I watched this for my film class!  I don't think my eyes would run across this movie- like ever if I wasn't watching this in film. Wes Anderson has an interesting style. His style is what makes his films interesting. The movie itself was quite anti-climatic.  I think Moonrise Kingdom film visuals enchanted the story. Yellow to me is playful and colorful but it holds boundaries. Yellow is very kid-like and honest. It also distracts us from the deeper meaning in the plot. As a kid when we get shut down, we start to act out, and our immediate feelings come to the surface as when we are an adult we start to hide those feelings a lot more..

The story is about two out of place adolescents who are misunderstood. They exchange graphic letters before running away. Their people try to find them. That's the gist of it. Sam and Suzy used honest words. They didn’t throw extra information at each other, they used how they feel in simple phrases. 

The adults didn’t talk about how they felt, even though their words were harsh and meaningful, they didn’t dig deep into the problem. (Surface level problems.)

Suzy wants to be free in a way of expression, but she doesn’t know how, and doesn’t understand why she is different. Mr.Bishop wants to be free of the bind he holds on his family. (He knows that his wife doesn’t exactly love him, he just wants her to say it out loud.) Mrs. Bishop wants to be free of honesty, the amount of guilt she holds. 

Sam wants to be free in a way a bird wants a home.  Captain Sharp wants to be free to love the woman he has always wanted.
