I Saved Latin. What Did You Ever Do?

I ordered a book on Amazon today that's on film studies and I'm actually super pumped to get it. I think if I go to a university I could do something with film. It's a topic I've been more and more interested in since last year, but I don't know if I'd be good at it and that's weirdly scary to me because I hate to be bad at things.

In celebration of this small purchase I'm doing my favorite stills from my favorite Wes Anderson movies. I think Wes has an amazing creative mind. He was the first director to make me realize how carefully constructed every aspect of a film is, especially cinematography from the blatant symmetry in his shots and color palettes for each of his movies. For my film class two years ago a group of my friends and I recreated the most memorable scenes from Moonrise Kingdom and it was both hilarious and ridiculous. Basically, I know he's not technically the best director/writer out there but his films will always be some of my favorites because they mean a lot to me, and all of them are at the least very good.

Rushmore (1998)
This is my personal Anderson favorite and in general one of my all-time favorites, anyway. This was his first film shot in anamorphic widescreen format 2.35:1 used in most of his later films. It's also Jason Schwartzman's film debut.
