Another one of the films I found interested was the narrator’s number eight choice, Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore. Jason Schwartzman was phenomenal in this comedy.

He added his own charms and charisma to the movie that made it worth watching. Jason’s acting gave the film an electricity and charm that normal people would not be able to provide.

Throughout the film, she portrayed herself as a strong, no tolerance young girl who has strong determination to get revenge on the person who shot and killed her father. According to the book, many stars have distinctive attitude about them that makes them prefect for the role (Prince, 2013). With her natural beauty, grace and unique personality Halie definitely commanded the camera and was perfect for this
