I love how it’s never explained that one scene takes place on Halloween. You just have to deduce it. Storytelling elements without saying a word. I miss this era of Wes.
Max is now back on his A game . all he has to do is toss a copy of his play to his worst enemy and instantly converts him to a friend. the Max who could read people has returned
Loved this movie since it came out. It's perfect to me. Here after seeing a character I ALWAYS knew was familiar to me in 'Band of Brothers,' Moose Heyliger, and finally googling him. It's effing Buchan!
the best part is Magnus deep down wanted to play a role in theatre but never got the chance that's the brilliance of this character - untapped potential.
He really is. And since he doesn't actually grow up at the end of the movie (he stages a cutesy play, which is something he would have done at the beginning of the movie) he stays detestable along with the movie, which fails because of him. To make matters worse, this film would become a hit and influence other quirky, terrible, yet somehow critically acclaimed indie comedies to also have young protagonists who remain quirky and immature at the end of their films, like "Juno" and "Ruby Sparks."
A great moment in Rushmore regarding Magnus I never noticed until recently- when they are performing the final play, Max gets hit by accident for real by a bayonet, by one of the actors...Magnus yells out "Fischer!" and gives the guy who hit Max a full on fucking death stare, until he knows Max is okay. It's a really nice little moment that shows in their small way, they became friends.
it's pretty rare when a film's hero is such an obnoxious little creep that you feel like he DESERVES to be punched out by the school ape, as cringe-inducing as it is.
The actor's name is Stephen McCole. Check him out in a Glaswegian film called Orphans from 1998. Along with Rushmore, one of the best dark comedies ever.
I like your nurse’s uniform, guy.
Magnus is that guy in school you think about making freinds with but turns out to be a nasty bully you avoid every moment

I like how Dirk didn’t actually believe the rumor about his mom, he was mad that Max lied and tried to brag about it
it's Heaven and Hell by William Blake 🎉 Legends
"Hello Fischer ya spotty wee fucker"
Dennis the Menace at 2:00
Magnus would have been a good hockey fighter. Threw that mask down like a set of gloves and squared up.
..."Who sold you that CROCK?"..
Probably the only film in history with a real Scottish actor, that actually sounds Scottish and acts Scottish😂
He didn’t act very Scottish at one point. I mean, he punched max, a real Scotsman would have head butted him.
Love the interactions with Max and Magnus
That long pause before the kid says, "Max would never say that." Heartbreaking.
“Best play ever, man” - Mr. Littlejeans. To this day, my favorite movie ever.
"We got him, Dirk. We got him."
one time or another, We all knew a Magnus!
I like that kid that appears in almost every scene, even under water....
Bloody Jagyar!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that... Catsup?
William Blake
William Blake Kevin and hell
Biff 💪
Big show, no results.
Why is that angry Scottish man a student at an American boys' prep school? 🤣

You could tell he was jealous of max but in the end he just wanted to be his friend
I love that a random Scottish thug is going to an elite private school in Texas! Lol! Wtf?!

Take notes please.

Good one
"I've gotta hand it to you Magnus, you've got a way with words"
It was worth it
This movie was so good. I always try to mimic magnus, but just can't pull it off.
When I first watched the movie it left me pretty sad, but honestly more of these moments were funny than I had remembered.
What are you a lawyer!? 😂 😂 And "Is that Latin?" 😂 😂 Two of the funniest lines in a movie full of funny lines
They're OR scrubs... O R they? Best line in the movie without a doubt.

Was that Latin?
I saved Latin. What did you ever do?
Max Fischer, the most detestable protagonist ever.
He really is. And since he doesn't actually grow up at the end of the movie (he stages a cutesy play, which is something he would have done at the beginning of the movie) he stays detestable along with the movie, which fails because of him.

"Why don't ya just piss off Fischer ya dotty wee skid mark"

i love that about this too, and how honest they are with each other. "I always wanted to be in one of your fucking plays." Hilarious.
I love the fact that the protagonist is such a lousy fighter, haha!
Max is one of the crappiest protagonists in film history, but that's sort of the point--he thinks he can do anything, but can barely do anything.
@@wrs6565 yes, an overachiever who routinely comes up short, haha!
woah its the founder of the sexualwissenschaft!!!!! (dont look it up)
Wes must have felt so weird going back to his school to make his movie!
“Was that Latin?”
RIP Benny Harvey. Miss you big man.
I met Benny Harvey at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to Earth and VERY funny!
Also intelligent in a kind of way.
Which character is Benny Harvey
My exact type lol
note also that Max bikes past a "no weapons" sign right before encountering a kid with a knife.

In the theater everyone laughed when he got punched and manhandled by the teacher. Different time
Just another classic scene in a classic movie where every character in the story gets the chance to redeem themselves. I love this movie so much
