this movie caught my attention when i was 14. i was going through an amazingly difficult time in my life, and this movie changed my view on everything. i had not read the graphic novel or even really heard about this film, which my mother rented and to be honest i looked at it and judged it as another stupid chick flick i didn't care to see. but my mum wanted to watch it, so i decided to sit down with her. from the first scene overlooking middle class America it struck me, as a well made movie. the character Enid, was almost a mirror image of how i was feeling at the time, and now when i watch it i almost see her as selfish, but i still feel a lot of emotions for her. now i see myself as Seymour (played by the amazing Steve Buscemi) me, myself being a somewhat excessive compulsive collector (of film not 78 records) and also not being able to get on with 95% of humanity. Terry Zwigoff is a master director who i believe deserves a lot more credit than he gets. this movie captures not just female teenage life, but teenage life wonderfully. i actually have a tattoo of this movie it means so much to me, i love it and always will have a special spot in my heart. i watch it twice a year and i don't get sick of it, in fact i pick up more every viewing. "i don't know what to say, i think it's a remarkable achievement."
