Moonrise Kingdom

ComedyDramaRomance

Directed by Wes Anderson

Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. From TMDB

    Watching MOONRISE KINGDOM which I think is my favorite Anderson film. Kind of heartbreaking now how good Bruce Willis is in this, he fits right in with WA and never got the chance to work with him more.

    Watch: Night of the Living Dead is my second-favorite movie after Jaws. With that Criterion treatment, this one couldn't be easier! Trash: SO MANY GOOD ONES. Gah. Okay. Moonrise Kingdom. I'm not losing that because it's BAD, I'm losing that because I've seen it before and know that I'm good to go.

    #MOVIEMADNESS Day 11 Moonrise Kingdom (Wes Anderson, 2012) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkv8... Yes, Anderson’s films are stylised & stylish, but style itself can be joyful & emotional. I love his use of Britten’s music in this film; it’s like a character in itself. And this is a great opening scene!

    I have mixed feelings about Moonrise Kingdom (2012).

    MOONRISE KINGDOM is such a lovely film for many reasons, chief among them being it’s Wes Anderson bidding farewell to a certain kind of “Wes Anderson, filmmaker”. Maybe a big reason why he shot this on 16mm?

    I’m not sure how much there is too explain beyond what you saw. But maybe that you’ve only seen one other Anderson film makes you think there’s more to it when rather it is what it is. I personally was disappointed, the Wes Anderson style was driven so hard it took away from the movie and waaaay to many characters. All these amazing actors and they had so little screen time they were barely utilised. Tom hanks and Steve Carrel had barely 10mins of screentime. What a waste! Less actors would…
