Moonrise Kingdom

[stressmaster5000]

One of the trailers-clips for Moonrise Kingdom has the scoutmaster opening his "Stag" scaled Victorinox knife and using the "Hook" to un-zip the tent to look for the missing scout! The knife looks a little odd but that hook is unmistakable! Its a 3 layer knife with what appears to be genuine stag scales but the bail is the wrong shape and it is installed on the wrong end!

Can't get the video to embed properly so use the first link.



***** Actually it seems the second link offers a quick opening.

That must have been Marty McFly's knife since it took place in the 1950's and had a hook that didn't appear on SAKs until 1991.

I like the little inlay on the scales

I saw this film the other day - another excellent Wes Anderson!

This is definately a SAK - I reckon a Climber.

I'd love to know who did the mod and why they chose that raccoon inlay......

I read this somewhere on line;

After doing the stop motion animated FANTASTIC MR. FOX I think Mr. Anderson’s been emboldened. He’s gone even more extreme with his style of turning the world into an obsessive-compulsive show-and-tell diorama. It’s kitschy art design overload with careful attention paid to every detail (the raccoon logo on the hilt of Ward’s pocket knife, the various badges and buttons, the Indians painted on the side of the canoe, the covers of Suzy’s stolen library books, the maps, the tents, the collections of equipment, the costumes for the Noah’s Ark musical…) Sometimes there are cartoony physics, and even cuts to animation or miniatures with little attempt to look real.

Anyone know any more about it?

That's rather nice - is the movie worth watching then?

If you've seen any of Wes Andersons other films; Royal Tanenbaums, The Darleeling Limited, Rushmore, The Life Aquatic, and enjoyed them, then you'll probably enjoy this one too.

If not, I'd still recommend it as a film well made with an excellent ensemble cast (something Wes excells at), lots of quirky details and beautiful sets. His films are also very funny, and poignant.

I have seen a couple of those, thanks... I shall check it out
