The result is a great example of tearing down the fourth wall of cinema (with regard to music anyway), and yet it still fits seamlessly in the work itself. In short, we loved this endearing coda &#8212; not to mention the film is a charming must-see throughout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In director Wes Anderson&#8217;s Moonrise Kingdom, a notable number of Hank Williams songs may have made the cut, but it&#8217;s the score from Alexandre Desplat that truly takes center stage for the audio element of the film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[8,39],"class_list":["post-241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-moonrise-kingdom","tag-soundtrack"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253,"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions\/253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twentyfourbit.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
