Moonrise Kingdom

Moonrise Kingdom 

Moonrise Kingdom the comedy starring Jared Gilman, Kara Hayward and Bruce Willis follows a 12 years old boy and girl, whose witty sense of humour and maturity sends them on a wide adventure across New England set in 1960’s. Their blossomed love captures the audiences heart as they are part of a man hunt from the Chief (Bruce Willis) and the scouts. However I found this film wasn’t as funny as I hoped it would be. The lose Romeo and Juliet love story reference wasn’t clear, I believe if it was clearer to the audience the film would be more popular. Also I found the young girl irritating and no funny at all.

Wes Andersons film opens with the hunt for the first of the two young children Sam, as he treks through the New England to meet his lover Susie. The pair uses their wilderness skills to start their new life together because they believe no one understands them and their love. Their love blossomed when Sam sneaks into the girls’ dressing room where Susie was getting ready with her ‘friends’ with her sarcastic attitude and his awkward personality was love at first sight. After dozens of letters back and forth discussing their day-to-day lives the pair plan to meet, to start their new life together.

Moonrise Kingdom’s us-against-the-world tale is well directed by Wes Andersons, the film expresses young love between Sam Shakusky and Susie Bishop. Sam is a very serious young man who from a background of moving to and from different foster homes has left him strongly independent therefore believes he can survive on his own, so disappears from Scouts camp only leaving a resignation letter for the leader (Edward Norton). The eldest daughter Suzie of a dysfunctional family where the mother and father (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand) just wonders around the family home after a long day being a lawyer, with out any recondition of the three young children. The characters perform well through out the film, portraying the writer’s vision clearly.

The film is available in most stores from the 1^st October 2012 including Amazon and HMV.

Have you been interested in art from a young age?
 
Yeah, i used to sit and play drawing games with my mum before i knew how to write. I could draw an apple before i could draw my own name!
  
Is there anything in particular what got you interested in art?
 
Probably my mum again to be honest, she’s amazing at drawing so more than likely stems from there x
 
So would you say she inspires you the most? Or are they any other artists that do?
 
Well my mum inspired me to appreciate art but i remember visiting the Louvre in Paris when i was about 8, so I’d say it was a place- Rather than a person!
 
Ok, what high school did you go to?
 
Walkden 

Did you do art as a GCSE? If so what did you get?
 
Yeah got an A
 
Have you ever taken part in any art festivals, if so what were they called or do you plan to?
 
I haven’t! Yeah would be something I’d get involved in definitely
 
Have you ever bought any pieces of art?
 
Well i recently moved into my own place so been buying bits and bobs but mainly do my own work!
 
Who's your favourite person to draw and why?
 
I don’t have anyone in particular but i prefer drawing women to men as the have more defined features to work with eyelashes, defined cheek bones etc...

How do you begin to create the paintings?
 
It’s all done using grids, i draw a grid on the photo and the canvas, to scale, then roughly fill the separate boxes with lines, that’s when start to paint, i may have to spend several hours working into the picture to get it spot on

 
What's the hardest art piece you've painted?
 
There’s a Kanye West in my living room that I’m painting with metallic paint, which is hard to use because it has a similar consistency as butter
 
Out of all the paintings you've painted which one is your favourite?
 
Probably a Notorious BIG that I did about 18 months ago
 
Do you use any websites to sell your art?
 
Nope!
 
Don't know if this is true but, I've heard that you've sold a painting to someone in America?
 
A person from New York wanted to buy one, but postage costs were too dear at the time!
 
Ok, do you design your tattoos yourself?
 
I have designed like 3 of them but my tattoo artist is amazing!
