Rushmore
USA / 1998

HERMAN BLUME: What’s the secret, Max?

MAX FISCHER: The secret?

HERMAN BLUME: Yeah, you seem to have it pretty figured out.

MAX FISCHER: The secret, I don’t know. I guess you’ve just gotta find something you love to do and then do it for the rest of your life. For me, it’s going to Rushmore.

At least once a year I’m beleaguered by a distressing kinship to Max Fischer – whose seemingly endless optimism is warped into an overly cynical disposition through the trials of adolescence – and I get the overwhelming feeling like the world is determined to destroy my Rushmore. I tend to find comfort in Wes Anderson’s peculiar private school. Usually this happens in the autumn months, but this year this sensation arrived in the spring.
