Surrogate Family

I think Ed Norton is really onto something here:

"I've come to think that a lot of Wes' movies are about the same thing, which is maybe people struggling with the way that the family that you're born into fails you or you don't have the family that you want, so you go and create the family that you need. So many of the characters in Wes' movies are essentially creating alternative communities that support them. I think there's something really sweet in that idea."

So who's your surrogate family? Yeah, you.

And oh by the way, Moonrise Kingdom was filmed in Jamestown, Rhode Island, where I resided for a year.
