Scott Pilgrim VS. The World

“Scott Pilgrim VS. The World” is a great movie for someone who likes comic books and video games. It’s a movie that is not only comedic, but perfectly touches on the awkwardness of life. The best part of the film is the post production. This movie was not only edited to create the film, but also to create a video game feel. Essentially what makes this film so unique and interesting is that it is very unrealistic and well if you haven’t seen it you should. Examples of the humor of the film is that they will have words appear on the screen when words are said or emotions are felt. This is an example of how this film looks. It’s obviously strongly influenced by video games. This is another example of how the film brings in “cartoon” type things and make them real world. The acknowledgement of the black bar on her mouth is funny because it’s something added in post production, but in this movie it’s supposed to actually seem like it’s real. The editing keeps the movie moving and constantly changing. Every transition between settings is spotless. The scenes move quickly because it’s constantly cutting between shots. This gives the effect of how this is an action movie in a technical sense. There are many fight scenes within the movie for example this one. It cuts between shots much as any action film would. But it’s done so by also adding outrageous effects in both sounds and visually. Like the sparks that fly when the weapons hit, and the sound it makes are unrealistic in the best kind of way. There is also this fight scene which includes a lot of editing effects. All of the slow motion and fast cuts mixing creates an intensely interesting effect. By combining the opposites the mind is forced to focus more so, it’s engaging. Also this movie resembles the way Anime’s are made. Anime’s are a Japanese cartoon movie style that when there is fig hint includes a lot of cuts. They like to dramatically zoom into weapons and certain parts of a scene to create emphasis and drama. They like to zoom into characters as well. This scene has a close up of the faces, the foot being caught, and them unsheathing their weapons. This is done because this movie is based on a comic while also trying to follow the video game feel. Anime is closely related to comics and to video games since they’re all the sam principle and follow the same rules. Also the fact that when he’s thinking there is a needle the appears in his brain pointing from not understanding do understanding is hilarious, and its the little things like that in this movie that make it so great.
