Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: A Hell of a Ride

In my opinion, the author William Akana who analyzed inventive special effects, clever dialogue, and artistic cinematography and editing of this movie to support her viewpoint of the essay. She also used other writers’ researching report for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World to clarify more details and examples to support her ideas.

Although this film is for old-school gamers, anime fans, and comic book fanatics, the attractive and neoteric elements can also make other audience go to cinema or buy the DVD for watching. Everyone have the curiosity that is an important ability of humans’ society. They can be attracted by some things that they have not seen or known before. So this film, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World used the inventive special effects, clever dialogue, and artistic cinematography and editing to create the new sources that audience never seen before. According to these different details and ideas, this movie can attract other kinds of audience. Although I have not seen this film, I can get the enough information about this film from the writer’s assignment. It is fascinating that the writer found other famous persons’ opinions about this film to create some arguments and used more evidences to help herself to support her perspectives.


From my perspective, Akana’s argument that the film’s special effects “can be appreciated and enjoyed by all audiences” is not convincing. For different people, they have different beliefs and values about the world. Maybe some people who are not old-school gamers, anime fans, and comic book fanatics can accept the interesting and neoteric elements and even been in love with the film so much by these elements. But for some people who want to watch a serious and magnificent movie, this film is not a good choice for them. So I think it is not convincing that this movie can be appreciated and enjoyed by all audiences. Another film I have seen that uses special effects is Hobbit. I even think all the stuffs who worked for this film are brilliant. They created a perfect world for audience. They built the special language system, history and background to create a new world. They also found the best actors to make the stories of this world become more real. For these two movies, the stuffs used the special basics and attractive elements to make audiences love their films. But Hobbit have the more comprehensive world system of the film than Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. This reason also made the Hobbit can be famous and popular in the world. So I believe that if the stuffs who created a film wanted to make all audience to accept it, the first thing they need to do is make the film be perfect as possible as they can.
