20 years ago, the best Scarlett Johansson comic book movie gave us a messy, realistic, acerbic coming-of-age crisis. Here's nataliakeogan on Ghost World:
star Scarlett Johansson’s breakout film venture is the true coming-of-age celluloid comic:. As opposed to focusing on superhuman ability and surface-level feminism,’s main characters are listless, lewd and lonely—traits that bring Enid Coleslaw and her best friend Rebecca into the upper echelons of frankly defiant on-screen young womanhood.
Of course, Enid and Rebecca represent the conflict intrinsic to this transition from youth to adulthood—that of fearful clinging to one’s established comfort versus the desire to break free from the tired existence of adolescent aimlessness. This is also a dichotomy entrenched in Gen X despondency, empathetically employed by Zwigoff and co-writer Clowes.
Perhaps this is also why Enid is painfully uninterested in her remedial summer school art class until Seymour bestows upon her the controversial original poster for his employer Cook’s Chicken, once repugnantly called “Coon Chicken” with a minstrel-style caricature as a mascot.
