Experiencing first love

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2013)

Searching for a real good movie, I turned to a new Wes Anderson's project called Moonrise Kingdom". Praised for his previous movies, Anderson was convinced that all tremendous stars would appear in his new project without hesitation and he was right :-) Watching aggressive Bill Murray, shy Edward Norton, domineering Tilda Swinton, timid Frances McDormand and reserved Bruce Willis in their roles in one movie is a huge event. Playing completely unusual characters they go well"! Furthermore, having seen all Anderson's movies, Bruce Willis decided to play in Moonrise Kingdom" only for a small salary. Bruce plays in such artistic movies once in a blue moon", but his appearance as a Captain Sharp in Wes Anderson's movie brought him a nomination for the best supporting actor. I hope he gets the Independent Spirit Award for his performance! Anyway, all cast is great, in particular, the main characters, a boy and a girl who run away together to their kingdom", played by Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward.
Watched in cinema, the movie looked really awesome (the action takes place in year 1965). Watching unusual clothes and strange places, listening to old-fashioned music (especially Francoise Hardy) is a great experience. Flirting with surrealism is one of the most recognizable elements in Wes Anderson's filmography. Using long shots, he shows the beauty of kingdom", which is the only place on earth where everything is possible. Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Heywood) agree to run away from home, because they want to get there and be together. Being an adult, we forget about our dreams and values. Sam and Suzy are aware of this fact, that's why they want to change something in their common and adult life.
Having watched this movie I came to the conclusion that it's an extremely valuable project which I recommend to anyone.
