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 1st October 2012 including Amazon and HMV.
