Rogueish

The other thing Moonrise Kingdom reminded me of was Halberstam on the heteronormativity of narratives of “growing up,” and her comments on Fantastic Mr Fox (which I haven’t seen):

As for the gender politics of wildness and domesticity, while this stop-motion animation marvel seems ultimately to reinforce the same old narrative of female domesticity and male wildness, in fact it tells a tall tale of masculine derring-do in order to offer up some very different forms of masculinity, collectivity, and family.
