Scott Pilgrim vs The World
“Scott Pilgrim vs. The
World” the only movie that truly portrays the difficulties of having a
girlfriend.
By: Sofia Salad Farah
There are those movies that
make you feel old, awkward, and makes you ask the question why I don’t have
this moment in my life. But this movie has the opposite effect. The movie is
funny happy/sad, and we can relate so much with the feelings between Ramona
Flowers and Scott Pilgrim. It makes you feel at home, and in its world even
though the landscape is at first glance, and unfamiliar
It is 2010 in Toronto, Canada during a
very cold winter Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is an unemployed 23-year-old
bass guitarist in an up-and-coming garage rock band called “Sex Bob-omb” he is
dating a cute perky 17-year-old high school girl, Knives Chau (Ellen Wong). He
is having fun in life just rolling around until one day Ramona Flowers (Mary
Elizabeth Winstead) roller-blades into his life. Ramona moved to Toronto from
New York City to find peace and quiet and leave her past behind. No one knows
what her past is, but Scott will find out very soon as he tries to make Ramona
his new girlfriend. Before Scott can begin dating Ramona, he must prove himself
by defeating the league of her seven exes who controls her love life. They will
do anything to get rid of and destroy any new boyfriend Ramona may consider. If
Scott wants to find true love with Ramona, he must defeat all seven, before the
game is over.
Michael Cera the guy who Scott Pilgrims
character did a decent job in the very emotional scenes but it was like he was
a bit too sarcastic. I know he did that on purpose to show the movie in a
comedic but still he needed to portray his feeling a bit more. Mary Elizabeth Winstead she played Ramona Flowers I think
she portrayed her character extremely well because she showed she was a mysterious,
and somewhat depressed person through her voice, facial expressions, and body
movement. So the question you might be asking yourselves is “So who acted the
worst?” Okay so the worst actor was Ellen Wong who played Knives Chau her
acting was so bad a high monkey could’ve done better. She was too perky. She didn’t
was TOO clingy. She made teenage girls look like they were obsessed with tall sticks
which we call boys
The scenes that were funny was when Scott’s gay friends Wallace
whenever they were together it made everyone laugh. He was so unsupportive that
he made Scott laugh at himself. The scenes that were cool were when Scott would
have to fight the exes it used a perfect blend of comedy, and special effects.
The special effects were amazing. Snow was in every scene which would be
considered cool because they movie was filmed during the spring. Comedy was
used well because Scott would use his sarcasm to throw off the exes so he can
defeat them. I didn’t like how they were too much special effects and not enough
chemistry going with Scott, and Ramona.
The moral of this movie would be if you
love someone do whatever you can to keep her. Also don’t doubt yourself if your
different you can do it. To be honest this movie has no morals, it goes against
all my morals and value. The only thing I learned was that Pac Man was
originally from Tokyo, Japan and it is a horrible conversation starter
especially with a girl your in love with.
The group of people
who should watch this are young adults because the movie has a lot of rascist
jokes and sterotypes. Also the movie portrays different sexual orientations
that children aren’t familiar with it. Also a lot of inappropriate words being
used that people underage shouldn’t be hearing. This movie would be recommended
to older teens. The MPAA rating I would give this movie is PG 14. I think this
movie was funny but should had given a little more emotion. It was an intriguing picture for being so exotic and
eccentric, and for making itself with the style and structure of a videogame
rather than a film. The movie scenes had
series of game-levels and flavouring this sequence, not with the usual dramatic
reversals and character-development.
