"The Kingdom of Moonrise" was released in 2012. It seems to be a children's drama, but it is about a fairy tale about adults. It was nominated for the best original screenplay at the 85th Oscar Awards that year, and it is one of the most watched films. Douban scored 8.3 points so far. The movie begins when two children meet and plan to escape, are hunted down, and then escape. A series of absurd but incomparably true stories take place. The gap between the world of children and the world of adults is directly expressed in "Moonrise Kingdom" directed by Anderson.
In 1965, on New Penzance Island in New England, a team of Boy Scouts was stationed in the Evanhoe camp. One morning, the Boy Scout instructor Ward found that the schoolboy Sam had left a letter, and the "problem girl" Susie was also missing, so Ward and the Scouts began to look for them. It turned out that 12-year-old Susie and Sam felt namelessly depressed because of their family environment. Two children who had good feelings for each other eloped to an uninhabited beach and named it Moonrise Kingdom. After being found by the adults, Sam was to be sent to the juvenile school. That night, Sam eloped with Susie again with the help of the Boy Scouts. However, when the storm came, the two children had no way to escape and had no choice but to jump into the flood. In the end, Sheriff Sharp rescued them and adopted Sam so that Sam would not have to be separated from Susie. The two children in love finally ended their adventures and returned to the family.
Sam is an orphan and has changed several adoptive parents. After joining the Boy Scouts, he accidentally broke into the backstage at a performance of Noah's Ark and saw Susie playing the black crow in the crowd. In this way, the two teenagers became pen pals and wrote to each other about their troubles and sorrows. Susie complained to Sam: I was fighting with my classmates. My parents don't understand me, and no one understands me or understands me. Sam wrote back and told her: Dear Susie, they just don't understand you, people are sometimes selfish. But you have to know that your parents always love you the same. Sam comforted Susie by saying that the same sorrow would happen to everyone, but did not mention that he was an orphan. The two people slowly approached each other in this way, cherishing each other.
"Absurdity" is the most intuitive feeling of this movie. Two 12-year-old children who are full of dissatisfaction and despair with life plan an escape. Children of this age treat feelings naturally, sincerely, and purely. When they fall in love with each other, they will accompany each other closely. After Sam and Susie arrived at the beach, they rushed into the sea together, danced together, said I love you to each other, even kissed and got married. These actions seem absurd, but they all reflect the very real emotions between them. They understand each other, love each other deeply, and believe that each other will be with each other for a lifetime. Nothing can separate them, because they are the people who know each other best and the people who know each other the most. This kind of heartbeat, desperate for love, is something everyone will experience firsthand, and it feels more real. It is because this pure relationship occurs between two children that it appears "ridiculous".
"The Kingdom of Moonrise" is like a dream in the warm sunshine, and it tells the audience a fairy tale full of innocence and seriousness. There are tears and pain in this, but there must be no despair. As adults, we may no longer believe in fairy tales, but we will certainly be touched by fairy tales, re-examine ourselves in the touch, and regain the courage and purity we lost. I hope this movie can help you reap happiness. This is also a fairy tale unique to our adults.
