Ghost World is just exasperatingly dull. It has moments of comedy. It has moments of poignancy. However, these moments get drowned out in this deadbeat teenage girl hating the world and hating everybody around her while learning nothing aboutGhost World is just exasperatingly dull. It has moments of comedy. It has moments of poignancy. However, these moments get drowned out in this deadbeat teenage girl hating the world and hating everybody around her while learning nothing about life and instead just deciding to leave everything behind. There are no character arcs here for our main character who is an immature obnoxious **** to begin with and is an immature obnoxious **** when it ends. The film really can be relatable at times when it comes to touching on issues with growing up and finishing high school, as well as providing some seriously funny moments (especially when discussing art or film). Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, and Steve Buscemi, are all good here, but the film is poorly paced and suffers immensely from crafting a deeply unlikable main character. Expand

what does really this movie want to say? i don't understand. i think this high rating was because of ambiguity of the movie. they did not understand and thought that it is so strong.
