A film that could've been great..... ruined.

Rating: 5/10 (24 September 2012)

Wes Anderson is clearly a talented man. I'm not a raving fool who's going to insist the man is a hack and ripping off people you've never heard of. So let me say it again, Wes Anderson is a very talented and skilled filmmaker who manages to combine a sense of nostalgia and zaniness in his films and he's quite good at it. "Moonrise Kingdom" is even an example of his talent, showcasing shot after perfectly framed shot, eccentric characters,interesting locations, and more eccentric characters he also likes putting in Music that is at times pretty cool.
So why you ask am I giving this film a five out of ten? Truth be told it sounds like I should be giving it an 8 doesn't it? Well you see Wes Anderson apparently is into children kissing. I suppose it tickles his fancy to instruct children from behind the camera on how to do such things. This film has basically what is supposed to be the first "Sexual Experience" of two twelve year olds and while thankfully they don't actually cross that BIG line they do French Kiss and feel each other's private parts, through clothing admittedly, but they do it nonetheless. Your probably shocked to hear me say this but I find that just a tad on the disturbing side. Let me rephrase that, I find that WAY on the disturbing side. However Wes Anderson does not and thus this film is heralded as being great. Its just another Quirky Wes Anderson classic right?! Except its not, it is a testament to depravity it honestly is a terrible shame that such a fun and entertaining movie had to ruined in this way. I really admire a lot about this film but that one scene just took it to far for me. Sorry Wes.
