In the second class of film studies, I have watched a movie named Scott Pilgrim VS The World. I'm totally blurred about this movie. When our lecturer gave us watched this movie, my first impression of this movie pop out that it was linked with animation. Scott Pilgrim VS The World is an action comedy film published in 2010. It is co-written, produced and directed by Edgar Wright, based on the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O'Malley. This film talks about a slothful musician named Scott Pilgrim played by Michael Cera who must battle the seven evil ex-boyfriends of his newest girlfriend Ramona. It had also shown that two girls who love the same boy very much and both of them are willing to compromise with each other at last.
The scene I would like to talk about is when Scott received a phone call from Gideon to invite him to the Chaos Theatre in Toronto where Sex-Bob-Omb is playing. Before that, Scott and his band were performing on the stage. He stunned when he saw Ramona is together with Gideon and they seem very intimate. Scott continued his performance while Katayanagi Twins were playing electronic music. It was a trap where Katayanagi Twins try to attack Scott but they failed. Scott won his 1-up and he straightaway runs out to talk to Ramona. Scott felt upset when Ramona told him she wants to break up with him. Then, Gideon and Ramona left after Sex-Bob-Omb signed the three-albums contract. In order to win back Ramona, Scott accepts Gideon's invitation to the Chaos Theatre. Scott was furious with determination. Because of this, Scott earns the power of love. Scott used it and killed all the attendants of Gideon. He was desired to kill Gideon but still could not make it. Just as Gideon wanted to kill Scott, Knives saved him at the moment. By feeling guilty to Knives and Ramona, Scott was distracted and he has been killed by Gideon. However, this did not lead Scott to give up. Ramona told him her mind was controlled by Gideon. Scott then used his 1-up and he earns the power of self-respect. This time Scott became stronger and steady. As being times of failures by killing Gideon, Scott found a chance to kill Gideon with Knives's assistance and he earns 7 billion. Without control by Gideon, Ramona was free and she was ready to leave when Scott was talking to Knives. Knives realized that the person who Scott loving at all was Ramona and she chooses to give up. Scott ended up leaving with Ramona. There was a happy ending.
In this movie, it has shown a lot of interesting mise-en-scenes and mise-en-shots. Apart from the scene that I have described above, the scene in which the appearance of Lucas Lee was very fascinating. From that scene, it shows the actor's behavior and movement. When Lucas Lee came out, there was a sound effect of avengers. It makes this movie become more lively and the audience will put the attention on Lucas which he was Ramona's second exes. The gestures and facial expressions that emerged from Lucas and Scott were fantastic when they were fighting with each other. This surely will increase the movie's reaction. Besides, the movie's producer has put some effects when Lucas was fighting with Scott and there come multiple of Lucas. These multiple effects have also been used by Mathew Patel, which was Ramona's first exes.

Furthermore, the costumes showed in this movie was extremely attractive and noticeable. One of the reasons that attract me to watch this movie was because of the costumes. For instance, Mathew Patel wears a normal striped t-shirt with red and black color on his inner side. After adding a light brown coat, it makes him look more formal and nuttiness. This kind of style also makes him looks like a pirate plus his hair was covered half of his face. For the costumes of Todd and Envy, both of them look to match and they are a couple. Todd wears a t-shirt which has number 3 in front of his t-shirt with a wristband. It gave people the feeling of he was a footballer and it has been successfully concealed his real character. Envy have wears two types of costumes which are black and white vest with a jacket and black vest with a white coat. This makes Envy looks charming when she put on the earrings and necklaces with creamy-white hair. It gives people feels like she was a strong woman and a mighty woman.

In addition, this movie has shown many attractive flashes of lightning. One of the examples was when Katayanagi Twins were playing the electronic music on the stage which they colluded with Gideon used to attack Scott. The lightning showed behind was enchanted. One of the settings and props used in this movie was the practice place for Scott's band, Sex-Bob-Omb. They used a house living room and make it looks like an auditorium. It was creative and can save money by renting other places to practice.

Close up
Extreme close up
Medium shot

In conclusion, Scott Pilgrim VS The World showed many nice skills and high quality producing in this movie. I also learned a meaningful lesson through this movie which said by Scott's roommate, Wallace Wells when he encouraged Scott to be brave if Scott wanted to chase his own favorite girl. Wallace Wells said that have to overcome any and all obstacles that lie in our path. It was such a good phrase and give people inspiration. So, I would like to say this is a valuable movie that worth to be watched.
