So lucky that Wes Anderson got to work with Twitter’s most critically acclaimed Indiana Jones shitposter. Always follow your dreams Wes 🙏🏻

Ok I am outing myself as ignorant, but what is this in reference to? The interviewer talks shit about Wes Anderson on Twitter?

[@PeterPing]

​@@gregoryandrus5322 He's probably talking about Jared.

???????

[@bella-mj3xq]

someone please explain this lmfao

[@isa888bit]

Fun fact: You can find these two together in the movie Paterson (4 years after Moonrise) as a couple on the bus Paterson drives. I like to imagine they're playing the same characters again but as teenagers.

Man this Jared Gilman kid sure is great, he should be in more things

[@oooh19]

Agreed! He was a cutie as well

[@YoRocky89]

I watched this movie back in 2012 on my flight home from London, England. This movie was definitely a highlight of my trip and I'm glad to see it's still holding up well.

[@JustGersie]

I wish Jared Gilman appeared in more mainstream films. He and Kara are so talented.

[@obedthejusticeschultz]

Love Mac, RIP🕊️

[@tiagocosmos]

Seeing them all grown up makes me emotional. This has been my favorite Wes Anderson film for many years now (it unseated The Royal Tenenbaums which is no2 tied for second with The Grand Budapest Hotel and The French Dispatch). I'm a huge WA fan and this movie means a lot to me.

[@rike94]

what a crybaby

[@BigAlvideos101]

So you like a film with blatant child exploitation? What a sicko. You should be in prison.

[@blackcatt24]

I agree! This one just speaks to me. Fantastic Mr. Fox is my 2nd. We need to ignore the haters on here. Apparently they have nothing better to do.

[@movielover828]

"Moonrise Kingdom" took me by surprise when I first saw it when I was 16 years old. Kudos to the two young lead stars did an outstanding job on working with the all-star cast who play as concerned and frantic adults in the film.✨️💯

Kara had a small part in Isle of Dogs, but idk what Jared's up to

[@denisefreitas6727]

@@senoj.rednaxela yes, i know that. What about a movie telling the lives of Suzy & Sam? It would be cool!

[@gregoryandrus5322]

@@denisefreitas6727 That's a fantastic idea!

[@darkshadowgamingii]

I know Wes isn’t a fan of war movies but Imagine a movie set in 1976 (11 years after moonrise kingdom) where Sam (Jared gillman) and Suzy (Kara hayward) reunited after Sam was drafted for Vietnam war i mean he was a scout so it would be great even if its not a Wes anderson movie But again this would be almost impossible so just imagine but i think it would be great!

[@BigAlvideos101]

So, one of your favorite movies has vile, disgusting child exploitation in it? You should be ashamed.

[@timy9197]

I have no idea why this reunion happened but I’m happy it did

[@MrXabungle]

Jared Gilman said this was technically a ten year reunion but it held off for a year to likely coincide with the release of Asteroid City.

[@nms7872]

That guy is a legend in the Film Twitter shitposting community Finally saw this movie in the build up to Asteroid City.

[@damonr.1098]

I have a soft spot for this movie ever since I first saw it on cable. It still is enjoyable.

[@darkshadowgamingii]

The reunion we always wanted and always deserved

[@charliepanayiotou4305]

Terrific film and as mentioned by many here it was fun when they both appeared in Paterson. I remember watching Manchester by the Sea back in early 2017 and seeing the end credits and thinking 'wait, that was Suzy from Moonrise Kingdom?' and then a few years ago re-watching Moonrise Kingdom and seeing the opening credits and thinking 'wait, Lucas Hedges is in this?'

[@65g4]

still my favorite Wes Anderson film it really touched my soul. Ive really got to love Anderson more and more over the years after rewatching all his films on criterion and reading all about his influences in a book about Grand Budapest Hotel. I pretty much worship the ground he walks on and i can't wait to see his new film

[@BigAlvideos101]

Really? Liking a film that has blatant CHILD EXPLOITATION in it? You sicken me.

[@JuiceFlicks]

Great interview! I like to think their scene together on the bus in Paterson is a spiritual sequel to their characters from Moonrise Kingdom

[@visions_of_noah]

Whaat they’re in Paterson? Gotta find that scene.

[@dfreems]

I was a little disappointed that wasn’t brought up during the interview.

[@xaviconde]

Well it would have killed the reunion vibe.

[@RebelScum312]

really awesome reunion interview, so may aww moments, she kept the stationary & the cat & let him adopt her dad! love this movie so so much, last great wes anderson story & i hope he can get back even just 1% of the magic of moonrise kingdom again someday. know that it's probably an unpopular opinion & it's just my opinion & viewpoint, but think that while i understand he wants to show that ugly realities are a part of life, he's flipped back to the royal tennenbaums approach & let that mindset dominate the entire landscape. moonrise is extremely special & poetic, maybe there'll never be another one like it that can touch your heart & make you believe in something so fierce & strong as the look in suzie's eyes in the field when she meets sam on the island & they lock gazes. it's sad that they can't watch it yet & realize how incredible they were in the film at a very young age, but relatable, not many people want to see or hear themselves. loved their thoughts on future suzie & sam & the writer & artist team is spot on. haven't seen jared in much but kara is one of my favorite actresses & a real warm person. thank you for posting this talk with them! 🌔🏖🌓⛺🌗🏕🌖📚🌕💗🙌🙏

[@BigAlvideos101]

If this vile, disgusting film that is full of child exploitation is truly one of your favorites, then you should be in a mental institution- or better yet- prison.

[@birdjacobs]

That seems to be the argument that most haters of this movie make, but literally everyone was on board with it, the parents and the child actors, portraying a innocent love story that should be appreciated within context. That being said I do remember the beach dancing scene being a bit weird when I first saw it, but then I got over it. If the movie was truly such a disgusting piece of filth like you said, I’m sure the actors won’t feel comfortable having this reunion either, so chill out
