Why People Like Moonrise Kingdom.

Great film. I think he’s right. Wes Anderson made a great film by accident, and despite his own proclivities.

Many of his films are good. But they never seem to exist in any sort of reality similar to our own. They are too clever by half.

Moonrise Kingdom is just clever enough. And it is charming without being cloying as all too many of Anderson’s films turn out to be. Lately I’ve been trying to be less clever myself. It only annoys people, including me.

That said I wonder why we choose to police each other so much. Probably relates to our evolutionary past. But no way to prove that. Would need a time machine.

I think Kimmy Schmidt from Tina Fey’s new show had the best reaction to that lately.
