“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” is a modern classic film that bursts audience expectations with its original approach and stunning energy. Director Edgar Wright took the comic book Brian Lee O'Malley and created a frenzied mix of genres, including romantic comedy, action and fantasy.
The plot of the film describes the life of Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), a humble musician who falls in love with a girl Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), but is forced to defeat her seven ex-girlfriends to win her heart. Against this background, the film explores themes of love, jealousy, acceptance of one’s destiny and self-esteem.
The cast of the film is great. Michael Cera is a great fit for the role of Scott, he genuinely conveys his awkwardness and self-doubt. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is beautiful in the role of the mysterious Ramona, and Anna Kendrick and Chris Evans also give stunning performances in their roles.
Edgar Wright's directing work is commendable. He created a stunningly stylish and colorful world in which each scene is imbued with unique energy and humor. Editing, cinematography and special effects are also of a high level, and they are combined into one whole, creating a wonderful audience experience.
However, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is not a movie for everyone. His eccentric style may not appeal to some viewers, and sometimes his jokes may seem too childish. But, in general, it is a stunning film that causes the viewer a lot of emotions, ranging from fun and ending with romance and battle scenes.
