unpopular

surprise! To all the cynic, sarcastic, high-spirited teenagers and young girls in adolescence, and to all the frustrated people who are out of place and look forward to recognition and hide in their own little world. Most were once Enid and ended up being Rebecca. When the corners are smoothed out, is it a reconciliation or a compromise? The old man finally waited for the bus, and Enid quietly left as a loser. Is it a kind of self-imposed exile? Finally, returning to this title, I thought it was a horror movie at first, but it turned out to be about loneliness and confrontation in youth. Perhaps, in the self-enclosed world, we only see ourselves, and the rest are ghosts. The film was unpopular, and I liked it a lot.

Ghost World quotes

  • [Enid is chatting to Rebecca who is working behind the counter at a coffee shop. An eccentrically dressed man in a motorized wheelchair comes up]

    Feldman, the Wheel Chair Guy: Excuse me... I can't read the trivia question.

    Enid: [reading out the daily trivia question on the blackboard she's been standing in front of] Where in the human body is the Douglas Pouch located?

    Feldman, the Wheel Chair Guy: Hah!

    [he starts using his laptop to find out the answer]

    Rebecca: [sighing] Oh, God.

    [she starts making his free cup of coffee for getting the correct answer]

    Feldman, the Wheel Chair Guy: Slightly below the uterus. On a female.

    [Rebecca hands him his coffee. He reverses his wheelchair and manouevers away]

    Enid: [giggles] Wow.

    Rebecca: He does that every single day.

  • Rebecca: [serving a woman a coffee] Can I get you a bis...

    Rude Coffee Customer: [curtly] No, I do not want a biscotti with that.

    [she takes her coffee and leaves]

    Enid: God! How can you stand all these assholes?

    Rebecca: Some people are OK, but mostly I just feel like poisoning everybody.

    Enid: Well, at the least the wheelchair guy is entertaining.

    Rebecca: He doesn't even need that wheelchair, he's just totally lazy.

    Enid: That rules!

    Rebecca: No, it really doesn't. You'll see, you get totally sick of all the creeps and losers and weirdos.

    Enid: But those are our people.

    Rebecca: [shrugs] Yeah, well...

    [Enid looks at her, slightly disheartened]
