merelyaninnuendo GhostAn interesting idea to project a concept that is clearly dark into a suave romance and good old drama with great music and moments which reminds you of the old romantic novels that plays its major part on the metaphorical emotions.
Miguel Neto I was surprised to average this film both on IMDb as the Metascore , the cast is good, Patrick Swayze is very well , Demi Moore is beautiful and very well in the film, and Whoopi Goldberg is very funny in the film, the chemistry of Demi Moore with Patrick Swayze is very good, the direction is excellent, the soundtrack is good , especially the theme of the film, has very romantic moments , the script is very simple, but it works well , the idea of the film is very interesting , and the double Whoopi and Patrick works enough, I 'm not a fan of romantic movies , the more this caught me a lot and is very recommended, Ghost is a great film, has a very beautiful end , and has several memorable scenes. Note 9.4
jc-osms So it was a cold and wet Sunday afternoon, prematurely dark outside. My wife and I had just got in from walking our dog just before the rain really started and there was no question we weren't venturing out again. I asked her what film she thinks we should watch and she says "a nice one". I flick through various selections and she stops me at "Ghost". She saw it years ago in original release but I've never seen it, so "Ghost" it was.Turned out to be a good choice. I've always been a sucker for fantasy movies dealing with visitations from the afterlife and whatnot, going back to "Topper", "The Bishop's Wife" and of course the daddy of them all "It's A Wonderful Life" and "Ghost" unquestionably taps into all of that, with good ghosts hanging around their loved ones until they find release through redemption, ascending to the light while bad ghosts don't get to stay long, getting immediately dragged down to the nether regions by irresistible black forces. This latter turns out to be very convenient for Patrick Swayze's nice-guy Sam Wheat character when two of his enemies later die on him in hot pursuit.Sam doesn't get to last too long in his physical form, being slain in front of his loving girlfriend, Demi Moore's Molly by what seems to be a random mugger. When Moore is later consoled by Sam's best friend and banking work-colleague Carl, the bigger picture quickly became clearer, leading to a reasonably exciting if slightly over-the-top conclusion as Sam races to save Molly from joining him in the hereafter as the bad guys come after her.Of course, to communicate with Molly, Sam has to find a suitable conduit so enter Whoopi Goldberg's Oda Mae fake medium character and an entertaining sub-plot caper where she and Sam conspire to thwart Carl's embezzlement plans in person at the bank as well as the inevitable scenes where Goldberg first becomes aware of his at first unwelcome presence and later when she's trying to convince Moore of Sam's "existence".Sure there are slushy bits too, like the oft-parodied (and very suggestive!) pottery scene to the backdrop of The Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody", making the film a woman's favourite ever since, but that may be as much to do with big old handsome Patrick as anything else. Undoubtedly though he and Moore are two of the beautiful people, living the life in downtown New York, but they combine well and have you rooting for them all the way through. Goldberg gets to do her goofy, sometimes histrionic comedy thing but she's kept just about in check by the direction. The special effects, for the time, are fine, particularly all the out-of-body stuff.Such was the success of the movie on original release that "Unchained Melody" was re- released as a single in the UK due to the popularity of this film and raced to number 1 in the charts (which it never did on original issue) but I can see why. It's a warming, life- affirming entertaining movie and good clean family entertainment, an old-fashioned Hoolywood movie in the best tradition - and what's wrong with that, as someone once said?
zhongzl-kelley2014 The plot is delicately designed, Demi Moore is fragilely beautiful, acting is fine, the script is fine, I don't know why so many of you throw mean reviews on this brilliant work. You have the freedom to talk, but don't misguide people into thinking this is a bad movie just because you are jealous or drunk or having a bad insomnia. People are supposed to be gentle about movies that praise love and bravery, instead of telling the audience Jerry Zucker and Bruce Joel Rubin. I'm telling you that you'll be really frustrated if they sleep on the street while you are working in the film studio. There is an ancient Chinese saying about this: you can you up.Spoiler alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!The plot is fine, but I don't understand why Sam can just leave with Carl's body stuck in the window. Molly can be in jail if she doesn't dispose the body like a murderer. All the danger is brought upon her by Sam, maybe he should deal with the dirty business before he goes to the land of pleasure.
