Despite being one of the most visually unique filmmakers working today, Wes Anderson packs his films with references and homage to films he loves. In this video I unpack the references in Moonrise Kingdom- and explore how tricky it can sometimes be to determine a scenes' true inspiration.

Ingmar Bergman puts it nicely: āIām not one of those who believe that an artist grows up out of nothing and starts to bloom with no nourishment at all. I believe weāre all part of a great hodgepodge, so we take from each other, and Iāve always been completely uninhibited in that regard. If I see something good, I steal it and make it my own.ā

I'd love to see another Wes Anderson Roald Dahl adaption. IMAGINE a Wes Anderson Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

If you steal from one author it's plagiarism; if you steal from many it's research.

Jason Schwartzmanās uncle also directed The Godfather haha.

I think spending so much time trying to deduce what he's "referencing" is almost fruitless if he's not outright telling you. He may not even be purposefully referencing things at all, and sometimes it's more fun to just watch them and enjoy the ride other than trying to draw lines between all possibilities. Lots of movies have a dance sequence and it may just be as simple as that!

we can also see wes anderson steal the fact that In the movie Charulata, the eponymous character is a lonely woman who considers an affair after her husband neglects him.
In the Darjeeling limited Rita has a short fling with Jason Schwartzman's character after her boyfriend mistreats him. When she is confronted by Jason's character this theme https://youtu.be/n8eaAW1_r3A plays in the background which is the same as used in the film Charulata https://youtu.be/tBNFnxoZ3xs
Wes is a goddamn genius.

Thanks for featuring Satyajit Ray's Charulata. What are your favourite films by Ray?

Enjoyable analysis! All art is borrowed from somewhere else, whether intentionally or unintentionally. And now Wes is at the point in his career where he even borrows relentlessly from his own works!
70 |
In Matt Zoller Seitz book about Wes Anderson, he confirmed that the binoculars shot came from Charulata. Anderson also mentions Melody, Black Jack and Small Change as references.
23 |
I do however know that Wes is highly influenced by Satyajit Ray as evidenced by The Darjeeling Limited
72 |
Finally Ray on Thomas Flight. Glad!!
31 |
Charulata is one of my favourite films!
10 |
Moonrise kingdom is my favorite wes anderson film!! I love the references and I even bought the criterion Blu-ray.
13 |
I think 8 1/2 by Fellini is actually the main reference for the dance scene in Pulp Fiction. Fantastic video, never knew Wes used so many film references in his films.

As Jim Jarmusch put it, āNothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And donāt bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: āItās not where you take things from - itās where you take them to.ā

You can't hear right now, but I'm fanboying whenever someone does a Wes Anderson analysis
32 |
Love your take on how his references add to his aesthetic of being aware that your watching a movie, and how you posed the question does it add depth to a scene and how to play with that in our films. Thanks for doing the research and presenting it so well šš¼

Moonrise Kingdom was one of the first Wes Anderson films I watched. I love the shot composition of his filmography
6 |
I think itās ridiculous to think that a scene that contains binoculars has to be a reference to another scene with binoculars. Star Wars and Moonrise Kingdom for instance have no similarities at all, there is just a prop thatās in both of these completely different films.

Yeah Wes had me watch Escape From Alcatraz so that was probably the film he was referencing
