How to Be Max Fischer


Max Fischer (played by Jason Schwartzman in the film Rushmore (1998)) is quite the cool kid, in his own weird little way. Here's how to be more like him...which is what you want, right? Of course you do.

Step One: Dress the part. Max doesn't just look like he belongs at Rushmore Academy, he looks like he runs the place. Navy blazer, smart tie, red beret...it's a classic look. Apparently others have the same idea...click here for a whole bevy of Fischer-inspired outfits via Polyvore!
Okay, some of the outfits are in fact about MOUNT Rushmore, not the film. Whatever.

Step Two: Learn Latin! Or better yet, save it!

Step Three: Get involved! Max is the editor of the yearbook, publisher of the Yankee Review, president of the French Club, represents Russia in the Model United Nations, vice-president of the Stamp & Coin Club, captain of the debate team, manager of the lacrosse team, president of the Calligraphy Club, founder of the astronomy society, captain of the fencing team, participates in track and field, 2nd chorale choirmaster, founder of the bombardment society, is a yellow belt in kung fu club, founder of the Trap & Skeet Club, president of the Rushmore Beekeepers, founder of the Yankee Racers, and the director of the Max Fischer Players. What the hell are you doing with YOUR free time?

Step Four: Apologize and forgive. Max isn't perfect by any means, but he knows when he's been a jerk. He even offers a part in a play to his sworn enemy. What a guy!

Step Five: Be a badass. When you DO need to be a jerk, make sure you're a badass about it. You know what I'm talking about.



Remember: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.
