No. 13 Rushmore

The movie Rushmore is one of the strangest films I've ever seen. The main character Max Ficsher played by Jason Schwartzman is out of his mind. Somehow he manages to be the leader of many extracurricular activities, yet can't seem to manage a class. I can relate to him slightly because in the movie he uses his political sense's and his gifted speech as a way to get whatever he wants. I'm not saying i personally do this but if I ever needed to I'm pretty sure I can talk my way out of most things. Or in things for that matter. While reading a book in the library Max comes across a moving quote. This is the takeoff for the movie because he is introduced to a beautiful widowed teacher Miss Cross through the quote. Another character that soon comes into play is Mr.Blume. He is a smart steel tycoon with two children attending the same school as Max. Although they are his children i can't help but get the sense that he's not very fond of them. The way to movie flows is pretty rad. I can say i thoroughly enjoyed it because it seemed quiet effortless the way the characters developed and interacted with each other. The main characters are all quiet different but very similar in a certain aspect. Max Fischer is a gnarly guy. Him and Mr. Blume predictably vie for Miss Cross's attention one upping each other. I half expected the movie to take a turn for the worse after there was little to no character development left. Most movies fall flat after we find out about main characters and such, but this movie is different in more ways then one. I'd give it a 4 out of 5.
