Two twelve-year olds make a pact to run away together and live together for a week in a secret cove they name Moonrise Kingdom. Sheriff Sharp, the girl’s parents, a scout troupe, and a social services rep all hunt for the missing couple. Directed by Wes Anderson.

It seems like a simple story about kids falling in love, but there’s also a more complex story about what’s going on ith the adults…it really addresses big issues, big family stuff. I’m not sure if it’s meant to be taken as seriously as you can read into it, but I took it very seriously.

There are elements of Mel in there—especially the comedic elements, which are very Mel. You never know what this guy has been through in the movie. You know, we never tell you what he’s done in the past. It doesn’t really matter because he redeems himself in the end.
