A unique "doomsday elopement".

The first time I learned about Wes Anderson's director was through "Fantastic Daddy Fox", the grotesque humor, awkwardness and cuteness that can't be ignored directly hit people's hearts through the picture.

It was in "Moonrise Kingdom" that he "encountered" with the director again. He brought a group of eccentric and sincere children and told a unique "doomsday elopement".

What is "unforgettable at first sight" and "goodbye in love" is probably how I feel about this movie. The serious and stubborn romance and the serious humor of the British are moving.

"Moonrise Kingdom" depicts a healing love. It is a story about how a girl with a quirky personality is slowly moved by a gentle and shy but firm-willed boy in the way of spring breeze and rain.

As pen pals Susie and Sam, after a year of correspondence, they finally decided to escape from reality and go to a distant place to establish the "Moonrise Kingdom" that only belongs to them.

A quiet and gentle boy finally has the invincible will and courage for the person he loves. What could be more moving than this?

"We just wanted to be able to be together forever, so we thought we'd just get married, didn't we?"

The children pretended to be mature and asked the adults about their confusion. For them, "marriage" is only because of love, and it has never been involved in various realistic factors that adults only consider. Love is cowardly to adults, but brave to children.

I think it is the "brave, persistent, and selfless" of these children that expresses my deepest understanding of love, or this is what the most sincere feelings in my heart look like.

Both the princess and the prince can try their best to save their lover on the way.

"Moonrise Kingdom" is like a dream under the warm sunshine, and it tells a fairy tale full of innocence and seriousness. This fairy tale for adults, in addition to lovely children, also has a profound theme.

For example, the background time of the film: "The storm will hit the small island of New Penzance on September 5, 1965, which is three days later".

The huge storm destroyed most of the town's houses, but it wasn't long before it was discovered that the year's crops had been exceptionally good in yield and quality, and this was the boon of rebirth: all that remained would be better. powerful.

Maybe as adults, we no longer believe in fairy tales, but we will still be moved by fairy tales . I hope this movie can help you harvest happiness. This is also a fairy tale that belongs to us adults only.

As for more profound insights, there will be no more spoilers, everyone remember to watch the movie~

    The Anderson-style Rhapsody of Ghost Horses is just like the live-action version of "The Great Fox Papa". Its unique photographic soundtrack brings the same audiovisual and audio-visual enjoyment as usual, and the cold humor is still throughout the film. The climax part is a bit out of control, and the adult actors and supporting roles are more eye-catching. The girl is too beautiful and charming, but she doesn't like the choice of actors for little boys, and she doesn't have the melancholy and weird temperament of Jason Schwartzman.

    I have lost interest in this kind of American movies that imitate the European style of fantasy literary art.
