The comments on every Ghost World clip are about how Enid is so cool and relatable. I always saw her as kind of immature and pathetic. By the end of the movie/comic, she’s clearly going nowhere and is afraid of growing up. I can’t be the only one that sees her character as someone that isn’t supposed to be looked up to.
Enid is cool and relatable but she's also very immature. She's rightly critical about the boring, lifeless world around her but the way that she goes about it is annoying and arrogant and her a lot of her rebelliousness is a cover for insecurity. She's kind of just a ball of negativity that goes around criticizing everyone. And I think that's why she's so drawn to Seymour-- he's a sad old guy who works in middle management who's also sarcastic but he's also passionate about music. Enid's empty.
No, I think its pretty obvious in the movie that she’s an insecure, snotty, know it all brat. There are times when she is downright insufferable. But that makes her more human. We see her starting to question her old beliefs and prejudices, and by the end of the movie she sees how negative and nihilistic her best friend is and realizes she wants to change and grow and find meaning. She wants to find a stable sense of identity that isn’t just copying the views and tastes of her nihilistic 90s doomer peers, who are just as snotty and mean as she is. But she can’t, aside from some meaningful conversations with Seymour, who is just as awkward and insecure as she is - he doesn’t want to change or grow - he’s contented to stay stagnant and the same - and the old man waiting at the bus stop, but her encounter with him is too brief, and his answers to her questions are too cryptic. She’s dissatisfied with life and tired of the shallow NPCs all around her. So she leaves town. Some say it’s a metaphor for her suicide.
The entire film Enid walks around disaffected and unmoved by anything yet some insignificants make fun of her appearance and instantly get her dander up.
The way she says “gaaaawwdfuckkyou” 😂 one of the rare moments Enid is publicly defeated. I wish we saw more of Enid with green hair it’s one of her memorable looks.
This is one of my favorite movies with Thora Birch I enjoy watching along with Hocus Pocus from 1993 and Now And Then from 1995 and I got this movie on Dvd for my birthday last year.
The BEST PART OF The MOVIE.. Reasoning I'm A Punk Myself... I Fuckin Grew Up To This Movie, & Still Watch It To This Day.. Actually Watching It Right Now ;)
They changed the roles alot. Enid is one who really gets all the boys and Rebecca is jealous of Enid and eventually becomes just like ENid when she realizes that Josh is in love with her.
Actually, Rebecca only claims that every boy likes Enid better. We never see any evidence of this. On the other hand, Enid claims that Rebecca is every guy's dream girl and that she can get any guy she wants. Considering the fact that John Ellis seem to be attracted to Rebecca, and that Enid recalls been called a "dyke" because of her looks, I'd say the movie didn't switch the roles much after all.
@@halder8613 he is talking about the comics, in the book Josh reveals he is in love with Ennid (a similar scene to the one with Seymour) but in the end she ends up with Reebeca cause Ennid goes dry when he reveals his love to her.
@@halder8613 Josh loves her but ends up with Rebecca when she ghost hims after he confess his feelings. I feel the problem with Ennid is not so much looks but she goes out of her way to be cynical and different but ends up as mean.
that guy was an awesome troll... you can't work in a record store and only like pop music (if nicki minaj is pop). he clearly said it to annoy the girl, because he liked her...
@whitetrashoutlaw well true, the pistols had a gig that night (july 4, 1976). that said, the ramones started punk, period. there was the dolls and stooges and lotsa other shit but that was pre-punk. 1976 ramones debut lp lays out the punk rock blueprint, even has a song called judy is a punk. in rotten's biography (no irish, no blacks, no dogs) one of the pistols engineers for their spunk demos recalls steve carrying the ramones lp and saing "make us sound like this".
@odeerg But first impression of her is that she doesn't care what anyone thinks and she thinks everyone or most everyone else is stupid. So it's shocking when you see her bothered over what that moron (or so I would think she would say) said to her.
@odeerg Hence the name "Ghost" in the title. I think Enid symbolically is a ghost in the sense that she really doesn't know who she is which plays into the uncertainty and so she jumped from personality to personality trying to find one that felt "her".

@Angryschizoid Yeah. He was 20, he wore an "I hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt just to tick people off, and he hung around with yobs. He was just a kid. Problem?
Hence what she said about it being an original look (mixing decades). BTW, I have your icon (Blood poster, TMC) on my closet door... I'm looking at it right now.
@Gunnarsas The Ramones invented punk. They toured England in '76 and all the future members of every British punk band saw them play. Johhny Rotten was scared shitless of The Ramones since he was just a kid at the time and thought they were actual gang members and would beat him up.
@whitetrashoutlaw Right, because you say so? We can debate what defines "punk" but most people credit The Ramones as the first punk band. And they still predate the Sex Pistols.
@@royrowland5763 So to mention a difference is immediately to belittle or mock that difference..... interesting. Your final remark is redundant as I cannot assist you unfortunately.
1:01 I remember liking this movie when I first saw it, because it was so different. It didn't involve saving earth from some space aliens. But now looking at it, i'm seeing the first seeds of feminist "girl power", the "I'm a princess and I don't need a prince" mentality that would fully mature in Disney's Frozen, anti-male snide comments because she's so cool, and full-on swearing and disrespecting the men, but they don't retaliate, because they are men that have been feminized, and the men "know their place" in the hierarchy, which is clearly below women. This matured into the full-on woke politics of today. Also, this focus on her "getting a job" shouldn't relate to some women -- women who are supported by men, and choose to have a family. It's just more anti-natalism, and feminist garbage.
idk if you like, understood the movie, but i feel like the framing of her behavior made it pretty clear that it was negative, a sign of her immaturity.
The movie is a tragedy about an alienated teenager making everyone's life a little worse before disappearing because she can't find a place in the world. Remarkably, you managed to interpret Enid as shallowly as the idiot background characters of Ghost World do.
His "Oh how punk" reaction needs to be a widely utilized gif
I agree ^-^
cx1735 i use it all the time 👌🏻
As a meme
I use it all the time, I remember on tumblr it was very common lol
Bingo !
"I didn't really get it either" "Everyone's too stupid!" - lol
It's almost like Chris Cooper saying, "This country is going straight to hell!"
Rebecca sitting on the couch being bored out of her mind just killed me.
'Who are you supposed to be, Cyndi Lauper?' - my favourite line in the whole film :)
🤣
"Get a job in some big corporation. Fuck things up from the inside."

She looks like a nerdy Jack.

That's what I got from it as well. Enid is too clever for her own good. Like an artist out of tune with the world she inhabits.
A greater insight into what the filmmakers presented Ohh how punk!

I wonder if that’s a reference to Enid listening to “What Do I Get?” by them in the previous scene where she’s dying her hair.
