Following the story of two
twelve year old that fall in love and decide to run away, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of how a town is rocked and turned
upside down in the wake of the runaways and the storm brewing off the coast of
this once peaceful New England town. And
that might not be such as bad thing to happen.
Sam and Suzy are the odd children of this small island town and running
away may just be their key to happiness in world where unhappy normality rules.
Visually appealing, this
movie connects people with its hilarious and intriguing story line. The witty dialogue and visual gags will have
you fall off your set with laughter.
While still maintaining some very sober moments, the film will catch you
from the beginning till it releases you in the end. The overall purpose of the stories
appears to be that finding your own happiness is far more important than trying
to keep someone else’s.
