    The thing that attracted Bill Murray to Wes Anderson, outside of how precise the script was, was the thing that in many ways defines the heart of all Wes Anderson's films. That despite our many flaws, like deception, envy and selfishness, and our perception of those things in others, as well as the bad behaviour we're capable of thanks to things like sadness and grief, we still have the capacity for immense kindness.

    I regret not seeing 'Rushmore' when it came out. I was EXACTLY like Max when I was in HS (I was 16 in 1999)--right down to the poor grades due to focusing intently on hobbies--and seeing the movie might've helped me not feel so alone during that time.
    Instead, I only saw it last year, almost 20 years after it came out. Even though my teen years are long-gone, it still impacted me TREMENDOUSLY, and its the only film that made me nostalgic for my high school years.
    OK so maybe I don't regret not seeing it in theaters that much; I could appreciate it more seeing it first as an older man.

    To look at this now, at a 20 year remove, and think about the amazing body of work that Wes Anderson has created, with Bill Murray there, in some way, every step. Whether he's front and centre as Steve Zissou, racing to make it on board the Darjeeling Limited, fretting over his "very troubled" runaway daughter or aiding and abetting M. Gustave in his capacity as a member of the Society of the Crossed Keys, Bill has been there.

    This film was a joy! Initially, I thought WTH? Then, as I stuck with it, I loved Max. Where I typically despise precocious teens, I have to admire Max's confidence, and his ability to bounce back. He was likable. Upon later viewing, I notice more and more nuances to his expressions. Fabulous supporting cast; I can watch Bill Murray read the phone book. I don't know how Anderson is able to flesh out his characters in such a short time, not only that, but make me care about them. A cinematic DELIGHT!

    Rushmore remains my favorite movie of all time. Not because I think it is the best movie ever, nor is it something I insist others "must see!" But I just have a deeper personal relationship with this film than any other - it has been my favorite movie for more than two decades now and I don't think that will ever change. The style, the sense of humor, the brilliant soundtrack, the characters and their performance and . . . Max. This work gives me true joy and I will forever hold Wes, Owen, Jason, Bill, and the rest of those who made it in the highest regard for giving me that gift.

    film resonates with me largely because of Margaret Yang and similar experiences with girls in school. One example is elementary school where my friends told me a girl had a crush on me but I hadn't gone through puberty yet so I faked being in love to not hurt her feelings and eventually just outright told her I only dated her because I felt pressured and she ran off crying. Yang's line "you know you were a real jerk to me" hits close to home.
