Everyone has been talking about Wes Anderson's newest film, Moonrise Kingdom, since it came out this fall. After watching, and re-watching it over the past month, I have developed a semi unhealthy relationship with this movie that may be borderline obsessive. It was an aesthetic dream, with it's prevalent yellow and green color schemes, and 1960's nostalgia. Every time I think about the movie my eyes go all wide and buggy, and I get way too excited.

The story, for those who have not yet seen it, revolves around young Sam and Suzy. Sam and Suzy meet at a church play one summer, and have chemistry right from the start. They become pen pals and quickly hatch a plan to run away together. When they run away, total mayhem ensues as Sam's khaki scout troop, the local police, and Suzy's parents all search for the children.
