Kensuke's Kingdom
Movie • 2024
ReportA young boy Michael is taken by his family on a round-the-world sailing trip. But when a storm strikes, Michael and his dog Stella are swept overboard and washed up on a remote island. They struggle to survive, but one day Michael wakes to find fresh fish and coconut milk by his cave. He discovers his mysterious benefactor is Kensuke, a former Japanese soldier, creator of a treetop kingdom and protector of the orangutans. Slowly, communicating through drawings rather than words, Michael and Kensuke form a friendship. But something threatens to destroy the fragile world Kensuke has created. A thrilling adventure story with a poignant message that will resonate with audiences across the world.

I wouldn't consider it stalking, but for a few days Michael knows that someone else is on the island and watching him somewhere because the stranger leaves him food and water while he is asleep.

An orangutan is shot dead by hunters. The killing is not shown on screen, we just hear the gunshot, but the body of the orangutan is briefly seen in the aftermath.

Occasionally we see a shot of a mother bug with her eggs on a leaf. Ants are seen crawling on a sleeping Michael's leg near the start of him being stranded on the island.

Michael passes out twice, once from almost drowning and the other after being stung by jellyfish. Kensuke also becomes unconscious after being shot, though he recovers.

Kensuke's son is assumed to have died during the bombing of Nagasaki, along with his wife, as depicted in an abstract sequence. Note: in the original novel, there is a postscript in which Kensuke's family are revealed to have survived the war, having been away from Nagasaki at the time the bombing occurred. However, the film does not adapt the postscript, so we are given no indication that they survived in this version of the story.

We can reasonably assume that Kensuke suffers from it, though the most we see is his lingering grief over his deceased family.

Poachers use guns to shoot at animals. They end up shooting an orangutan to death. Kensuke is also shot in the torso, though he survives.
