Moonrise Kingdom - Where Story Meets Style
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2016
- In Moonrise Kingdom, Wes Anderson’s style is the perfect match for the story. He uses details to create a believable world, establishes the rules of this fantastical story, and creates a tone that forms a connection between the audience and the characters of Suzy and Sam.

Holy crap I didn't even notice the romance between Scout Master Ward and Becky
SAME!
Ylai Jah ikr that's so surprising
I was going to comment that after it came up in the video. Now I feel like watching the movie again :D
I thought it was pretty obvious.
Bergonath For people who have hawk eyes, mhm.
Wes Anderson is a masterful filmmaker and this is a masterful channel.
King of Wakanda aye you're that dude from every Collider comments section
King of Wakanda My brotha 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
yo RBIII sup!
"If the film is willing to kill the dog, it removes the layer of safety."
I think this is your best video since the Gone Girl essay. Thanks for this. :D
Thank *you* for watching! :D
When I first showed my mom Moonrise Kingdom, she thought the kids were going to die. I had no idea why she would think that, because I had already watched it and knew they wouldn't... but hearing your description on breaking the safety illusion makes so much sense.
Suzy: "Was he a good dog?"
Sam: "Who's to say? But he didn't deserve to die."
These lines have stuck with me since I saw this movie. Beautiful writing and delivery.
This was a really important movie for me. First indie I saw in a theater, first (and favorite) Wes Anderson film, and the first time I really noticed that there was something unique going on behind the camera. I knew the names of some popular directors (Spielberg, Nolan, etc) before that but I didn't fully understand what they did. Then I saw Moonrise Kingdom and loved it partially because it was clearly made in such a different way than anything else I had seen at the time. The shot compositions, use of color, music, dialogue, the way actions are presented... it's all super distinct. When Grand Budapest Hotel came out I was super excited to see it, and when I did my first thought was "yes, this is clearly made by the same person." So basically Wes Anderson was the person who made me realize how much impact a director's individual style can have over a movie. And Moonrise Kingdom is the most masterful realization of his style to date. Largely because the story and characters are his best written IMO, and because the setting, time period, and the ages and occupations of the characters organically make room for that specific "Wes Anderson" quirkiness that comes off as forced in some of his other films.
TJ Hastie really had you not even seen a David lynch, terry Gilliam, stanley Kubrick movie? Real directors have their own clear style!
Wow! That's great that you have such a specific movie that you can point to as the thing that made you realize what a director does. And I agree, the age of the characters, the setting, etc, make this the best application of his style. Thanks for sharing your story!
Hanniffy Dinn well, Monty Python & the Holy Grail was my favorite movie as a kid but I thought of it as a movie made by a group of comedians rather than a Terry Gilliam movie. Hadn't seen anything else by him at the time. I was also familiar with The Shining (which Moonrise Kingdom actually pays homage to several times) but I didn't know anything else about Stanley Kubrick, although he's now my favorite director. Hadn't seen anything by Lynch yet. Keep in mind that I had just finished 8th grade when Moonrise Kingdom came out. Most of what I liked at the time was mainstream comedies and action movies. But seeing it in the theater was one of the key events that got me more interested in film in high school. I'm now starting college in hopes of being a screenwriter myself.
TJ Hastie
Oh boy you in for a real treat then!
If you are just starting out and young still!.
The film that blew my mind when I was a kid like literallly was BRAZIL by Terry Gilliam, and then ERASER HEAD by David Lynch...
and of course Kubrick movies.
Never mind the Japanese films later on, honestly you've got so much amazing stuff to discover..... you are lucky indeed....
TJ Hastie Are you me? I had the same experience.
Ahhh, analysing Wes Anderson, NOT on his visual style. Original indeed good sir.
ps. please notice us senpai LFTS
I always notice you :P Glad you liked the video!
can you tell me where did you get the music from the first 50 sec of the video from.
I'd like to see someone do a video on how Wes Anderson recycles his actors. I know there are lots of directors who love to cast certain actors in all their movies (Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp etc.), but Wes has an entire stable of A-list actors that have made multiple appearances in his films like Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Jeff Goldblum, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
and after watching any of his movies you notice why,nobody directs actors like him in both quality and style
Storytellers Are you an anime fan?
my all time favorite Wes Anderson movie is The Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise kingdom
Good ones. Excited for what he does next!
+Lessons from the Screenplay Have you seen his H&M ad?
Same.
And Rushmore!
And The Darjeeling Limited definitely!
Fuck I love them all.
Fantastic Mr Fox is one of my favorites, it's still a classic
My favorite Wes Andersen film is definitely The Grand Budapest Hotel. The cinematographic style is wonderful, I think it has wonderful acting/comedic timing, a beautiful color pallet, such a heartfelt story, and about a thousand other things about it that make it so great.
Grand Budapest definitely feels like the culmination of his style. It's all turned up to 11.
Are we talking about an 11 on a scale of 1-5 or a scale of 1-10? [I feel like 1-5 is more accurate, in all honesty.]
@@LessonsfromtheScreenplay and then The French Dispatch came out!
The way I would describe Wes Anderson's style of film making is that his films are shot and written as if, rather than being experienced first hand, they are being communicated to you via a third part; like you're being told a story.
Certain elements that would normally be implicit are made obvious, and certain elements that have been deemed unimportant seem to have been omitted.
The thing that makes this style interesting is that the distance between the the story and the audience encourages them to examine the piece as a cohesive whole, rather than fixate on any one aspect. One naturally assumes the story has a "Point" in the same way one would assume that an anecdote told by another person would have a "Point".
I think that's a good way to describe it. It does feel like the film equivalent of someone reading you a story.
Very well put!
Sometimes even literally. The Grand Budabest Hotel is someone reading an story of someone listening to a story of someone’s life.
That ending was the best emulation of Wes Anderson I think I've ever seen. Obvious, yet subtle. Just the right balance.
haha, awesome. The right balance of obviousness, subtleness, and dorkiness.
I'm on a pilgrim mission to watch all Andersonian films. So far I've got:
1. Fantastic Mr Fox
2. The Grand Budapest Hotel
3. Moonrise Kingdom :)
4. The Life Aquatic
Nice! That's most of them. Before you watch "The Darjeeling Limited," I might suggest watching the short film "Hotel Chevalier" that serves as the prologue(ish) for the film.
Lawrence Calablaster don't forget The Royal Tenenbaums and The Darjeeling Limited (my favorite)
Lessons from the Screenplay :) I heard about that from Evan Puschak the Nerdwriter (one of two other go-to guys for cinematic analysis). I actually found Darjeeling on DVD for $5 at the grocery store where I worked during the summer :)
Lessons from the Screenplay Isn't Natalie Portman in the Chevalier bit?
She is! And yeah, I love Evan's video on Darjeeling.
Wow, I never even noticed the love story with the switchboard operator!
It's so small!
Okay but can we all give some appreciation to this video itself? I mean jeez, the editing is done so well this almost feels like a Wes Anderson film itself XD Great job! Also, god I love this movie. Wes Anderson is a huge inspiration to me, I love his style and his stories and his attention to detail.
Moonrise Kingdom is my favorite Wes Anderson film. It is him at the summit of his art.
Me too!
I saw it 4 times in the theater ahahaha.
This and Every Frame a Painting are my favorite film channels.
world building elements, like the telephone operator, are what make the difference between a movie and a film... if that makes sense.
I gotcha.
is this an episode of "I Love Films"?
Are these words different? Lol
@@nycardia900 movie - low brow, film - high class
The end card graph was AMAZING.
Yo!!!! He did the ending in total moonrise kingdom style!! Nice touch 😆👌
The Royal Tenenbaums is mu favorite film from a filmmaker I absolutely adore. Grand Budapest is a very close second, but nothing can beat how brilliant the colors and cinematography are, and how somber the characterizations and soundtrack of The Royal Tenenbaums. I could watch it on repeat and not grow tired.
Richie and Margot's story is one of my favorites.
Hard to pick a favorite Wes Anderson, but RUSHMORE will always hold a special place in my heart.
Also, the last 30 seconds of this video, normally reserved for skippable thank you's and promotional material, is a creative delight.
Rushmore is definitely a classic. And I'm glad you enjoyed the ending! :P
i know im late but yes!!! rushmore holds a special place in my heart too
for me it would be The Grand Budapest Hotel, its the first Wes Anderson film I've seen then next would be Isle of Dogs, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom and so on.. and maybe his next film too which is titled the French Dispatch. Every film that he's made are all my faves.
Great stuff! Would love to see one of these on The Social Network :)
One day, for sure ;)
Boy have I got news for you!
Lmaoo
His style is so prevalent that it is hard to see anything else. I think at least this and budapest remind me of renaissance paintings. The shots are balanced in so many ways and there is a lot going on. A lot of directors lean more towards other aspects of film like story, explosions, thrills, amazement, twists, and everything else. His stuff kinda reminds me of some children's books that have little flair in their story but are perfectly enjoyable due to the classic illustrations. Except his movies don't really lack in other departments either as far as I remember.
I am just trying to say he seems to be attracted to simplistic human problems. Like it would be interesting to see Wes Anderson's "War of the Worlds" or Wes Anderson's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" like what would those even look like?
I looove that you give attention to screenplay. I feel like so many film fans overlook how influential a fantastic screenplay is. Story is soooo important and Im so happy you highlight that in every video
Awesome. I agree - I wish I had focused on screenwriting so much more when I was growing up, because as you say it's soooo important.
Love Wes Anderson's films. I always see them as being akin to either watching a play or looking into a dolls house. I've always like deceptively plain looking shots, where it looks like a portrait/landscape painting but is filled with detail. Probably why I enjoy the style of Yasujiro Ozu too.
I always feel as if I should say The Royal Tenenbaums or Life Aquatic are my favourites of Anderson's films but I keep going back to Fantastic Mr Fox. Would love to see him do more animated work as he's shown a few times that stop motion animation is a passion of his.
Great work on this episode, especially with your presentation. The script excerpts were presented in a beautifully Andersonesque style.
Thank you! People keep mentioning Fantastic Mr. Fox, and I don't think I've seen it since theaters. I should really revisit it!
Oh my goodness, my absolute favorite Wes Anderson film (probably my favorite film altogether) everything I love about this movie was so clearly and beautifully illustrated in this video! Love it
Awesome. :)
The Royal Tenenbaums will always be my favorite Wes Anderson film but both it and Moonrise Kingdom take us on such unique emotional journeys
Yes. Richie and Margot's story in Royal Tenenbaums was really powerful for me.
This video was so incredible! I literally just finished watching Moonrise Kingdom, and it is such an amazing film! I love how there's a striking difference between the more emotional scenes and the less emotional. I agree that lots of the supposedly emotional scenes I didn't react to at all because of how passive and dispassionate the dialogue was, but I think that's what makes Moonrise Kingdom such a great film. Weird dark humor and a longing for freedom is exactly what makes the movie a movie. A Wes Anderson movie.
Ahh my favorite video you've made so far.
It's incredibly refreshing finding engaging and original content on UA-cam.
Thank you good sir.
Awesome! Thanks Christian :)
You rock, man. Wes Anderson is awesome: thank you for both analysing his visuals & wrapping into the story & characters. Thank you for being a sweet cinematographic UA-camr :)
That last bit at the end is the best parody of Wes Anderson I have seen. Everyone always goes for the easy superficial elements of his movies. You good sir, actually analyzed, understood and executed quite brilliantly. Kudos.
Dude... well done! You should get an award for this or something.
Damn you I came here to learn. Not to feel.
lol - but why not both?!
I love me some Fantastic Mr. Fox. The pauses between and during lines are awkward, but in a reflective kind of way.
The emulation of Anderson's style in this essay goes so far to convey its thesis. Thank you for making such lovely and well-constructed shorts. Few discussions of film language effectively convey the emotional content of the topic.
The thing about "keeping you at arm's length from the emotion" really rings true. I think it's part of why Moonrise Kingdom is pretty polarizing too-- I've met people who think it's his most opaque movie, and the most about style > substance. It's one of my favorites, though.
I greatly enjoyed this thesis on Wes Anderson films please do Fantastic Mr. Fox I found the humor fresh and exactly what I've been missing in modern movies.
DUDE!! I had watched 3 of your vids, totally curious about your next analysis. Really well done!
Thanks Julian!
I love how you not only understand the style of each film/screenplay you look at, but how you manage to mesh its style into the world of your videos. All so that we can learn lessons from the screenplay.
i watched this the year it came out on christmas eve because i couldn’t sleep. i was 12, and it was the first indie movie i had really ever seen. (my parents were and are big disney fans). thank you for highlighting its charm and depth. like sam and suzy, i return to moonrise kingdom often. such a sweet and endearing film.
You darn clever editor, you. What a cheeky outro. Great work, Michael - it's lovely to see art through your lens.
Thanks, Michael :)
I must say. Beautifully done video. You must be a real film fanatic to discern so much meaning from a single aspect of a movie. How do you even do this? Have you read some books that allow you to understand and deeply analyze cinema? Would you care to share a few titles with us fellow cinephiles.
Moonrise Kingdom is one of my favorite films ever and certainly my favorite from Wes Anderson. There are so many layers to the story and it's also a beautiful film that shows his style the best.
Honestly, this is my all time favorite movie. I think it's because when I watched it for the first time (last year), it was around December in my freshman year, although I can vaguely remember most of my reactions, I do remember crying a lot. I felt like I could relate to it and Suzy and Sam's troubles.
It's really pretty great. I always get emotional at the end...when they've weathered the storm and life surely isn't perfect, but things are okay...which is a big improvement. Bittersweet endings always get me.
If anyone else here adores this film I'd highly recommend The End Of The F***ing World. It's an english TV series with a brilliant zany/wes anderson-y sense of humour (even some of the same stylistic elements too) on Netflix. It also happens to be about two rebellious teens who run away from their shitty lives to be together while a group of people frantically search for them.
That was beautiful. I almost cried.
Please, do a Tim Burton film or an LGBT film. Most LGBT films shares the same elements like ''love that dare not speak its name", etc.
I absolutely love this movie. This is that kind of style that features in Grand Budapest Hotel. Everything about Wes Anderson movies is so perfect and amazing. What a filmmaker.
I enjoy how rewatchable Wes Anderson movies are to catch small details that would be missed the first, second, third, and likely more times.
That ending was incredible
I freakin love Moonrise Kingdom. It's my favorite. Excellent vid!
Thanks! (I really love it too)
Man, every time you video essay creators post a new video I get totally excited! Wes anderson is the king, I love his style! I love how the stories are usually pretty simple, but by creating a different universe and language Wes makes it interesting form beginning to end.
Awesome! :)
I also love how you reply to all comments and engage with your audience! Love your essays! I think you and the other video essay creators (Every frame a painting, storytellers, channel chriswell, nerdwriter, now you see it) should plan like a day of a week for each one, or try do make a channel togheter, I think the community is basically the same so all of you could reach more people if you got together. just an idea! Keep the awesome content!
Tiago Marques Thanks Tiago! If nothing else, trying to put something like that together would be really fun.
I have never written a comment in all my years on UA-cam but I feel like I will die if I don’t say this. Moonrise Kingdom reminds me of Welcome To Night Vale. The world isn’t meant to mimic reality-it is a statement, as are all of the characters. The story distances you with a character’s complete honesty or unrealistic naivety. While you feel that the characters have lives outside of what we see, you recognize it’s fantastical nature (creating a comedic affect). Yet what is truly inspiring about this style is that it reveals fundamental truths about our world. WTNV explores fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of change, and the inevitable, but it’s not depressing. Like a work of art it is an expression of the human condition that can’t be told in any other way with the same affect.
All of this crap just to say I love this style of storytelling and I adore this channel.
Thank you for this, your editing is on point.
Thank *you* for watching!
Even when nothing is actually happening, his films are still fascinating to watch for reasons that I don't quite understand. The music is incredible.
It's true.
Fantastic video! I've watched this film so many times but have failed to notice Scout master Ward and Becky's relationship, I don't know how, they are so sweet! Thank you for covering this film in such a great detail :)
My pleasure!
This is what I love about UA-cam, this video is SO UNIQUE because Wes Anderson gives us that quirkiness in us to keep inside of our hearts and my favorite Wes Anderson movie is Fantastic Mr. Fox. AWESOME video💜
This is my favorite video from you yet, the ideas are communicated expertly and your editing is phenomenal, showing tangible improvement in each video! Just watched The Royal Tenenbaums yesterday, and it pales in comparison to Moonrise Kingdom because the small little characterizations are so much better in the latter and because the emotional dissonance has impact. One question, if realism is shirked in many places when the movie is interacted with, how does your previous point about setting up the stage for actual tension based on prior events fit in? As far as my favorite Anderson movie, it's probably a three way tie between Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, and Grand Budapest Hotel, leaning towards the first two (although the Life Aquatic reference at the end of your video was appreciated!) Can't wait for the next video, cheers.
Edit: Correct me if I'm grasping at straws, but I think I just came to the epiphany that this video was so stylized to prove your thesis that meaning can be emphasized through style.
Thanks Devin, that's very encouraging to hear! To your question about setting the stage: The thing I find fascinating about WA's films is that they are simultaneously not realistic but also believable. Really, this shouldn't be that crazy of an idea, because no film is actually realistic. Every film's style creates a manufactured world that is different from reality. So the same way a scifi film set 100 years in the future has to establish the rules of the world and have internal logic, so must a Wes Anderson film. Ultimately, how similar a story is to our real life doesn't affect the tension or stakes in the story world-as long as the rules of the story world are well-established and never broken. Hopefully that kind of makes sense.
And to your last point...I'll vaguely answer that at some point I really want to make a video about *intentionality* in filmmaking :P
For intentionality in filmmaking, could I suggest 12 Angry Men and A Clockwork Orange?
Devin Holmgren Interesting - any reason why those two in particular?
12 Angry Men = Use of rhetoric in filmmaking, forcing audience to choose a side which are both shades of gray and then revealing the right (or is it?) answer
A Clockwork Orange = Forcing the audience to "participate" in ulraviolence and find reasoning behind it when introduced to the Ludovico technique aka accessory to crime theory
I love Moonrise Kingdom. It was the second Wes Anderson movie I ever saw, the previous being The Fantastic Mr. Fox. After that, I saw The Grand Budapest Hotel. I feel like Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel are so good that I don't see a way for Wes to possibly top himself after those ones.
Oddly enough, Grand Budapest Hotel is my least favorite. But the thing about Wes Anderson films is that they're subject matters are all so different that everybody is going to have a different favorite. I can't wait for what comes next.
Thanks! I love your "removing a layer of safety" when the dog is killed. "Was he a good dog?" "I can't say, but he didn't deserve to die like this." And I love the music -- the music is slightly teasing and comical and contrasts with the tension of the movie.
Did anyone notice that this video was filmed like how Wes Anderson films things if they are listed? He immediately cuts to another thing with no pans, but with a cut, and lists them slowly. You have accurately imitated Wes's style in this video. Well done, Sir.
I noticed it! :P Thanks, it's really fun when people appreciate the details!
ayyy lmao
I subscribed so fast :) This is the kind of content I love to watch. So insightful, thank you!
Awesome!
same here
I fucking love your videos, I'm an aspiring movie maker, either screen play, screen writing, or directing. I've been watching the movies you make videos on then watching the videos themselves taking notes, and writing down quotes from the books etc. Keep up the great work man, I love them!
Awesome! So glad you're finding them helpful :)
Moonrise Kingdom was how I learned about Wes Anderson, this was great! you were really committed to emulating his style, kudos
Came here from the Beyond the Screenplay podcast to praise the unbelievable amount of effort and care Micheal put into this video. Congratulations and thank you! :)
Awesome video as always Michael, loved the movie, love the channel ;)
Thanks! ;)
Absolutely love this film Wes Anderson is a genius! BIG THUMBS UP!
Thanks!
One of my favourite things: finding a new youtuber with quality content. You earned yourself a subscriber! Great video!
Beautiful video. Amazing how you captured Wes Anderson's whimsicalness and maintained the movie's style even through analyzing the movie itself.
LFTS for your next screenplay analysis:
Perhaps a screenplay for a movie like Shame or Her, it would be interesting to explore how a screenplay expresses a characters mental well-being.
or a screenplay of a film with a small setting and less dialogue (Alien, Das boot, Badlands) eventhough badlands has narration and travels everywhere, in a sense it is still small setting.
I know you did the art of character in american beauty, but still.
I like it. So many movies to do, so little time!
Lessons from the Screenplay we appreciate your effort anyhow, take it easy.
Her would be a great choice!
Great video! The Breakfast Club would be an interesting piece to dissect because of the nature of the dialogue. We're almost at 100k, congrats.
I don't know that I've ever seen The Breakfast Club. I'll have to put that on my list. And thanks, Bradley! I know, it's pretty nuts. That's a large number of people.
Lessons from the Screenplay Jesus you are making us 80s kids feel old mate !
CONGRATS ON 100K!!! This channel is great for us writers, and the average moviegoer because, as you said, understanding the craft can lead to a deeper appreciation of it. Keep up the good work Micheal!
"How can a train be lost? It's on rails..." sums up what is perhaps my favorite Wes Anderson film. Personal relevance, in that it's about difficult sibling relationships, but also i dig that it's set on a train. Road trip movies are among my favorites, anything that confines the story's action even more (rails) is a bonus. It's like the photographic challenge of having lenses of only a few fixed focal lengths in the camera bag.
I have yet to watch this movie once without slowly and softly crying at the end. That dissonance does a number on you, and even though I don’t understand my tears, I feel them.
I loved moonrise Kingdom and I am going to check out more of Wes Anderson's movies.
Excellent, I think you'll enjoy them.
You should check out the royal tennebaums next if you liked moonrise. Grand Budapest hotel is another also similar
The only end cartographic I was ever happy to watch! Great job on everything keep it up!
haha, thanks!
I get goosebumps every time an LFTS video ends. EVERYTIME.
A truly superb analysis of a movie that holds a special place in my heart, as much of the film was shot at the camp that was my first job! 6:32 was where I worked, and seeing it in film, paralleling the same journey in discovering that people exist who will accept you for your quirkiness, is a gift I can't thank Wes Anderson enough for! Thank you for reminding me of how much I appreciate this film!
Great job! I love Moonrise Kingdom ❤
Thanks! Me toooo
This was beautiful.
Love, love, love "Moonrise Kingdom"! Thanks for the re-visit.
THANK YOU. As a movie fan and writer this channel has helped me a lot
Honestly, I've always been put off by Wes Anderson's style and quirkiness, to the point that I've never been able to sit through any of his movies for want of...well...."getting it."
But your breakdown of this movie helps me appreciate Anderson's cinematic motif more. I think I'll check out this and a few more of his movies as well from this new perspective.
Also, great, great job as always.
RUTheCatalyzt Your really doing a disservice to yourself by not watching Fantastic Mr. Fox it's a four star animated masterpiece and George Clooney and Meryl Streep are too good and too funny as Mr and Mrs Fox plus there's a scene between Bill Murray and George Clooney early in the movie that makes me laugh hard every single time.
Brilliant end card: to answer your question, Djaarling limited & Grand Budapest Hotel are both dear to me. My patience was rewarded, what a fantastic video
Thank you, and thanks for sharing your favorites!
I'm not english native speaker, but I'd like to say something, I looooooveeee your videos, I've seen just two and I already want to watch all of them, thanks for doing that kind of videos, this kind of things gives the real taste to internet, thanks a lot
Wes Anderson IS a genius. He is extremely creative with his directing and storyline. I have watched Moonrise Kingdom multiple times and still am taken away with the Camera angles and object placement. I don’t think anyone can match his talent at that level.
Although I think Moonrise Kingdom is better movie, I really like Grand Budapest Hotel.
That's kind of how I feel about The Life Aquatic. Moonrise Kingdom is clearly better...but there's just something special about TLA that gets me.
what about Rushmore?
My top 3 Wes Anderson's are 1. Fantastic Mr. Fox 2. Grand Budapest Hotel 3. Moonrise Kingdom
Grand Budapest is almost my favorite but Fox is just too good.
I actually think grand budapest is a better film or at least more mature of a film. Actually I would think their kind of opposites in a way. Moonrise is about kids acting more like adults and Grand Budapest is adults acting childish in a way.
Your videos are awesome... learning so much! Thanks for the great content. :)
My pleasure!
Hands down, my favorite Anderson film is Moonrise Kingdom. I’ve watched it multiple times throughout the past few years, and I haven’t tired of it at all.
Loved your video on this particular film, can’t believe I hadn’t found this channel sooner.
I cannot like this enough. Moonrise Kingdom was very dear to me before this video but you have added an extra layer to my affection for this film! Your video has somehow moved me to tears.
Great video! Wes Anderson is amazing.
Thank you! He is.
just found your channel and it's friggin awesome. i learned a lot about films (and i thought i already know some of these stuff) plus i adore wes anderson's works and i got to understand it more because of this. great job!!
ps: love the credits scene too and your steve zissou get up
Awesome! Thanks :)
I loved the fact that you tried to analyse the style of the film as a device or a thing with purpose rather than a descriptor of the way in which Anderson actually directs, showing his intentions and such. Please make more!
I'm glad you appreciated that! I figured breakdowns of his style have been done to death at this point.
I love the effort you put in to these. From the research to the presentation. I love that you actually put this together visually in Wes Anderson style.
Fantastic video essay. Absolutely love this channel.
Thanks Noah!
Keep up the good work you brilliant pixie man
haha, thank you.
Your videos are such a boon when one can’t sleep at night. Very soothing, and uplifting.
The ending was AWESOME! It was like a scene from a Wes Anderson film, perfectly executed.
Your channel deserves more views
The only view I care about is yours, you classy fedora-lover. ;)
Thank you for keep updating videos.. It helps me to make my own good screenplay.. ( p.s The Grand Budapest Hotel is still the best of Wes movie for me)
My pleasure!
This is my favorite Wes Anderson movie. It feels like the perfect vehicle for his unique style.
I appreciate Wes Anderson's films, but this is the only one I truly fell in love with. Moonrise Kingdom is on my list of (IMHO) perfect movies. But of all the movies on that list, it's the only one so enchanting that I wish I could live there. It's so precisely edited that I can't imagine it being shorter or longer and yet I wish it would go on and on forever. It presents a world where awkward adults and awkward kids can be perfectly-awkwardly who they are, which is ironically why it's such a contrivance. But it's a beautiful contrivance and I love it. This is a great channel I just discovered! I love your very concise analysis and I've learned a lot. Please keep going, you have a new fan.
