Trailer for Moonrise Kingdom, Wes Anderson’s new movie (via audreyhepburncomplex)
My favorite scene from the movie. Blume at this time is just broken and defeated. He’s alienated from his family and his children are complete strangers to him. So in the middle of their birthday party, right after aimlessly chucking golf balls into the pool, he just says ‘screw it’ and checks out spectacularly- via cannonball into the pool. All set to the Kinks song “Nothing In This World Can Stop Me Worryin’ Bout That Girl.” (The title of the piece is a lyric from the song.) It’s such a perfect mesh of film, performance, and soundtrack- Murray’s expression as he sits at the bottom of the pool says it all. He doesn’t know how he got to where he is in life, and he wants out.
