Rushmore

An odd love story, love triangle. Some of the best characters I've seen in film. A top 25 all time favorite and one we will return to.

Wes Anderson crushes here. He and Owen Wilson wrote a great script with a great midpoint, one spot on for a love triangle. The two friends are pitted against each other as the truth comes out; they are both in love with the same woman. We lose our lead on Max in terms of story info, dramatic irony. We are united again in that sense, and it feels good. He's an awesome character to team with.

It's a standout scene, moment, with a specific line of dialogue that lands perfectly, fitting for all. A dig, a declaration, a piece of his love that's only his, a challenge. "I saved Latin. What did you ever do?"

Be well.
