Moonrise Kingdom

When Cousin Ben is talking to Sam and Suzy as they walk through the camp, a marching scout extra in the background can be seen looking and waving at the camera.

The Island Police car is a 1968 Plymouth.

The movie is set in 1965.

When the "Command tent" at Camp Lebanon is flooded, and the nearby totem-pole is struck by lightning, the equipment used to tilt the totem-pole is clearly visible at the base of the pole.

In the sailboat scene the sail itself has a Quantum Sails badge.

Quantum wasn't founded until 1996.

When Sam is eating in Captain Sharp's trailer, the serving fork changes positions in the frying pan on the table and the top layer of bread on the sandwich changes position.

When the audience is hearing the broadcast over the transistor radio, the close-up shot on the radio reveals that it is turned off.

An overhead shot of the police station wagon driving across the island shows a smooth top and just the red light.

In later shots, the station wagon has a rack on the top and a siren in front of the red light.

The pilot of the plane incorrectly says the word "five" as "fiver".

In standard radio phonetics, the number "nine" is pronounced "niner", to distinguish it from "five", which is not changed or pronounced "fife".

The first shot when Scout Master Wars is recording his message, you see the recorder, a glass half full, an ashtray and a picture on the table.

From the opposite angle, his hand appears over the ashtray, the glass now almost empty and the picture angle and distance from the machine all change.

During the back and forth shots between Captian Sharp and Social Services, the wires in the switchboard change places, disappear and reappear several times.

Captian Sharp's trailer is shown from the outside at night and the window curtains are closed, but from inside the curtains are open.

When Scout Master Ward exits his tent the morning after his troupe leaves to rescue Sam and Suzy his neckerchief is on/off between shots.

When Scout Master Ward asks "Who's missing?", there are nine scouts at breakfast mess and one empty chair (at around 42 mins), but there are eleven scouts in Troop 55.

In addition to Sam, Lazy Eye is also missing from the mess table.

He reappears (at around 15 mins) when ten scouts and Scout Master Ward peer into Sam's tent.

When Suzy goes into the tent by herself, she is wearing a heavy layer of blue eye shadow.

A few moments later when Sam enters the tent, Suzy has been crying and her eyes are nearly devoid of shadow before Sam hands her his neckerchief and she wipes her eyes.

In the very next scene when Suzy is reading aloud from her one of her books, her eyes are once again fully coated with eye shadow.

When Scout Master Ward enters Sam's tent at Camp Ivanhoe, he discovers that it's empty and that Sam has left via a hole in the side of the tent.

The hole is covered by a map, but it's taped to the inside of the tent.

If Sam had actually left via the hole, he would have no way to stick the map to the side of the tent, and if he had left via the tent door - which was zipped with the zipper-pull on the inside - there would be no reason for the hole in the first place.

When Redford is motivating his fellow Khaki Scouts to help Sam, Redford's hair changes position several times between one shot and the next.

Suzy's left-handed scissors are mentioned at least two times but after she stabs a scout with them, she's shown holding them in her right hand.

When Sam and Suzy are writing letters to each other before their first meeting, the bedspread shown behind Sam features a '70s to '80s-style Formula 1 race car.

Camera shadows are visible in the lower right corner on scouts and the police chief while on the boat dock.

The sail position does not change when the yacht pushes of the pier and moor back.

It is not possible during real sailing.

It's the 60s on a New England island. Sam Shakusky is attending Camp Ivanhoe.

I absolutely loved it! I didn't know what to expect going in, but I ended up with a lingering smile on my face and a warm, fuzzy feeling on the inside.

I just can't fathom why this movie is getting such good reviews. Most likely the first and last Wes Anderson movie I'm seeing.

Wes Anderson's films are always full of his signature elements: unconstrained style, colorful images, and the deep and complex emotions hidden behind them. Moonrise Kingdom unfolds around two teenagers who elope from their dull lives, but proceeds to depict the more dangerously apathetic adult world.

My first Wes Anderson movie and I am really excited... What a movie...

I saw this movie last night, not really enjoying Wes Craven's previous movies, but enjoyed it so much I thought it would get really positive reviews (it had very positive reviews on our Oz film review program on public television). Instead there are a plethora of negative reviews saying how forgettable it was, how pretentious Wes Craven is, and suggesting kiddie porn!

My friends recommended a couple of movies while I'm at home recuperating, among them being Moonrise Kingdom. Alas, not a good choice.

I cant see why this movie has the high rating it has, usually i don't review movies, but this movie needs somebody to level out the ridiculous high rating it has. Movie does not catch my interest in any way.

One of my favourite films. The colours, the scenes, the way the camera moves around a group conversation.
