Even if I have Fisher in my heart, I can’t tell a story like Rushmore

It’s been a long time since I had a movie that made me think about taking screenshots. Every dialogue is very clever and interesting. The shots are very elegant. The actors don’t have to talk or just look at the face and feel that there is drama in their eyes.

Wes Anderson used a stereotype to highlight the nonsensical aspects of the story. The stereotyped portraits he gave to the characters really made people feel "just right." Only with ease can describe it, stereotyped and high-level fun.

Fisher looked a lot like Woody Allen, and it was unknown whether Wes Anderson borrowed his image or was Fisher himself. I think I am the kind of person who is like Fisher (romanticism, artistic life, advocating imagination and inspiration) (distinguish from the big guys), I know I like such people, but I’m not sure if I ever I have brushed aside with this kind of personage, because I obviously feel that I am pursuing hedonism every day, and I waste the time that I should enrich myself (playing games). Now I can’t do it even if I want to be romantic or artistic. , I have become a mediocre ordinary person I once looked down on. I didn't understand at all before, why those people were mediocre and boring, but they didn't want to change at all. Now I can understand, because they can't change at all. Imaginative people can find a way to get rid of mediocrity, but those who are stuck in daily life can't do it, they are completely "incapable." I think I am in a state where I am unable to be interesting.

After reading it, I feel that I am not romantic at all, and Wes Anderson is a truly romantic genius, unable to catch up with the aesthetics.
