Bill Murray character

Is the Bill Murray character the same person as in Rushmore?

Are these bothers analogous to the three apostles?

Why was Owen Wilson's character (the one who invites them on the journey, and the who is 'damaged' the only one who doesn't get a 'gift'? - Brody received the gift of loving his child, Schwartzman received the gift of wanting more than sex.

Why is it that the only times (I recall) when the boys are actually, willingly, doing something together is when they're drinking (sweet lime, tea, alcohol)...could be wrong on this but that's what I recall.

Each of them seems to be running away from something and are surprised by the mother's actions of also making a promise and running from it.

Another very interesting existential-family relationships movie.
