Center
Primary
The film primarily explores apolitical themes of childhood, first love, and the search for belonging amidst dysfunctional adult institutions. While it critiques the rigidity of some systems, its solution is rooted in individual compassion and the formation of unconventional, personal bonds rather than systemic political change.
Moonrise Kingdom features a cast that is primarily white, aligning with traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, and DEI themes are not central to the story's focus.
Secondary
The film features Suzy Bishop, a young female character, who uses a melee weapon (scissors) to physically defeat a male opponent in close-quarters combat during a confrontation.
Moonrise Kingdom does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story focuses exclusively on the innocent, heterosexual first love between its two young protagonists and the eccentric adults in their lives, rendering the LGBTQ+ portrayal N/A.
Moonrise Kingdom is an original film with characters created specifically for this story. There is no prior source material, historical basis, or previous installment from which character genders could have been established and subsequently altered.
