"Moonrise Kingdom" can be regarded as an eye-catching work in terms of composition and plot. It is like a collector's edition fairy tale book with beautiful binding that attracts people and constantly explores. It is just like that. Spread out in front of you, with bright and lovely colors, each page is rich and dazzling. The movie can be divided into upper and lower parts. In the first paragraph, Sam, an orphan who is seen as having an emotional disorder, meets Suzy, a troubled girl with violent tendencies, to run away. Sam escapes from the Ivanhoe Boy Scout camp, and Suzy sneaks away from the complicated family. The first paragraph of the story revolves around their past and the "hunting" of them by adults. Or, in the exact words of the scout camp managers, nonviolent rescue. Adults feel that two children are the source of all problems, and their job is to redeem these troubled children. The second segment of the film begins with two children being caught. On the surface, the adult rescue appeared to be a success. However, the children's quest for freedom and defection has not changed. Instead, the power seemed to spread gradually, creating a chemical reaction in many people. This time, the children of the entire Evanhoe camp began to defect. At the same time, adults began to help them, and the police tried to hide the whereabouts of the children from the heads of welfare agencies. Ultimately, the defection ended with a concession from the welfare agency and the adoption of the boy by the police. The whole film describes the redemption of the adults in their hearts when they try to redeem the defected children. During this process, the adults gradually let go of their selfishness and hypocrisy and begin to regain their ability to love and be loved.
