Q: i know it already opened in december , but i finally got around to seeing rushmore last weekend , and it was one of those rare oppritunites that i got to leave the theatre feeling proud about paying the expensive ticket price .
as the final scene closed out in happy slow - mo fashion ,
i felt happy to have been priveleged enough to watch such a good display of filmmaking .
jason schwartzman , his face oddly intriguing behind those large braces and glasses , steals the show as max fischer , the most well known rushmore academy student who gets terrible grades , but compensates for it by organizing most of the school 's clubs and organizations ( i .
e .
the fencing team and writing and producing school plays ) and often pulling outrageous stunts , one that eventually earns him an expulsion .
this stunt , building an aquarium on the school 's baseball diamond , is a plot to steal the heart of widowed elementary teacher rosemary cross ( olivia williams ) .
he funds this aquarium with the help of millionare herman blume ( a very oscarworthy bill murray ) , who eventually finds himself falling in love with miss cross .
rosemary and herman begin dating - and the fun begins ; herman and max go at it head to head in a battle for miss cross .
herman manages to destroy max 's bike , while max cuts herman 's brakes , and it goes on like this .
but eventually max realizes he is too young for miss cross , and he ca n't stand in the way of two people in love .
the academy of arts & sciences really messed up this year ; they completely overlooked rushmore ( and , if you ask me , it was n't an accident ) .
it maybe was n't best picture material , but it certainly deserved a screenplay nod ( instead of elizabeth ) , and bill murray 's absense from the ballot is a complete snub .
the entire mood of the film is one reason
it is so good
; at one point it 's fun , and the next scene can turn serious and dramatic .
the cinematography gives the movie an important feeling , as well .
i hope rushmore can overcome its ' oscar snubs , and be enjoyed by intelligent film goers .
