| HI :DDD |
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a 2010 comedy film, directed
by Edgar Wright. It is based on the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim by Bryan
Lee O'Malley. The movie film is all about a slacker musician, Scott
Pilgrim, who have to defeat or battle
against his girlfriend, Ramona Flowers, seven evil exes. He play the bass in
his musical band named Sex Bob-Omb. Before he know Ramona, he started a
relationship with a Chinese girl, Knives Chau, and also having two exes, Kim
and Envy as known as Natalie. He encountered Ramona in his dream, soon he
starts off his relationship with her in a short period of time without telling
Knives. As days go by, he met the seven exes of Ramona, who are Matthew Patel,
Lucas Lee, Todd Ingram, Roxy Richter, Katayanagi Twins and Gideon Graves, in
which he should defeat them one by one in the moment he be with Ramona. Regardless
of his nerdy look and personality, he fought the exes successfully. During the
progress of battling against Ramona's exes, Scott broke up with Knives, yet Knives
keep getting his notice after that. He was also dumped by Ramona later. He died
once in the last fight with Gideon, aka G-Man, but he regain his life and
defeated Gideon. In the end, Knives regret to get Scoot back to her side, and
the relationship between Ramona and Scott is back to the line again.
In the
midst of watching Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, compared to the plot and the
characters, the overall editing and effects in the movie are very on point. Even
though this film shows too much unrealistic and repetitive combats, there are
scenes I gave an eye on them and appreciated the film work. There are
two scenes that i favor the most. The first scene that attracts my attention is
the scene where Scott battle against Ramona's first evil ex, Matthew Patel. The
fight happened in a local club, and it started during Sex Bob-Omb's performance
for the musical band tournament. Matthew Patel bashed from the roof of the club
and started his fight with Scott, even though Scott was still confused and had
no clue about what he encountered. Matthew explained everything and soon, Scott
realized the guy he faced with was Ramona's first ex. Later on, a combat
started. Matthew also summoned his Demon Hipster Chicks during the fight, yet
Scott still defeated them by throwing a cymbal towards the "chicks" and
punched Matthew on his face. In this scene, the lighting effect in the scene is
more noticeable compared to other scenes in the movie film. When Matthew bashed
into the club, the angle is good enough to show good spotlights in the scene.
Besides, the animation effects where can be seen in the summon of Demon Hipster
Chicks and the power unleashed by Matthew are also another point that attracts
me the most.
Other
than this scene, the another scene I like among others will be the scene where
Sex Bob-Omb meet up with Katayanagi Twins. After defeated Roxie, the 4th ex of
Ramona's, Scott had to battle Katayanagi Twins at the same time, which are
Ramona's 5th and 6th ex. This had become a stress to Scott, since the twins are
not just two of the evil exes league, but they are also Sex Bob-Omb's opponent
in the music tournament. In the
tournament which can be meant as the combat between Sex Bob-Omb and The
Katayanagi Twins, the twins took on Scott and his music band as dual keyboard
players. They even summoned two gigantic dragons when they played their
keyboards. At first, they took down the tournament, but Scott and his band are
determined enough to fight back by summoning a Yeti out of their performance.
Lastly, Sex Bob-Omb won the tournament and at the same time, Scott had cleared
the 5th and 6th ex of Ramona's. With enough points, Scott was able to earn an
extra life. In my opinion, I like this scene was mostly because of its
different way to battle the evil exes league. They battle against each other by
playing music and without any physical attacks. The setting and the crowd are
good enough to describe the intense yet nervous condition. Moreover, the
animation in the scene has no doubt to be the most fascinating animation work
in this film. The mix of real human acts and animation are perfect enough to
resemble the fight, and it is not confusing to watched. Even though the combat
with Katayanagi Twins is the shortest combat among all fights, but the summoned
Dragons and Yeti is always noticeable by other audiences as this scene is
special enough to catch the audiences' attentions.
:::TO CONCLUDE...:::
As a conclusion,
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is well- directed by Edgar Wright because of its
special concept of movie, which is shown like a tournament game film, along
with good edited scenes and clean animations. Though the combats between Scott
Pilgrim and the Evil Exes League are quite repetitive, the characters are well
constructed with different personalities and looks (plus the fighting method of
each battle too!). It may not suit every audiences' tastes, but overall, it is
a movie I will suggest to my other friends, as it is unique compared to others.
If you are a fan of combat games, this will definitely be a choice for you to spend your time!
