Review of Rushmore (1998) by Arth J — 27 Jun 2018

A fast paced train that never derails..

Rushmore.

The symmetric world of Wes Anderson, is bang on bucks as it moves swiftly and keeps it to the point whilst depicting the characteristics of the characters and doesn't grow obvious or pretentious for a frame. The unresolved issues of the protagonist is what fuels this plot driven feature where its newer structure and unpredictable revelation is what keeps the audience engaged throughout the course of it where they are barely allow to breathe. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and background score but has got it right on its d.o.p. and editing. Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson keeps the amusing aspect of the characters alive throughout the course of it and addition to that Anderson's keen knowledge on executing an eerie world, favors in on huge margin. Jason Schwartzman is flat out hilarious on his role as a protagonist and is supported thoroughly by Bill Murray and Olivia Williams. The gripping screenplay and the space allotted to each character to fit in and flaunt their effective act, is what makes it dig deeper than its potential. Rushmore is a fast paced train that never derails from its tone but is also a long overcooked journey that can be off putting for some viewers.
