Hunt for the Wilder People (Taika Waititi 2016) is a comedy thriller which entails a young rebellious child, named Ricky, who runs away from his home and is soon discovered by his foster uncle, named Hec, to which the uncle suddenly discover he is being hunted by the child protection agency for kidnapping  the young boy. The film involves themes of family and relationships. It displays the themes simply. The family theme is exhibited through the uncle loosing his wife and thus befriending the young boy eventually after finding him in the forest and having to rely on him to get back home. This consequently leads to construction of the relation theme between Ricky and Hec. At first Hec doesn't like Ricky because he thinks he is an annoying attention seeking child, thus having lack of a relationship, but with further time spent with Ricky, Hec discovers that he isn't all those things he thought he was initially.

The director evidently had a lot of inspiration from Wes Anderson. Taika constantly uses square framing and commonly associated musical scores which can be heard in MoonRise Kingdom. Key scenes include the opening scene where Ricky is introduced. It introduces him as a disobedient lost cause. This creates a contrast to the developed character that Ricky becomes at the end. Other key scenes include will be the chase scene in the car and the scene where Ricky discovers they are being chased by the child protection agency.

In conclusion the film portrays its themes successfully through the development of the relationship and family between the main protagonists.
