Rushmore


Wonderful. Remarkable use of music too. Better than the other two Wes Anderson films I’ve seen (much better than The Life Aquatic).

It got me thinking about a post I had once planned to write, linking Bruce Springsteen’s paean’s to ordinariness with Charles Taylor’s ‘Sources of the Self’ argument about the sacralisation of ordinary life after the Reformation. That was what I took from this – the marvellous nature of an ordinary life.
