    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The dance scene on the beach was saved for the very end of filming, so that the two young leads would be comfortable around each other, and was done on a closed set (just the two leads, co-writer and director Wes Anderson, and the cameraman).
    • Goofs
      The pilot of the plane incorrectly says the word "five" as "fiver". In standard aviation phonetics--NATO alphabets--the number "nine" is pronounced "niner", to distinguish it from "five", which is pronounced as "fife".
    • Quotes

      Sam: I feel I'm in a real family now. Not like yours, but similar to one.

      Suzy: I always wished I was an orphan. Most of my favorite characters are. I think your lives are more special.

      Sam: I love you, but you don't know what you're talking about.

      Suzy: I love you, too.

    • Crazy credits
      During the final credits, Alexandre Desplat's music is vocally decomposed, like it was for the piece of classical music during the movie.

    Sweet, beautiful, and funny
    I loved this movie! One of Wes Anderson's best - up there with Rushmore and Fantastic Mr Fox. Top reasons to see this movie:

    The love story between the quirky dark characters was so sweet. The casting for the 2 lead kids was spot on! You can take kids to this movie. They won't get all of the subtle humor but you will. The music and the film setting. The quirkiness of the filming, scenes, and narrator. Everyone in short pants... classic! Bruce Willis is actually good in it. Beautifully shot. You leave the theater with a smile on your face and a tear in your eye. Best movie so far this year.

    Anyone who said they did't like it, doesn't get Wes Anderson. If you like his movies, you will love Moonrise Kingdom!
