This elopement, I give full marks. ——Inscription
In the summer of 1965, on a small island far from the coastline in New England, Sam, a 12-year-old boy scout, eloped with a girl Susie. In the end, although the residents of the town found two children, the ending was somewhat unexpected.
The story comes from "Moonrise Kingdom".
Both Sam and Susie hate their current life very much. They met at a performance. On that day, Susie was assigned to play a crow because she angered the teacher, but even so, it would not cover her beautiful appearance. , Sam fell in love with her right away. "What are you playing?" Sam asked, "I'm a sparrow, she's a lark." A girl sitting next to Susie replied, and Sam gestured to herself that it was Susie, "Crow." Susie said. Sam was kicked out of the dressing room. "He seems to be interested in you," a girl said to Susie, who, at the same time, became curious about the boy who suddenly came in. After that, the two became pen pals in life. They communicated with each other, from understanding each other to complaining about their current life, and they also carefully planned an elopement.
They fled to an untrodden beach. Sam was a boy scout and has skilled field survival experience. They sympathized with each other. They could understand each other with just a glance. Sam made a pair of earrings for Susie out of beetles. Susie also had to simply pierce two ears for Sam's wishes. The two talked about their thoughts and shared their loneliness in front of the bonfire. Before they knew it, they fell asleep in the tent with their clothes on. The next day, Susie and her parents and Sam's superiors found them, and the two were taken home. There are three younger brothers in Susie's family, and the lack of parental care for her is the most important reason for her to escape from the family. On the other hand, Sam's adoptive parents don't like this child because he always has weird ideas. Once, officers had to take him back to his home first. Sam and Susie were restricted from moving and spent a few days of silence each, but at this time, the interior of the Boy Scouts was not so calm, and they decided to help Sam and Susie complete their elopement plan. And just like that, another great escape begins.
When the elopement plan was about to succeed, the sky suddenly began to rain heavily. Everyone in the town gathered to a church in the town to take shelter from the rain, but only Sam and Susie were not seen. In the end, everyone found them on the roof of the church. Because of their very dangerous position, no one dared to go forward, only the police officers gradually approached them. Sam and Susie were reluctant to return to the crowd. At this time, the police officer revealed his heart to Sam. He was willing to raise Sam and give him a free and warm home. The kind Susie didn't want Sam to become a wandering orphan, and he encouraged Sam to accept the police officer's wishes, so this drama, which evolved from elopement to rescue, came to an end. Sam and Susie return home, still in love.
The simple set and the straightforward plot made everyone watching the movie spend an hour and a half in the interweaving of crying and laughing. You may think that two 12-year-old children really understand the obscure love and hate that exists in human nature? Perhaps, this love at first sight is more of the expectation of "the same people who fall in the end of the world", expecting someone to understand you, expecting someone to help you, and hoping that you will not fall into the endless dark abyss of life. They come from different families, but they also lack the warm and heavy family affection. It is this kind of empathy that leads to mutual sympathy.
And the supporting characters in the story actually played those helpless roles in life. The frustration and powerlessness of the Boy Scout leader, the loneliness and helplessness of the police officer, the irritability of Susie's parents, the indifference and numbness of the servants in various positions, they are the victims of life, and at the same time, they are also the initiators of the elopement between Sam and Susie. The chaotic adult world has pushed the two children to extreme life choices.
As for the church under the rainstorm, it has become a refuge for everyone, and before that, the play "Noah's Ark" was originally going to be staged here. Legend has it that God saw that human beings were destroying the world on which they lived, so he built a Noah's Ark. He selected the remaining parts from every species in the world and put them into Noah's Ark, and washed them with a flood. All that's left. Therefore, when human beings encounter catastrophe, they will use Noah's Ark as a metaphor for Nirvana and rebirth. This church is Noah's Ark for the residents of the town. It not only protects people from the torrential rain, but also saves Sam and Susie, who were forgotten by the loving world.
There are always good and bad in this world, and there must be expectations when there is loss. In fact, as long as you don't give up hope for life, there will always be a turning point. Just like Sam and Susie, they seem to be strange children in the eyes of people. The simple and honest boy has a strong desire to protect the girl he loves, while the innocent girl draws eyeliner and pretends to be cold. However, the fairy tale book in her hand betrayed her kind and innocent heart. Some people say that this story shows the loss of innocence, but in my opinion, this is the eternal hope and longing in the human heart.
After all, it is always better to have a cold pair of eyebrows than to be affectionate. If you can't solve the trouble in front of you, you might as well escape for a while, go to the moonrise kingdom in your heart, watch the scenery of flowers blooming, and taste the taste of the wind.
