"We're in love. We just want to be together. What's wrong with that?"
Really, there's not much wrong with being in love. And how many couples every day find their relationships questioned by others and interrogated by those who have nothing to do with it? After the star-crossed lovers of Moonrise Kingdom are found by the adults and separated (which is basically the whole plot wrapped up for you in one sentence), Suzy's mum asks her daughter, "Why is everything so hard for you?" Suzy responds plainly with the above quote: and the honesty is inspiring to young lovers everywhere. Go, be free, and enjoy being in love. Anderson himself, on Moonrise Kingdom, said "When you're 11 or 12 years old, you can get so swept up in a book that you start to believe that the fantasy is reality. I think when you have a giant crush when you're in fifth grade, it becomes your whole world. It's like being underwater; everything is different".
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
