Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

“Sam: So, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Suzy: I don't know...I want to go on adventures I think--not get stuck in one place. How about you?”

It is the year 1965. Suzy Bishop (Kara Hayward) and Sam Shakusky (Jared Gilman) - two precocious prepubescent school children, embark on a runaway adventure after months of writing back and forth from the moment they met during a performance of Noye's Fludde. Wes Anderson directed the film, Robert Yeoman was the cinematographer, and Wes Anderson wrote the screenplay along with Roman Coppola. The film won the critics over and rightfully so. The pair fight through seemingly difficult obstacles just to be together- from angry campers on the hunt, to running away from the possibility of electroshock therapy, to parents and social services who will separate them. It may be amusing and trivial to the audience but then again, they're children. Suzy and Sam know who they're running from but not where they're running to. Moonrise Kingdom reminds us how it is to be young and in love... mainly with the idea of what it is and it is perfectly summed up in a phrase in which Suzy tells her mother: "We're in love. We just want to be together. What's wrong with that?".
