Moonrise Kingdom
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

neutral · AI labelView post →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.

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.

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!

positive · AI labelView post →Last four movies. Really frustrated it's so hard to pass a basic bar like the Bechdel. I need to watch more movies by women creators. Nolan and Anderson disappointed.

But the pressure (I put on myself to find the right movie to fit my vibe) was too much, so I did a random NBS pick: Moonrise Kingdom. Twas... something

positive · AI labelView post →Moonrise Kingdom, maybe Wes Anderson's most underrated movie (because the one in which his reach is widest—his sixties-rebellion movie, where the definitive opposition to moralism comes from on high, in the form of a miracle) at @metrographnyc.bsky.social at 2:40pm: www.newyorker.com/culture/rich...

While I don't think it needed the scene of preteens groping each other in their underwear, the film seems a fun, sincere attempt to show the madness and redemptive possibilities of first love. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday #MovieSky #FilmSky

I teach a class that makes the movie its centerpiece. I t boggles my mind that anybody could describe that movie as "coasting on looks."

positive · AI labelView post →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 so glad I decided to stick with this one because this movie is AWESOME!

positive · AI labelView post →Moonrise Kingdom is my favorite Wes Anderson film. Check back next week for when I change my mind again.
positive · AI labelView post →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…
