How old was Wes Anderson when he made Moonrise Kingdom?

Wes Anderson has outdone himself with Moonrise Kingdom. I grew up in the 1960s and early 1970s, so the time frame for this film is spot-on for my childhood. The film revolves around two twelve-year-old misfits who make well organized plans to escape the regimentation and convention of home life or summer camp.

Possibly Anderson’s best film in terms of style. The year is 1965 and a remote North Eastern coastal community is plunged into confusion when it discovers that two kids have run away. Sam, a discontented Khaki Scout, and Suzy, a put-upon older sister and forgotten daughter, abscond into the forest to escape their dissatisfying existences.

Who is Inspector Joshi in the movie Sunrise?

Why was the dance scene in Moonrise Kingdom saved?

The dance scene on the beach was saved for the very end of filming, so that the two young leads would be comfortable around each other, and was done on a closed set (just the two leads, co-writer and director Wes Anderson, and the cameraman). The pilot of the plane incorrectly says the word “five” as “fiver”.

When did Sam and Suzy meet in Moonrise Kingdom?

It could well be. It’s 1965 and pre teen pen pals, Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Heywood) agree to run away from home and meet up a year after meeting for the first time.
