Mention Wes Anderson, and everyone generally thinks of the romantic composition of pink in "The Grand Budapest Hotel". In the film "Moonrise Kingdom", he still uses a harmonious color composition to tell an adventure of innocent and ignorant love.
Moonrise Kingdom was released in the United States on June 29, 2012. The film has been nominated for the Academy Awards, the American Global Awards, the MTV Film Awards and other awards, and was the opening film at the 65th Cannes International Film Festival.
The film focuses on two 12-year-old teenagers, Sam (Jared Gilman) and Susie (Carla Hayward), who fall in love and plot a runaway from home in a letter.
As they fled, the people of the town were mobilized. Meanwhile, a terrible storm is brewing on the surface of the sea. If these two children had not been found before the storm, their chances of surviving had become slim.
Secretly planned childhood adventures
The story takes place on the island of New Penzance in 1965.
Sam is a soldier in the Boy Scout Camp and is highly survivable in the wild. But he was not popular among the Boy Scouts.
Susie was born into a family of lawyers and enjoyed reading. But in the eyes of her parents, she was a problem child.
The two exchanged words in the letter, Susie thought no one in the family could understand her, and Sam felt that no one in the barracks liked him. In this way, the two teenagers reached a consensus on "elopement".
Encounters after their respective escapes
Officers find Sam missing
Secondary escape with the help of companions
After the first failed escape, the officer learned that Sam did not want to be a Boy Scout and contacted his adoptive parents. But the adoptive parents didn't want Sam to go home, so the officer had to contact Social Welfare. When Sam's friends heard the news, they decided to help the couple escape in order to prevent Sam from entering social welfare for examination and treatment.
Witnessed by a buddy's cousin, Sam and Susie "married". As the two men were about to leave, the storm crept in and the townspeople hid in the church, including the fleeing children.
Fearing capture, Sam and Susie slip up to the summit of the church, ready to jump into the flood. The officer decided at a critical moment to adopt Sam and save the lives of two children.
Artistic tones and compositions
This film recreates Wes Anderson's unique personal style. Exquisite clothing, symmetrical composition, warm yellow tones of each frame has a retro texture of the 70s of the last century.
Susie's costume is in unison with the lighthouse behind her and blends in. Obsessive-compulsive color combinations are prominent.
Sam's green military uniform was in line with his Scout status, and Susie's short pink dress matched her role as a little princess in the team. When the two meet, the composition is rich in color and not cluttered, and harmoniously blends with the background.
Black humor between the lines
When Sam tried to escape the barracks, he was inadvertently struck by lightning and carried an electric current on his body during the torrential rain.
When the very unreliable cousin was a witness to the marriage of the two teenagers and his partners wished the two teenagers a new life, Sam returned for the telescope.
The old man in the film, who is the narrator, has a comedic effect every time he appears on camera to explain.
The two children fled to a romantic country and bravely told the world: "We love each other, just want to be together, what's wrong?" ”
This carefully planned escape is also an innocent and youthful love. Check out this film on a warm and quiet afternoon!
