Yes, I must admit, that was indeed for a film class that I took. But I thought it was pretty good, and worthy of being shared. Thanks for all the nice comments, and I can't believe I spelt analysis wrong!
Well I was sort of in a rush to get that up before I ran out the door.
I have to note though that Rushmore is perhaps my favourite film, and I never tire of seeing it. I've watched it at least 10 times and I never get sick of it. It's great to see we recognize it as a superb peice, despite certain nay-sayers, and that it has been seen by many.You don't get great stories like this anymore, it is a story about children young and old, and I can't find a single flaw in it.
Oh yeah, and Filmmaker, Rushmore makes Close Encounter of the Third Kind look like dog-food.
