* NiceHat: Bloom and Stephen have been wearing them since they were kids, and Penelope and Bang Bang seem to pick up the habit while travelling with them. This adds to the film's charmingly timeless style.

* UnscrewedSaltShaker: Bloom tries to shake some sugar into his coffee and it won't pour. In disgust, he puts it back down on the table. The sugar jar is instantly picked up by Stephen, who taps it twice on the table, then pours sugar into his cup of coffee. Still disgusted, Bloom picks up the jar after Stephen puts it down and pours... and the entire jar of sugar pours into his coffee.

* HatShop: Bloom's bowler complements his kind, dependable personality, while Stephen's fedora represents his more headstrong tendencies.

Directed by Creator/RianJohnson, ''The Brothers Bloom'' is a 2008 caper film about two brothers who've worked together as con men for their entire lives. At the top of their game, the younger brother Bloom (Creator/AdrienBrody) finds himself increasingly reluctant to do shady deeds. His older brother Stephen (Creator/Mark Ruffalo) persuades him to do one last con, accompanied by their regular accomplice Bang Bang (Creator/RinkoKikuchi), with eccentric heiress Penelope Stamp (Creator/RachelWeisz) as the mark. Naturally, Bloom falls head over heels [[InLoveWithTheMark in love with Penelope.]]

Lolicon and shotacon have been disambiguated. Links with too little context are being removed - "paedo" is not always a trope, examples where the tropeworthiness is unclear are being removed. Also, please do not use "loli" as a synonym for little girl; see Lolicon And Shotacon as to why not


* {{Shotacon}}: Diamond Dog (in the worst possible way), although it's mostly subtext, and only becomes canon through the deleted scenes.
