The Wes Anderson Series - Moonrise Kingdom(2012)

"Hello Cap'n Sharp, this is Social Services"
This is the most recent show by Anderson, and it's:
Like his previous show, the main characters aren't adults, but a pair of 12 year old kids. Meet Sam Shakusky
 and Suzy Bishop
A pair of young lovers trying to elope. What probably is the most refreshing is that the kids are acting like grown ups here, unlike the rest of his shows. These kids don't throw tantrums or run around screaming, but they sit and think through it calmly, albeit innocently
And these are adults:
It's amazing how the behaivour of children and adults have been reversed,  especially when these are the effects of degratory behaivour of adults. One of the major scenes is the exchange of words with Bruce Willis and Tilda Swinton:
For all we know, Bruce Willis is a bona-fide action star. He runs, he shoots, he makes death defying leaps and he sweats uncomfortably at the prospect of having one of the boys staying in his precinct having been taken away by Social Services. Tilda Swinton just plays herself, just that her name got replaced into Social Services.

Also to add that a mere mention of her name sends the rest of the adults into a flurried panic. Also she dresses very well, a cute little hat with a sharp collared coat and nice pants. A pity that towards the final scenes, top half of the coat is only shown. Pfff.

We've come to the end of Anderson Series so far, his upcoming "Grand Budapest Hotel" releases in 2014. Looking forward to it then.
