One of the biggest reasons that this scene stands out from the rest of the movie is because of the presence of the intense storm overhead that illuminates the characters from the constant lightning and creates an intense “on the edge of your seat” moment which is even greater emphasized by the constant sound of thunder and gusts of wind. Wes Anderson combines the elements of a raging thunderstorm, the repeated appearance of a distinct silhouette styled shot, and the audio effect of church-bells in the background in order to illustrate the effects that Sam and Suzy have on the other characters by the love that they share for one another. In the scene towards the end of the movie in which Sam and Suzy make a risky climb up to the top of the church bell-tower, in the middle of a storm, police chief Captain Sharp (Bruce Willis) saves their lives by caring enough to follow them into the storm and bring them back to safety. Wes Anderson’s use of cinematography and other audiovisual elements creates a highly stylized movie that explores the concept of family and the need for people in our lives. Latter two films earned Anderson Oscar nominations.The movie Moonrise Kingdom (Wes Anderson, 2012) tells a story of two children, Sam and Suzy, who feel estranged and disconnected in their small island community of New Penzance.
