Plot: What’s it about?
What can I possibly say about possibly the best reviwed film of the year??? Well, I guess I can add to the praise.
Rushmore is one of those movies that you “just have to see”, to really get (and while you’re at it, get ‘Bottle Rocket’). It’s the story of Max (Jason Schwartzman) who is very involved in extra curricular activities at school; so much so that he’s failing his classes. He meets Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams) and falls in love with her. Only problem is, he’s 15 and she’s not. Enter Bill Murray (Herman Blume). Herman is a graduate of Rushmore academy and also falls for Rosemary.
The two play a few practical jokes on one another, before realizing that Rosemary really does belong with Herman.
It’s really what you get in between all of this that makes this film great. The little things that make the difference. I love Wes Anderson’s style of directing, and it shows here. No more will be told. Rent (or take my suggestion and buy) the movie.
Video: How does it look?
Being a new movie and a new transfer, says that there should be no artifacts or elements whatsoever…they’re right. The picture is clear as day, despite not having a 16:9 enhancement. Nice.
Audio: How does it sound?
The nice thing about Dolby Digital 5.1 is that it can pretty much take any movie and make it sound awesome. Take this, for example, it’s mainly driven by plot and dialogue; yet manages to have excellent sound. Why can’t all movies be like this. There’s even some explosions and gunfire for your enjoyment (and your speakers)…
Supplements: What are the extras?
Trailer. That’s about it. Unless you count subtitles. Don’t get me started on a SE of this….
