Ghost World

One of my favourite movies is Ghost World.  I don't remember exactly when i watched it, but it was definitely after i graduated high school.  I was getting over anime at this point because most of the titles i liked dealt with highschool/young teen shoujo shonen stuff, and i was so not interested anymore.  This movie i think, will stay with me for a long time.

Why i love it:
Timing  - Enid graduated at the start of the movie, but she still has those art classes to do.  She's meeting new people, but she's also holding onto the people who've been part of her life so far.  There's a sense of uncertainty of what to do after leaving school. Also a sense of wanting to hold onto things from your youth, but wanting to leave to somewhere new.  This movie was like the movie of everything i felt about my life at the time.  I think if i watched it a few years before/after i did, i wouldn't be able to identify with it as much as i do. 
Costume - I love everything.  I want it all.  And for a long time I didn't really want enid's hair, but for no particular reason (probably boredom), i now have a short black bob. 
Comedy - There are only a few scenes I laugh out loud when i first watched, but there are so many that i think about every now and then and laugh about even in public.  Some of the scenes in the movie are so ridiculous, while still mundane.  I was on the bus once and saw a garage sale outside.  I immediately remembered the one in the movie where a girl wants a dress, but enid goes on about her virginity, and the girls like 'fuck. you!' and i remember her face haha!  I couldn't hold it in!  I'm really bored when i'm on the bus so I tend to laugh at anything.
Enids Character - She's at that point where everyone else is becoming 'adult' and getting their lives sorted out.  She tries, but she stays real. The end of this other post, kind of explains what i mean.  I didn't want to be more like Enid as a few other people have talked about, but because i really could relate to the movie, her character has definitely influenced me.

The comic is also great to read.  I really liked how the movie ended, even if i was really curious to know what happens after.  But i was glad i could have a bit more of Ghost World after the movie, and it made me appreciate it more.
