黐孖妹, 青春迷魂阵, 판타스틱 소녀백서, Ghost World - Aprendendo a Viver
"Dear Josh, we came by to fuck you, but you were not home. Therefore you are gay. Signed, Tiffany and Amber."
“medium? why sir, do you not know that for a mere 25 cents more you can purchase a large beverage? and you know, i’m only telling you this because we’re such good friends. medium is really only for suckers who don’t know the concept of value”
"oh my god, he just ordered a giant glass of milk."
"that's a vanilla milkshake."
You can take your Juno, your Scott Pilgrim, even your Heathers, and chuck them in a skip, because Ghost World just does it all so much better. Well, all of it that's worth doing. I'm beginning to think this melancholy, bitingly hilarious crystallisation of teen ennui might be the only film I'll ever really need.
scarjo saying “he gives me, like, a total boner” in her deep, monotone voice got me feeling some time of way. love her lack of energy, go girl give us nothing
there was a moment in this movie where i found steve buscemi attractive for about seven seconds and i will never be the same again.
why does the scene with steve buscemi eating chicken have better sound editing than like 75% of the movie? i’m hearing that chicken chewing in hd.
Way too relatable because I also developed a crush on Steve Buscemi at an inappropriate age.
Every scene with the nunchuk guy at the convenience store was better than all of the other scenes combined. Thora Birch in her green hair and leather jacket was better than all of the other outfits combined.
The sincere uncertainty of being an outcast in a constant changing world.
What I loved the most about Ghost World was the inmost approach into the perception of a ‘misunderstood’ character. It’s not just about feeling different. It’s not just about feeling like an unfitting piece in a jigsaw puzzle.
The thing about the unconventional character arc is that most narratives focus on the contrast between them and the observing crowd, rather than stepping inside the ‘outcast’ viewpoint to fully understand the character in question.
Enid strives to be recognized as unique, she shows her disdain to the contemporaneous ideal teenager way of living and is constantly changing her style to remark that she doesn’t identify herself with them. She…
the first half of the movie i was unsure of how i felt; i mean it had had good lines and interestingly bland characters but something about it wasn't sitting right with me. it felt incidentally perverted and 'groomy' to me , it wasnt until the second half that something became obviously glaring to me, which is that, he really wasnt abusing or using her, she really was the one doing it to him. and i liked that.
I don’t know if I have become a harsher reviewer or if that the films I have been watching lately have been generally worse, but I have noticed that I have been giving much lower star ratings to the films that I have watched recently. Anyways, I liked some aspects of this film, but I felt like it got worse as it went on. I feel like it is very unique and has its own non-cookie-cutter style. It is basically just a very quippy 2000s film in the best way possible. For the most part, I felt like it did a good job at creating an ironic tone, through the dialogue in the script and the almost sarcastic performances. However,…
