The first time I viewed the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, it stayed in my thoughts for at least a week. As it may come off quite comical and seemingly too quirky, the story incases a message grasping the theme of undying love. The main character, Scott, first comes to terms with his superficial relationship with his adorable, yet naive girlfriend, Knives Chao. His passion for music and his alternative rock band then leads him to the other protagonist, Ramona, the heartthrob. From the moment…
While Shaun of the Dead has some instances of music use similar to that of Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim vs The World can also be compared. Scott Pilgrim, unlike any other Edgar Wright film, is a comic book adaptation and is set in Canada, which differs greatly from the particularly British setting and plot points of his previous films. While not culturally or geographically similar to Baby Driver’s Atlanta setting, it does show that Edgar Wright has long been capable of telling stories outside of…

Overall the film followed the usual narrative structure schematic, but its effects and transitions make this film different than others.…
