On an isle of New England's shore,
A tale of love and youth does pour,
In Moonrise Kingdom, a film so fine,
Wes Anderson's touch, a style divine.
With Sam and Suzy, young hearts aglow,
Their puppy love, a story to bestow,
They flee their homes, with hearts so bright,
And navigate life, with all its plight.
The Khaki Scouts, a backdrop for their tale,
A cast of quirky characters, without fail,
Bruce Willis shines, as Captain Sharp so dear,
A bumbling chief, with a heart so clear.
The film's charm, a delicate, whimsical dance,
A homage to greats, a cinematic prance,
From Malick to Kubrick, nods so fine and true,
Anderson's love for film, forever shining through.
At 94 minutes, the story's pace is just right,
Engaging and concise, a delightful, cinematic sight,
But some may question, the ending's convenient sway,
A sacrifice of substance, for style's sake, each day.
Anderson's aesthetic, a double-edged sword,
Clever and artsy, yet sometimes, emotional resonance is scarred,
The film's coherence, a balance hard to maintain,
A delicate tightrope, between style and heart's deep pain.
Still, Moonrise Kingdom, a satisfying film does stand,
Recommended to all, not just Anderson's devoted band,
A story of young love, with innocence so bright,
A cinematic gem, that shines with delight.
