Recent Watch : Ghost World


One thing you will like about this movie is the way a medium of cinema is used to make a free comments on many issues that are bothering the director and he wants to share...
of American lifestyle, of perception of art and expression, about mass media and its result into mass consumption, of the vices of capitalism, of culture of shallow pursuits.

Story or plot revolves around the teenage-adolescence void and their yet to 'harden' and 'develop' social skills. But it is just a prop. The undercurrent is very strong and it is voiced when our "dork" record collector says.."Give them a big mac and a pair of Nike and they are happy"....

For Scarlett fans.. it is one of her subdued performance or a mere presence to show flip side of 'those who comply'.
