Running Time: 94 min
I think it is fun being a boy scout. You can learn a lot about making camps, fires and all that stuff that can be useful in the nature. Make it as a movie and add Wes Anderson (his recent adventures are: Fantastic Mr.Fox and The Darjeeling Limited) to the mixture, you get something unique and heartwarming without being too melancholic.
This is your typical Wes Anderson film with unique people, dry jokes, dysfunctional family and a soft color tone everywhere.
The tale centers around two kids in the 60s. One a boy scout named Sam (Jared Gilman), the other the EMO girl, Suzy (Kara Hayward) who made a pact one year ago to run away together in the island of New England.
Sam is an orphan and as he escaped he is still in his boyscout uniform. The escape alert the adults led by Capt. Sharp (Bruce Willis), Scoutmaster Ward (Edward Norton) and followed by Suzy's parent (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand) and involving a social worker (Tilda Swinton). They roam the island looking for the two kids and resolving their issues.
The film is not boring at all, in fact it is funny and exciting in a Wes Anderson way. Through their adventures we learn on how the characters deals with their own reality and how this escape puts together the people in the island together.
One of the best element of Moonrise Kingdom is how the dialogue, no matter how dry it is, can evoke a smile or a nod from the audience. I know the whole event in this film felt surreal, but sometimes, aren't we felt a bit surreal when we deal with our problems?
