Pondering on Scott Pilgrim


It is more than just a movie based on a graphic novel revolving around games, booze, and rock and roll.

Scott Pilgrim teaches its viewers that the past, no matter how non-excusable nor inescapable, could be conquered.

It shows us that sometimes, we have to die inside, for us to live again.

It points out that vegans aren’t superior at all.

And no matter how many times you change yourself, if it is not from the heart, it is nothing.

It explains the importance of an honest love. That love, at its most bizarre and unkempt state, could still be a beautiful experience. But love is not always enough.

Scott Pilgrim educates us about the power of self-respect. That above all, above anything else, it is of utmost importance.
He learned it the hard way, but he went through it and won his battles.

We all learn it the hard way at times. Many people, even the ones we love, will not respect us and will deny us. But we should never - ever- lose respect for ourselves. Save something for your pride. Save something for your dignity. Even a bit will do.

It is our HP.  It is our weapon. It is our shield. It must not be taken away.

Without it, we all die in the end.
