In Reply to: Ghost World, just saw it. posted by edta on September 21, 2002 at 21:20:47:
I didn't like it when I first saw it in the theatre, but saw it again recently on cable and enjoyed it much more, mainly because the lead young woman didn't grate so much for some reason. The title? Don't know for sure if there was any mention or explanation of it in the dialogue? But, I'd presume it meant that the young ladies viewed the people around them as zombies. Ultimate isolationists, these pretty young thangs. Buscemi continues to amaze. Hard to believe the sensitive guy could have been played by the same artist who so skillfully portrayed the psycho in "Fargo."
Follow Ups:
Yes, Enid had to leave the Ghost World of the zombies. Too bad she couldn't find someone to leave with her. Now, was that ending happy or sad?Interesting to consider which of the characters had integrity or were not phonies. Enid, Seymour, who else? Seymour's friend? Maybe the guy at the bus stop. And what was the result of their integrity? They were considered losers. And what about that teenage thing about phonies? Was that a concern of all teenagers? Not portrayed like that and I don't remember it like that.
My wife didn't like it, said it was about nihilism. Well, it was in a way. We don't agree sometimes.
