Moonrise Kingdom:
Moonrise Kingdom is directed by Wes Anderson and is set in the
60’s, on an island off the coast of New England.
It is about a young Boy Scout called Sam who falls in love with a girl called
Suzy, both aged around 12. Suzy and Sam meet at a church nativity play and
start writing to each other. Suzy is unhappy with her family and Sam is an
orphan, they decide to run away together. They both act like they are older
than they actually are; they have certain maturity about them. I think this may
be part of Wes Anderson’s style. Overall the film is about very young love and
the town’s search for them. The film is very stylized a yellow, green and blue
color theme runs thought. Everything is quite ordered and the costumes have
lots of detail on them. It is set mostly out doors in woods and on a beach.
It’s really arty and that’s the main reason why I like it.
My favorite character is Scout
Master Ward because he understands that Sam and Suzy should be together, and
helps Sam when social services try to take him into a care home. I don’t like
the mother and father of Suzy because they attempt to separate her from Sam.
