye. Chef, who is the troop's chef. | |

Weapon-Based Characterization | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_7098892d | comment |
Weapon-Based Characterization: Nearly every Khaki Scout brings a weapon with them when they start searching for Sam, which shows them to each consider Sam to be dangerous and preparing for the worst. Redford carries a tomahawk with him. Deluca has a hunting knife. Panagle has a walking stick with a cluster of nails sticking out of it, which shows that, while he may not have a knife or a gun, he is capable of crafting his own weapons. Nickleby, Izod and Lazy-Eye each carry a bow and a quiver filled with arrows. Sam carries an air-rifle with him at all times, indicating his outdoorsman hunting experience. Suzy uses her lefty scissors as an improvised weapon when the Scouts find her and Sam. Since Suzy has a tendency to "go berserk," the use of this further demonstrates her impulsivity. | |

Tuckerization | |

Tuckerization: Three locations on the island (Yeoman Lane, Roman's Ruins and Fort Stockhausen) are named after people involved in the production of the movie. Yeoman for Robert D. Yeoman (the cinematographer), Roman for Roman Coppola (the co-writer) and Stockhausen for Adam Stockhausen (the production designer). Adding on to this, "Cape Cooper" is likely named after Cooper Murray, son of Bill Murray who plays the Indian Chief Khaki Scout. Also, two locations which can be seen side by side on the map of Saint Jack Wood Island in the Criterion release are "Hayward" and "Gilman". | |

Rule of Funny | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_a60e3252 | comment |
Rule of Funny: Sam escapes by cutting a hole in his tent and covering it with a map on the inside. This is a send-up of classic prison-break films. In this case, of course, the hole would be easily spotted outside of the tent. The map would hide the hole only from Sam himself. This might be justified by the Scoutmaster simply being that oblivious. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: An obvious reference to The Shawshank Redemption when Sam escapes his tent at the start of the film (using an incredibly thin paper material to cover up a hole in a wall), and a more subtle visual allusion to A New Hope during the climax, when Sam and Suzy sidle around the church tower. Also, remember that other movie where Bruce Willis had to tie a rope to himself to keep from falling from a great height? The author for the sci-fi book "The Girl From Jupiter" (one of the many books which Suzy carries) is "Isaac Clarke," a combination of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.note Probably not a reference to the protagonist of Dead Space. Another author is named "Virginia Tipton." The Khaki Scout camp is called Camp Ivanhoe. Though his surname is never actually said in the movie, Cousin Ben's uniform has the name, "Mazursky" stitched into it (which can be seen clearly here◊). The entire movie takes place on the island of New Penzance. One of the rivers on St. Jack Wood Island is called "Dawson's Creek". | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_d7b34c31 | comment |
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": "Social Services" might as well be her actual name. Hell, she's named in the opening credits as "Social Services." The chef for Troop 55 is only ever called "Chef" by his peers. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Scoutmaster Ward (only after Sam runs away, though) and Captain Sharp. For Wes Anderson films, they're quite reasonable. | |

Childhood Marriage Promise | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_e195807e | comment |
Childhood Marriage: Sam and Suzy, technically unofficially. They're married by an older Khaki Scout, who is quick to tell them that, no, this won't have any legal power, but the thought counts. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_e563bf09 | comment |
When Suzy is reading a book to Sam at Mile 3.25 Tidal Inlet, the scene cuts after she says "Part 2." This is at roughly the halfway point and the following scene marks a major shift in the plot. In essence she acted as a Title Card. | |

Prefers Going Barefoot: Suzy's brothers, while doing indoor activities together, such as listening to music and playing boardgames (although at one point, they are depicted playing ping-pong, indoors of course). | |

| Moonrise Kingdom / int_f19ff224 | comment |
The Un-Favourite: Suzy thinks she is this after she finds a book about dealing with problem children in her family home. All of Sam's previous foster parents got rid of him and labeled him as a problem child, even though it's clear that it's all the other kids who had the problem. His most recent family apathetically gives him up via a curt letter, and when called to pick up Sam after his escape, they simply can't be arsed. | |

Interactive Narrator: The narrator shows up at one point in the movie, both to break up the fight between Captain Sharp and Walt and inform them where Sam might be. The promotional video linked at the top of the page has him stating that he is the local librarian. | |

Captain's Log | |
| Moonrise Kingdom / int_fdaf37f0 | comment |
Captain's Log: Ward records a scoutmaster's log throughout the film. On the first night of Sam's disappearance, he expresses his worries about Sam and the morale of the troop. On the second night, after he learns that Sam is being sent to an orphanage, he is too despondent to record anything and simply trails off. After the storm, he happily reports that the reconstruction effort is progressing increasingly ahead of schedule, which he attributes to a strong esprit-de-corps among the troop. | |
