What Moonrise Kingdom taught me

Two days ago my mom took me to see Moonrise Kingdom.

It's a beautiful film with great music. Loved the storyline and the humor, though it totally fails the Bechdel test and has no POC in it (there was one Asian boy sitting in the background. *sigh*).

Anyways, as Suzi and Sam run away and are absorbed in their own struggles, the plot progresses and reveals that each of the adults has their own issues too. Like, major issues.

I'm not good at reading critically and analyzing media and whatnot, but I do enjoy it. I've learned that maybe your crazy childish fantasies aren't that crazy at all when the adults around you have totally fucked up problems too.
