Moonrise Kingdom

Moonrise Kingdom is a delight of a movie. It took me back to the way people often were in the 1950s and very early 1960s in California until about 1963 or 64. Though it is set in 1965 on the East Coast somewhere on an island, it isn't hard for me having lived back then (I was 17 in 1965) to imagine this happening on a backward isle somewhere far removed from big city life.

Though the whole movie is sort of tongue in cheek in a way, people really actually were like this in many many ways. So, for those of us who lived back then it made it all the funnier and more endearing. I had no trouble at all imagining people like the boy and girl being just the way they were and even the girl stabbing someone with scissors was something that could have happened the way people were just wound so very tight in all ways back then.

So, if you lived back then or even if you didn't get ready from some real nostalgia set in a sort of fairy tale setting. It is really a wonderful wonderful movie you don't want to miss.

And Bill Murray and Bruce Willis and many other actors you will recognize must have loved being a part of this wonderful movie too.
