{{tropelist}}
* [[Acting Unnatural]]: The agent following Erik down the stairs.
* [[Action Girl]]: Hanna, naturally.
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Goes hand in hand with [[Fairy Tale Motifs]]. For example, Marissa is both [[The Big Bad Wolf]] (obsessed with her teeth, [[Little Red Riding Hood|pursues a little girl]], [[It Makes Sense in Context|emerges from a wolf's maw]] in the climax and the [[Cunning Like a Fox|Cunning Vixen]] ([[Evil Redhead|red-headed]], crafty and mendacious).
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: {{spoiler|Isaacs turns out to be one, where as Erik
* [[Badass]]:
** [[Badass Abnormal]]: {{spoiler|Hanna}}
** [[Badass Adorable]]: Hanna is cute as a button, and she'll floor you with no trouble at all.
** [[Badass Family]]: Hanna and Erik,
** [[Badass Normal]]: Erik
* [[Big Bad]]: Marissa
Line 33:
* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: Sophie. [[Hidden Depths|At first]].
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: In the sense of lacking tact rather than being nice. When asked how her mother died, Hanna bluntly responds that she was shot three times.
* [[Call to Adventure]]: Hanna believes she's "ready" for the world. When Erik agrees, he gives her a radio transponder that will reveal their position to the CIA (specifically, Marissa) if she chooses to switch it on.
* [[Camp Straight]]: Isaacs is sooo flaming... but seems to be into women. Or hermaphrodites. Or little girls.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]:
** The camera focused on Weigler's shoes more than strictly necessary, but it's still surprising
** [[Chekhov's Skill]]: As soon as Hanna grabbed
* [[Child Soldier]]: Hanna puts all other child soldiers to shame.
* [[CIA]]: It was involved in some shady stuff. {{spoiler|They had been genetically modifying fetuses to grow up to be efficient killing machines.}}
Line 45:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Marissa, who sends in a [[Body Double]] to meet with Hanna rather than get near her herself. For that matter, so is the guy monitoring the CCTV when he realizes Hanna's behavior isn't quite right.
* [[The Danza]]: Eric Bana plays Erik.
* [[Death
* [[The Dragon]]: Isaacs to Marissa.
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: The Moroccan facility
Line 53:
* [[Evil Redhead]]: Marissa. She is not [[Fiery Redhead|fiery]], however.
* [[Fairy Tale Motifs]]
* [[Fantasy
* [[Foot Focus]]: On Marissa's heels.
* [[Fractured Fairy Tale]]: An inevitable interpretation of the movie, thanks to the numerous fairy-tale [[Shout
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Used several times, particularly when {{spoiler|Marissa shoots Hanna's grandmother and when Erik impales Isaacs}}, probably because of the PG-13 rating. Still, it's fairly hardcore.
* [[Granola Girl]]: Rachel seems to be this what with her lectures about not wearing make-up and her general hippie tendencies.
Line 63:
* [[Hermaphrodite]]: The dancer in Isaac's club. ''"She has both male and female genitalia."''
* [[Heroic Albino]]: Hanna.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** [[Dollhouse|Adelle De Witt]] is a hippie now?!
** [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Lord Cutler Beckett]] as a blond and campy [[Psycho for Hire]].
** Who knew [[The Lovely Bones|Susie Salmon]] was such a badass...
* [[Hitman
* {{spoiler|[[I Am Not Your Father]]}}: It seemed to genuinely pain him to admit it.
* [[Impaled
* [[Impromptu Tracheotomy]]: "Can I borrow your pen?"
* [[Indy Hat Roll]]: Hanna, as she escaped the CIA holding facility.
Line 88:
* [[Omniglot]]: Hanna is incredibly adept at foreign languages.
* [[The Oner]]: A particularly impressive one. Going from a long walk to an expertly choreographed brawl with a handful of [[Mooks]].
* [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]:
** Saoirse Ronan just can't decide how thick to make Hanna's German accent.
** [[Cate Blanchett]] attempts a southern accent. It's not entirely convincing.
** May be a case of [[Fridge Brilliance]] in that the accent isn't supposed to be real in-universe. May be a case of [[Fridge Logic]] in that you'd think the CIA would have hired better dialect coaches for their agents.
** Alternate [[Fridge Brilliance]] in that the times [[Cate Blanchett]] has the accent is when she is trying to come across as
** Also in-universe, Hanna and Erik's accents show up even when they're speaking foreign languages.
* [[Out, Damned Spot!]]: The first time we see Marissa, she wakes up and goes through her morning routine, including brushing her teeth. Later, as she's wound up by events, we see her brushing her teeth again, hard enough to draw blood.
Line 98:
** [[Saoirse Ronan]] has been known primarily for her roles in ''[[Atonement]]'' and ''[[The Lovely Bones]]''. Hanna's a bit more of an... active role.
** [[Cate Blanchett]], the Aussie rose to end all Aussie roses, is a [[Smug Snake]] of a CIA agent who isn't afraid to shed some blood.
** Tom Hollander, known for characters with a refined
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Johanna, Hanna's mother.
* [[Post Modernism]]: One interpretation.
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Marissa and her [[Body Double]].
* [[Raised
** Erik might have taught Hanna to be a brutal fighter, drilled the encyclopedia and several languages into her, but basic human interaction is a bit beyond her.
** Hanna's time with Sophie's family particularly emphasizes this, her [[First Kiss]] being an excellent example.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|After being the "recruiter" of the super-soldier experiment, Erik dedicates the last fourteen years of his life ensuring that Hanna will have the strength to survive, even attempting to give her a good (albeit incomplete) academic education. After Hanna learns the truth about him, he draws everyone's attention so she can get away. Just as he dispatches the hitmen, Marissa finally catches up with him and kills him.}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Sophie and Hanna, [[Lampshaded]] in that Sophie wears pink and Hanna wears blue in many of their scenes together.
Line 113:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: And how! There are gorgeous shots of a frozen lake in Finland and the deserts of Morocco especially. And there's the decaying amusement park in Germany too.
* [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You]]: Saoirse Ronan is about to shoot you with an arrow.
* [[Sensory Overload]]: Hanna has had virtually no interaction with modern technology. You can imagine the panic when she finds herself surrounded by a boiling electrical kettle, a loud TV, a humming ceiling fan and the buzz of flickering florescent lights. It really doesn't help that some military helicopters are seen on TV, considering the CIA raided her house with
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: [http://s-ronan.com/photos/albums/Photos/MovieProductions/2011-Hanna/MovieCaptures/590.jpg Hanna]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Ship Tease]]: [[Les Yay|Hanna and Sophie]]. It's the strongest connection Hanna makes. Also, they kiss, though the commentary points out that Hanna sees a kiss as a sign of love, not sex. Sophie is also still willing to lie for her even after she sees Hanna brutally beat people. And then there's the fact that Sophie's first thought upon meeting Hanna again was 'I might like to be a lesbian.'
* [[Shown Their Work]]: When fleeing from the Galinki faculty, Erik and Johanna are driving a Polish car (Polonez), which was heavily in use during the 1990s.
Line 120:
* [[Smug Snake]]: Marissa.
* [[Spit Take]]: Sebastian has one of these when Hanna joins them for dinner:
{{quote|
'''Hanna:''' (''Deadpan'') {{spoiler|Three bullets.}}
'''Sebastian:''' *[[Spit Take]]* }}
* {{spoiler|[[Super Soldier]]: Hanna is the sole survivor from one of these programs terminated by Marissa. If you go to the [[Wayback Machine]] archive of the viral website ([http://web.archive.org/web/20110809110752/http://www.thegalinkaproject.com/ www.thegalinkaproject.com]) you can view a picture of her personnel file - apparently the CIA was growing super-soldiers for the United States Army. Whether the Army was involved, or even KNEW, is unknown - especially as any apparent Army personnel in on the project could be CIA plants (not that any Army personnel are depicted in the movie...).}}
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Hanna and Sophie.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]:
Line 129:
** {{spoiler|Though, to be fair, Hanna is sitting on her and, thinking she was Marissa, probably would have killed her if she'd tried to get up or leave anyway. Judging by her reaction, even [[Properly Paranoid]] Marissa hadn't expected Hanna to actually kill the double, though it does raise the question of why, if they thought the girl was dangerous, [[Fridge Logic|they sent anyone in to be with her at all without a screen of bulletproof glass between them or something]]. The real [[Too Dumb to Live]] is probably the entire CIA operation for not just killing Hanna when they find her, which is what Marissa obviously intended to do from her terminating of all the other super soldier children.}}
** {{spoiler|Issacs, in his efforts to follow Hanna, literally tailgates her for several hours.}}
*** [[spoiler:Sophie's family could've slipped away when the bad guys went after Hanna. They stick around because
** {{spoiler|The agents that try to kill Erik catch him in an open, empty subway platform, and they have guns. They could just shoot him ... but instead try to grab him first, allowing Erik to fight them hand to hand, where he has the advantage. And they knew he was very dangerous.}}
* [[Toy Ship]]: According to the director's commentary, Sophie's little brother, Miles, imagines himself her [[Knight in Shining Armor|knight in shorts and t-shirt]]. {{spoiler|Which Marissa correctly susses out and uses to get him to tell her where she went, by telling him she needs to protect Hanna.}}
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: If you watched the trailer closely, there will be few surprises for you in the film.
* [[Training
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Hanna, obviously.
* [[Underside Ride]]
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20170914150435/http://photos.imageevent.com/afap/wallpapers/movies/hannamovie
** Sophies mother, Rachel is a fan of this trope in general.
* [[What Happened to
** We can infer it might be not-so-nice, given what we know of the bad guys, but please don't just leave us hanging!
** We do get to see [[Face
*** Brutal...
*** Not so, those posters are of Johanna and Eric along with a bunch of newspapers in German detailing missing, presumed murdered, women. That said, dear Marissa probably did do away with them.
*** {{spoiler|Actually, the original script outright shows that they survived (Hanna sends a postcard to Sophie at the end), so that's something, at least.}}
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Hanna.
* [[Wicked Stepmother]]: Marissa, with her mother-like feelings towards Hanna, [[Complete Monster|fits the bill]].
* [[X Meets Y]]:
** ''[[Salt]]'' meets the Hit-Girl scenes from ''[[Kick
** Has also been described as "''[[The Bourne Identity]]'' with psychotic [[
** Bourne trilogy + Nikita + [[Blade Runner]]?
** Bourne trilogy meets Grimm's fairy tales meets {{spoiler|''[[Gattaca]]''.}}
