Wes Anderson is a director who has his own style of film making. That style is unique and amazing. Often, contradicting the cinematic rules.Rushmore is the high school where our hero studies. He is very smart and active in all the extra- curricular activities. He is excellent in everything except studies. In the school library, he finds a note in the book that he reads, that leads him to a teacher. They become friends. Later he gets attracted to her.Style of making is the most important factor in this movie. You are going to watch it for Wes Anderson style.#KiduMovie

Watching Max Fischer go through his bold and unorthodox escapades was fairly entertaining. He's clearly studied up on how to be professional and suave, but doesn't quite know when to employ these tactics. His word choice immediately stands out as unusual, but what is also remarkable is how unafraid he is to fail. His attempts to get in good with Rosemary are doomed from the start, but it takes him months of failing to finally give up on her. Maybe he's just an idiot for throwing himself at his goal headlong and humiliating himself over and over again.As seems to be the case in most Wes Anderson films, we get an odd protagonist that creates a strange reality for themselves. The surrealism of the movie really speaks to Anderson's directing work, because several scenes convey events that aren't that strange in themselves but they feel a odd because of how they are presented. Magnus, Rosemary, and Dirk are good examples of this because they behave pretty normally for the most part, but we see them through Max's warped and stylized vision.Most of the movie consists of Herman Blume and Max fighting over Rosemary, sometimes thwarting the other's efforts to win her and sometimes assisting the other. These scenes said a lot about Herman with the childish nature that he and Max fight with. For Max to sabotage Herman is not exactly acceptable, but it is at least understandable since Max is at a clear disadvantage in this war; but for Herman to stoop to the same level is beyond immature. However, it cannot be denied that both characters are willing to have goals. This seems to be a point that Wes Anderson likes to insinuate in his work: going after your goals may have disastrous results and may cause you to do some bad things, but it is better than living without a purpose and being boring. I don't know that I fully agree with this, but it's worth thinking about.The craft that is displayed in this film is decent, but has definite room for improvement. The dialogue and content of each scene was good, but I didn't like the pacing. That may just be a personal thing, but sometimes it seemed like the story lacked direction. The style was cool, though it's clear that Anderson had not fully developed his technique at this point in his career. The acting was solid all around.This is good to watch if you're really interested in Anderson's techniques or if you want to study some good acting. I saw this at a screen writing workshop as part of an exercise in structure. Within the class it was educational, but it may not be the best resource for aspiring writers. For those just viewing for enjoyment, this isn't anything that you'll get a lot out of, but if you come across it, it's worth a try. Overall Rating: 6.9/10

Wes Anderson's second feature film continues with his off kilter style with a twist of French New Wave cinema.Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is a 15 year old student who managed to get into an elite primary school, Rushmore but spends all his time on extracurricular activities than actual studying much to the chagrin of the headmaster Dr Guggenheim who is concerned about his grades.Herman Blume (Bill Murray) is an industrialist wit an unhappy marriage, twin sons who cannot abide him and befriends Max. Both fall out over Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams) a widowed teacher who arrives at Rushmore as a teacher. Max becomes infatuated with her and Blume starts to date her.There are times you actually feel like slapping Max as he comes across as obnoxious. I kept forgetting he is only 15 years old. Max is a person who has intellect, ability but lacks the emotional maturity that comes with age. He slowly realises how rude he has been to people around him and decides to make amends.The screenplay by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson has plenty of offbeat moments underlined with a dark melancholy which we experience in Bill Murray's face but it is not always consistent. However this film marks out Anderson as a talent to watch.

Wes Anderson's "Rushmore" is a a fun comedy with heart at the center. Co-written by Owen Wilson and staring Jason Schwartzman, the trio collaborates great and all seem to be coming from a similar frame of mind. Bill Murray and Olivia Williams are also both outstanding in supporting roles. The dialog is witty and at times very true to life. This fun, coming of age story about a preppy kid dealing with the trials and tribulations of adolescence is a must see for the indie film lover.eight out of ten stars
