...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.

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.

This is not a "coming of age" story. It is a story about a kid being a brat that thinks he is entitled to do whatever he wants to do. It is about a teenage boy and an adult teacher behaving badly. "Coming of age" implies it is typical behavior but the boy's behavior is not typical.There is not much romance or anything like that. I won't spoil the story by saying what it is but it is not romance.It has moments; I like it when the characters are totally honest, not to be mean but just to be honest.It does move slowly at times.It does however mellow out toward the end. If the rest of the movie were as mellow as the end then the movie would be better. I would have liked it better and I think more people would also have liked it more.

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
