Ghost (1990)

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is one the best movies I have seen. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is scary at time. It is scarier then The silences of lambs could ever be. 7 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 7 is underrating it. This is not a 7. This is a 10. If you like ghost stories you should see this movie. If is a great movie. See it see it see it see it see it see it see it see it. It is one of the best fantasy film I have seen. It is scarier then the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on elm street could ever be. This is scarier then the 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th could ever be. See this movie. It a great movie. It has a great soundtrack.

This is a decent fantasy/romance movie that has some interesting moments and good characters, although it felt like they couldn't find the right tune to tell it. Clearly a better and smarter screenplay could elevate this movie a lot, especially some dialogues were so out of place.I liked the chemistry between Patrick Swayze's character and Whoopi Goldberg's character, for me that was the strongest aspect of the movie. The other good thing about this movie was how they kept the story simple and focused. However, the drama never worked for me. Movie telling you how to feel all the time combined with cheesy romance and bad acting wasn't something that I can ignore. Totally Watchable!Best way to watch it: catch it on TV when spending lazy time on bed.

Now Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg are brilliant actors but to be completely honest with you, I thought this movie was rather long as a 2 hour 7 minutes film. If it was going to be one hour and 45 minutes, it would've made the story more easier to know what's happening throughout.Although the movie had some ups, the scene where Swayze and Moore's scene with them lovingly teasing each other while shes making a clay pot. Seriously, it was very sweet and like you don't have to be a fan of romantic films to not like that scene! That's all I'm going to say, the rest is totally up to you!

"It's amazing, Molly. The love inside, you take it with you."Only one film beat Jerry Zucker's Ghost at the U.S. Box Office in 1990 and that was Home Alone, but Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore's romantic fantasy managed to take everyone by surprise as it topped other films like Pretty Woman, Dances With Wolves, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Total Recall, Goodfellas, and even the sequels for Die Hard, The Godfather, Robocop, and Back to the Future. What is surprising is that this ghost tale still remains such a beloved classic to this date, thanks in most part to the amazing chemistry between Swayze and Moore and to the fantastic soundtrack performed by The Righteous Brothers. I don't know however, if this film would've worked without Whoopi Goldberg's hilarious supporting performance (which won her her only Oscar) considering the story doesn't really pick off until she enters the picture. Of course that overly emotional touching scene at the end is what everyone probably remembers (and the reason why this film won an Oscar for Original Screenplay), but I don't think it has aged too well. The film is entertaining, although it is cheesy at times and the visual effects don't live up to today's standards. What surprised me the most when I saw this is how well it balances those melodramatic moments with the comedy, because I always believed this film was a romantic tale from beginning to end, but it really is more of an action comedy with several twists along the way (albeit predictable ones). There is no doubt that the universal premise of wanting to believe that our loved ones are still with us when they pass away to protect and guard us is what really sold this film and Ghost easily manages to tell that story with two likable actors sharing a strong chemistry together.The film opens by introducing us to a lovely couple, Sam (Patrick Swayze) and Molly (Demi Moore), who've just bought a property and are ready to make their dreams a reality. Carl (Tony Goldwyn) is Sam's good friend and work partner at the bank who is always there supporting him and Molly. However, their dreams are shattered when Sam is murdered after a thug tries to steal his wallet one night. Sam's spirit remains on Earth and he discovers that this wasn't simply a robbery and that Molly's life is also in danger. He must warn her before it's too late, but no one seems to see or hear him. That is until Sam meets a psychic named Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg) who will try to convince Molly that she can speak to her dead lover's spirit before it is too late.Up to this point Jerry Zucker was known mainly for co-directing satires like the classic Airplane!, Top Secret!, and Ruthless People. Prior to his solo directorial feature debut in Ghost, he had helped write the screenplay for Naked Gun as well, so he was mainly known for his work in satires. Many probably believed this ghost story was just another satire and so the romantic story took everyone by surprise. I'm sure Bruce Willis was regretting not having accepted to co-star along with his wife at the time, and that may be the reason why he accepted to star in The Sixth Sense years later. It's a different film but it does seem to borrow certain ghostly elements from this romantic tale. I did find it kind of ironic that in the 90's you had these actors standing next to each other being forced to act as if they couldn't see one another, while now you actually have actors forced to talk to characters who aren't there but thanks to the magic of movies and CGI are easily placed later.estebueno10.blogspot.com/
