Through
Web
Anderson's
lens
and
the
orchestral
framework,
the
world
appeared
to
be
more
candid
and
real.
An
adolescent
love
story
based
on
two
adolescents
set
up
in
1965,
Moonrise
Kingdom
has
all
the
elements
to
keep
the
audiences
glued
to
the
big
screen
for
ninety-four
minutes.
The
show
stealer,
Sam
Shakusky
(Jared
Gilman)
is
an
orphan
running
from
boy
scouts
and
foster
parents
leaving
his
scout
leader
and
guardian
sheriff
Captain
Sharp.
Suzy
(Kara
Hayward)
is
the
only
rebellious
daughter
and
the
eldest
child
of
married
lawyers
(Bill
Murray
and
Frances
McDormand).
So
what
happens
when
these
two
twelve
year
olds
head
off
for
a
prosperous
and
bight
future?
Yes,
12
year
olds!!
So
the
story
of
Moonrise
Kingdom
is
easily
recognisable,
as
most
of
us
have
gone
through
the
phase
of
naïve
blunderings,
foolish
notions
and
mindless
conflicts
in
our
early
teens.
So
disobeying
the
code
of
conduct
set
by
the
world,
these
kids
are
too
determined
to
set
themselves
free
and
set
a
world
of
their
own
in
what
the
island
they
would
like
to
name
‘Moonrise
Kingdom'.
The
plot
is
easily
relatable
and
gives
one
a
convincing
lump
of
nostalgia.
Each
character
is
crisp,
defined
and
contemporaneous.
The
adult
group
did
full
justice
to
their
part
as
the
kids
undoubtedly
stole
the
show.
Anderson
has
played
wonderfully
with
the
idea
of
two
socially
awkward
kids
getting
together.
If
you
love
Wes
Anderson,
you'll
love
Moonrise
Kingdom.
The
mid
60's
make
an
incredible
visual
on
display.
Overall,
watching
this
quirky-unusual-crazy
romance
ensures
one
an
unforgettable
and
hand
drawn
cinematic
experience.
