Movie Reviews of Ghost WorldMovie Review: Wait, this isn't another pointless teen movie! Summary: 5 StarsWell I had heard that this was a good movie. I saw it for 4.99 and decided to get it. During the first 10 minutes I was almost sure I wouldn't like it. It seemed like your average movie made now a days. After a while though I got drawn in to the story. It is about two girls who are best friends. It is the day of their high school graduation. They are a lot alike. They are also planning on moving into a place together. So everything is fine and good. That is until some things happen that make them realize that they are both different people. Some of the things are one of the girls can not keep a job. So she has no money to pay rent. Also, the same girl starts talking to this guy she meets. She sees him selling records and finds out he is a neat guy. Things happen with him and her while her friends has a job and looks for a place to live. There is a lot more to the movie. But I'm not one to give away the story. So, buy it. You can find it so inexpensive. I usually sell movies when I am finished watching them. This one though was so good, it has found a place in my collection.
Also, the soundtrack is really good. It has some older blues stuff. So those who pay attention to that sort of thing, or music lovers. Will enjoy it for that reason as well.
Summary of Ghost WorldThora Birch (American Beauty) and Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation) "sneak into your heart and stay there" (Rolling Stone) in this "eerie, masterful movie" (Movieline) from the acclaimed director of Crumb. Co-starring Brad Renfro (Deuces Wild), Illeana Douglas (Stir of Echos) and Steve Buscemi (Fargo) in "the best role of his career" (Movieline), Ghost World is a "smartly strange comedy [that] stands out like the Taj Mahal" (Time)! While their classmates head for college, Enid (Birch) and Rebecca (Johansson) focus their energies on tormenting those around them - from a goofy convenience store clerk (Renfro) to an eccentric art teacher (Douglas). But when they zero in on an oddball loner (Buscemi) looking for Miss Right, their seemingly innocent meddling threatens to shatter one of their hearts not to mention their lifelong friendship. If you've ever felt alienated by the world around you, Ghost World will offer laughter, tears, and reassurance that you are definitely not alone. Adapted by Daniel Clowes and Crumb director Terry Zwigoff from Clowes's acclaimed graphic novel, the movie spends summer vacation with high school graduates Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Scarlet Johansson). They inflict little tortures on the denizens of urban sprawl, wielding scathing irony as a defense against a "ghost world" full of pop-cultural lemmings and uncertain futures. But when Enid picks a 40-ish vintage-record collector (Steve Buscemi) as the target of her latest cruel prank, she finds herself unexpectedly attracted to him ("he's the opposite of everything I completely hate") and is forced to confront her own crushing loneliness. This combination of deadpan sarcasm and deeply compassionate humanity makes Ghost World a rare and delicate comedy, with an ambiguous ending that suggests tragedy or hope, depending on your own point of view. --Jeff Shannon
