RUSHMORE REVIEW

RUSHMORE – WES ANDERSON

Max Fischer, a young and confused man who prioritizes everything in life but schoolwork, has a life-changing experience when he falls in love with 1st grade teacher, Miss Cross.
he does everything he can to impress her. When he “gets Latin back” he goes against what he himself believes in, for Miss Cross, as he hates Latin and calls it “a dead language”.
He soon finds out that his rich mentor, Mr Blume, is dating Miss Cross. This destroys their friendship by creating a “war”. As well as this, Max also has a young friend by the name of Dirk. Dirk always follows Max around and makes notes on Max’s ideas and plans.
When Max tells a school bully, just to sound tough, that Dirk’s mum has given him a hand-job, Max’s and Dirk’s friendship withers away.
I liked the ending since it was original but easily recognised from somewhere else. I gues you’ll just have to see for yourself.

I think every teenager can see themselves in Max in some way or another. Everyone falls in love at some point of their life. Unanswered love or if you’re lucky….
