Dani :3🍉’s review published on Letterboxd:
so, i just finished scott pilgrim (the comic) and i dont know what to do with my life anymore so i want to point out some things i loved about it
i like it more than the film because it gives its characters so much more depth and it points out the mistakes and bad things they have done, they dont say its fine or just forget about them, they have to face their mistakes and the consequences of their actions, they have to grow up, and that is something i really like about this, it shows how important is to grow up, and yes its hard, but also necessary, you cant act like a child forever... but that doesnt mean you have to do it alone. growing up is hard, but the best way to do it is to learn from other people, to see what you have done wrong and how to improve. me myself, i have grown up in a lot of ways, lately i feel like i have taken some steps back on that, but the important thing is that i got to see that i was very immature, and i could improve and make myself a more grown up person. i distanced myself from a person that wasnt good for me. i wasnt good for them either, but i could see that i was someone immature and someone i didnt like to be, but i didnt grew up on my own, not really. the person that, i believe, changed me a lot is DayoScript, he is a spanish journalist and youtuber, if you know spanish i recommend you insistently to check out his videos. he is an absolute woke person and with his videos he helped me to see that i wasnt listening, i had a closed mind and he helped me to see, mostly with his big bang theory analysis, that i had to grow up and become a better person. and i think i did, sometimes i think i havent changed but my closest friends reminds me, with their friendship, that i have changed, and that makes me very happy. thats why i love this franchise, mostly the comic and scott pilgrim takes off, because they show how the characters have to grow up and face their problems, and face the consequences of hurting people, that touches deep inside of me.
the other thing i loved is Kim Pine, she is just... i love her, she is my favourite. Kim is a character that i really enjoy reading or watching, yes, at first she can seem just a sarcastic and a bit misanthrope person, but as the plot keeps going we see a different look at her, she has insecurities and she has a heart, she has some moments where we can see that shes not a flat character at all, shes very human and an awesome character, i wish we saw more of her in takes off because shes just amazing, and in the comic has moments that, for me, are really heartbreaking.
anyways, i know this "scott pilgrim review" doesnt seem like a review and maybe i took it too personal, but is something i had to say and this was the perfect moment because i really see a lot of myself in this franchise, and i love it. i just have something more to say: read it, seriously!
thank you if you read the whole thing and i really hope you are doing very well, thank you very much
