I had no idea what Moonrise Kingdom was about before watching it. I figured it was some kind of fantasy movie. I was wrong. Moonrise Kingdom is actually a Wes Anderson movie about camping. Specifically when two twelve year olds (one being a camper) decide to run off together. I’ve never really been a huge fan of camping (kinda dorky in my opinion). However, Moonrise Kingdom did make camping seem pretty cool, especially if you’re trying to survive in the wild. The thing I like most about the movie was the romance. I always like to see kid couples in movies or TV. Being a Wes Anderson movie means lots of familiar faces and symmetricality. With a quirky sense of humor. If you’ve never seen or heard of it, I would recommend checking it out.
