Moonrise Kingdom. At first, it sounds like a bad anime cartoon but, in reality, it is Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola's newest film. Moonrise Kingdom is about two youngin's who fall in love, in what appears to be some sort of summer fling. According to IMDB, Moonrise Kingdom is "Set on an island off the coast of New England in the 1960s, as a young boy and girl fall in love they are moved to run away together. Various factions of the town mobilize to search for them and the town is turned upside down -- which might not be such a bad thing."
Now, I know what you're thinking. Really, another Wes Anderson movie? Really, how unrealistic is that plot line? Now, before you go crying about how hipster this is to all your friends at the coffee shop down the street as your french press half decaf is being prepared, let us think about how aesthetically fulfilling this movie is. Also, how about the cast?!
First off, Wes Anderson just loves color. He fills his films full of color, and the settings and lightings in this film make it seem so exact to the date it is set. This film is set in the 1960's. Also, his characters are always dressed in costumes. They're not just wearing clothing, their dress really clues you in to who those characters are. Take the main boy character in the trailer's uniform, the details are insane. Those patches!
Is this a photograph from the 1960's or a movie still?!
Moonrise Kingdom is set to be in theaters May 25th!
