So tonight me and the boy went to see the less commercial
film: Moonrise Kingdom. A Wes Anderson
film (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I knew I was in for more than just a typical
movie. Wes tends to create his own world in which his stories live.
It’s a simple enough story. It takes place in Summer of 1965. A 12 yr old boy and girl who are both misfits
decide to run away together in a fictional new England village. Attention to detail was awesome. From the 1965 Zenith record player to the
camera angles and close up shots that gave the film such a groovy 60’s look.
With over the top performances, by
Bruce Willis, and Ed Norton as part of an ensemble cast I was definitely
entertained if not transfixed by this film.
It was a nice change.
All in all, the director's sense of fun and quirky attention to detail made this a film worth watching.
