I did want to written down a few lines though after seeing Moonrise Kingdom couple weeks ago with another big Anderson fans. My first Wes Anderson experience was Rushmore, which struck me as totally bizarre and eccentric. I didn't quite understand his being so emphatic about portraying the ambiguity of child and adult. In Moonrise, Sam and Suzy came from a scout group (highly disciplined) and large suburban family (supposedly perfect) respectively, where subversion cannot be a more logical reaction. Though awkwardly mature, they are still spoken through a child's honesty.
Plus, Anderson's patent for shooting mid 60s setting is automatic.
I like how Suzy carries a cat around as a necessity.
