Ghost World
Ursprünglich hochgeladen von pureple

Dan Clowes' graphic novel, "Ghost World" tells the story of Enid Coleslaw and her best friend Rebecca during the months between their high school graduation and the following October. The girls curse a lot, obsess over freaks and strange events in their lives and eventually come to realize their childhood friendship may not survive their transition into adulthood.

First I thought that feelings,problems and live of two teenage-girls from a male writers point of view would be unreal, but its told very realistic:)

The story is full of humor and mystery. Enid and Rebecca inhabit a world of strange grafitti, of diners and run-down apartments where things tend to happen just outside the frame, or within windows. And Clowes' two-toned, semi-realistic, sometimes cartoony depiction of the various geeks, pervos and schmoes who inhabit "Ghost World" is dead on... the dopey expressions, the sudden crises, the need to feel something and the fear that accompanies that desire... it's all there in his characters' faces.
klick!

2001 ghost world was filmed, I think this is going to be my next DVD;)

The strange think about it is, I don`t have a real opinion on this...on one hand the pictures are diferent from what I normaly like...and the language is kinda rough, and somehow its not my theme.But on the other,it is interessting to see something new and different:)
