It was political reporter K Kuppuswamy who first drew my attention to the movie by recounting a dialgoue by Bill Murray's character: She is my Rushmore, in order to explain something from his past. Rushmore is a funny movie, in which Jason Schwartzman makes his (rather, impressive) debut as Max Fischer, a talented rebellious student of Rushmore Academy. Things get a bit messy, when his best friend, a rich business man (played by Bill Murray), meets the subject of Max's student fantasy: his high school teacher.
The movie was apparently a turning point in Bill Murray's acting career: and I suppose provided the inspiration to specialise in portaying a man's tragic midlife existence. Wes Anderson and Bill Murray owe one each to the other and thats why I suppose they still link up. Neat soundtrack, as it pretty much does in a Wes Anderson movie. A simple movie, yet feels nicely complete.

This is indeed a orey funny movie. I too was drawn to it by the "She is my Rushmore" dialog spouted by "One night stand relationship" expert Mr. Zen.
ok then, it should have been 'she is one of my rushmores' in that case
on further thought, its probably the Mt. Rushmore that he is talking about..hahaha
