Youthful

It's strange that CC company, which focuses on literary DVDs, will produce such a youth comedy, although it is more reliable than the rock. After learning about CC's preference for Wes Anderson, it suddenly became clear that while Anderson's Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic were still being produced, CC Corporation was tinkering with the corresponding DVD.

Director Wesley Wales Anderson was born in 1969 and is an American independent director a generation younger than Quentin. He attended a private school in Houston, and it was this life that was used as material for the creation of the film Rushmore. Rushmore is the name of a private school, where the protagonist Max is smart and precocious (checked it, 18-year-old and 15-year-old, it’s not too early), but his energy is invested in many hobbies and achievements. poor. In an accidental situation, he fell in love with a female teacher, Cross. As the story continues, Max’s year-end friend Herman (Bill Murray) is also very fond of Cross. Thus, the war between men broke out.

This is not a hilarious or romantic story, but it is full of youthfulness, even the old man Herman is like a child. Compared with other works, Bill Murray's performance here can't be regarded as wonderful, it can only be regarded as satisfactory. What impresses me the most about the movie is the wonderful soundtrack from beginning to end. Most of them are folk and rock from the 60s and 70s. The familiar Cat Setevens, the Kinks, the Who and some names I don’t know, they are all great, really of!

This is the first Anderson work I have seen. His 2004 new work, Life Aquatic, has been bought and has not been seen. People comment that most of his works contain many subtle things in them, and it takes a few times to see them before they can appreciate it. I guess I have no chance to discover this, I'm lazy. Another characteristic of his films is that the people in the play are kind, maybe they will mislead others to achieve their own goals, and some of them are not malicious. In his films, there is no opponent in the strict sense.
