My Rushmore

I just finished screening Rushmore, for the COMM 225 course I'm taking this semester, and I must say, I was awfully impressed. The film reminded me of a 90's version of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, particularly, the image of a witty high school student causing havoc in all the right ways. Embedded in the humor and strong personalities is a story of love and friendship—both old and young. One of my favorite parts of the film was the soundtrack, I really enjoyed the way the songs spoke volumes during certain scenes, one of which I've included below. I was impressed with Jason Schwartzman’s acting. I’ve previously seen him in Shopgirl and The Darjeeling Limited. I suppose my only disappointment was that Schwartzman’s character Max looked much older than fifteen, but by the middle of the film I was able to overlook that. I highly recommend this film!
