best friend enid and rebecca graduate from high school and find themselves force to enter the real world . enid ( more than rebecca ) be a counter culture rebel who hat this world of fraud and loser and and she subsequently have trouble get and keep a job . one day the girl decide to play a prank on a lonely middle age loser name seymour . their plan backfire and though and and enid become a little obsessed with the man . first she feel sorry for seymour and then he become something of a hero to her and and she resolve to help him at least find a girlfriend . maybe i just can not stand the thought of a world where a guy like you can not get a date and she tell him . meanwhile and enid seem to be avoid the challenge of get her own life start . terry zwigoff ( crumb ) direct this film base on a script by dan clowes and who also create the original comic book . ghost world attempt to be a kitsch free and counter culture come of age film and and for the most part it succeed . the character be very believable and honest and and engage . the downbeat seymour be play wonderfully by steve buscemi and and thora birch in her striking performance a enid follow up her american beauty role with another discontent but sympathetic misfit teen character . perhaps the great disappointment in ghost world and however and be that scarlett johansson a rebecca be marginalize midway through the film . regard the story represent it be debatable whether the film be entirely free of kitsch . a with american beauty and the sudden romantic opportunity which fall into seymour lap smell suspiciously of middle age wish fulfillment . also and one might ask for a slightly tight end and a the film finish without much resolution except for one rather simple but touch scene between enid and seymour . on the whole and however and the film be a delight and produce some very memorable character to whom and in the end and the audience will be sorry to say goodbye .
