That was an excellent one.
Really Surprised!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
RushmoreThe symmetric world of Wes Anderson, is bang on bucks as it moves swiftly and keeps it to the point whilst depicting the characteristics of the characters and doesn't grow obvious or pretentious for a frame. The unresolved issues of the protagonist is what fuels this plot driven feature where its newer structure and unpredictable revelation is what keeps the audience engaged throughout the course of it where they are barely allow to breathe. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and background score but has got it right on its d.o.p. and editing. Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson keeps the amusing aspect of the characters alive throughout the course of it and addition to that Anderson's keen knowledge on executing an eerie world, favors in on huge margin. Jason Schwartzman is flat out hilarious on his role as a protagonist and is supported thoroughly by Bill Murray and Olivia Williams. The gripping screenplay and the space allotted to each character to fit in and flaunt their effective act, is what makes it dig deeper than its potential. Rushmore is a fast paced train that never derails from its tone but is also a long overcooked journey that can be off putting for some viewers.
...and I will fight you if you disagree. Full of heart as well as quirk, and before that quirkiness became self conscious. Funny surprising and gorgeous.
A young teen who is more interested in the extra-cirruclar activities than the actual cirruclar learning required. Wes Anderson the director comes together with Owen Wilson to show us a film about friendship, love, and what is it like to be a youth at Rushmore academy. A film with a very different feel that will leave you loving the flaws that each of us has and how we can use the things we love to accomplish many great things. I would recommend this movie to others and I encourage you to watch the other films by Wes Anderson.
one of Wes Anderson's earlier films named Rushmore presents the life and struggles of a 15 year old prodigy Max. This is where I found the first downside of the film - Jason Schwarzman's Max disappointed me. I did not feel any empathy towards this character. Thus I found no connection with him. In my opinion he was too unpredictable and at times even irritating. Bill Murray was great in this movie. Loved every second of his screen time. He pulled of a fine performance and impersonated a hilarious and complicated character. A had an issue with the visuals. I am a huge admirer of W. Anderson work and style I can assume that back in 1998 this style was not fully developed yet contains similarity to his other films. The range of colors used in Rushmore is wider compared to Moonrise Kingdom or even The Royal Tenenbaums and that I did not enjoy. I watch this director's films without searching for realism but at times this film seems to be too serious and at times so childish and audience members get confused. In conclusion Rushmore is a enjoyable and fun film to watch yet it did not affect me emotionally like other Anderson's films do so greatly.
