I don\u2019t do many movie reviews.  I really like movies but I don\u2019t like the \u201cgoing to the movies experience\u201d so by the time I see them almost everything has been said about them good or bad.  But if a movie isn\u2019t a blockbuster and I REALLY like it and I am in need of some posting material I will give it a shout out on the blog.  Moonrise Kingdome checks each of these boxes.  For some of you, I can sum up the whole of the Moonrise experience with two words \u2013       Wes       Anderson<\/p>\n

I think most people love\u2019em or hate\u2019em.  In my opinion he makes some of the best movies out there, I am a big Wes Anderson fan.  Some years back I posted about another Anderson flick The Darjeeling Limited<\/a>.  I liked that one too.  This guy has a way of making a movie, telling a story that is like no one else.  I love the details.  If I can use an analogy of how he is able to make such a strong connection to his audience, it might be like a HDR (high dynamic range) photograph can remind you MORE of how a place or a scene felt<\/em> than an \u201caccurate\u201d photograph.  Perhaps a better analogy might be an impressionist painter who can make you feel what is going on in the painting using colors and shapes instead of a photo-realistic representation of the actual scene.  Wes is able to use some lines of imperfect dialog <\/p>\n

, quirky props, slightly off camera angle and an impeccable sense of timing when woven together is so much more effective than hitting you over the head with the exact details.  You see this and identify with he character and their situation and that\u2019s what good movies are all about, right?<\/p>\n

Some people focus in on one of the components like the dialog or the cinematography and think \u201cthis is terrible\u201d or unbelievably boring just like some people look at a Monet and say \u201cit\u2019s just a bunch of dots, what\u2019s the point?\u201d  To each his own.  This is one of mine.<\/p>\n
