In "Moonrise Kingdom", why doesn't anything happen to Sam after lightning hits him?
The next scene shows that he is covered in black dust but other than that he doesn't seem to be hurt at all.
Answer
I was also expecting a worse outcome from lightning strike. But IMHO the harmless result is part of the movie's not-quite-realistic style. This cartoonish style is also evident when the junior scoutmaster rescues the senior scoutmaster by jumping an impossible distance. The movie is not meant to be taken 100% literally... it has a exaggerated-campfire-story vibe throughout.
