thoughts on moonrise kingdom

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2019)

The only movie i had watched from Anderson before this was Fantastic Mr Fox when i was younger and had a baseline appreciation for Anderson's style but after watching Moonrise Kingdom I have gained a whole new appreciation and perspective on Anderson's unique style. Moonrise Kingdom definitely showcases Anderson's best qualities and will definitely get you into watching the rest of his movies.
The story line was very well written, slightly confusing at first, but clears up after a while. Since Moonrise Kingdom's main characters a children it has a very nice childhood, nostalgic feel to it but in the best possible way. Seeing these adult situations through the eyes of children and since kids are unpredictable, Anderson did a great job of capturing this through dialouge and even music.
If you are looking for a good Wes Anderson movie to start of your Wes Anderson obsession, Moonrise Kingdom does a great job of this.
