A man is shot and killed. His body dies, but not his spirit. Before leaving this world for the next, he must come by a device to warn his lover that she is in impending inconvenience from the culprits. Sound objective a miniature familiar? It should. The understanding for this memoir is loosely based on none other then “Hamlet”. This though is not quite as deep or complex as Shakespeare’s astronomical tragedy. It is however, a view provoking, touching chronicle that has a dinky something for everybody. It’s got romance,comedy, mystery and suspense, fantasy, action and most importantly…WHOOPI!

So how does Sam(Patrick Swayze) manage to accomplish contact with his beloved Molly(Demi Moore) after his death? Well he goes through a psychic of course. Not unbiased any psychic though..he finds a medium who’s larger than life..Oda Mae Brown(Whoopi Goldberg) .

Together, they turn Molly into a believer(along with the audience) and slump down the murderous thugs out to salvage her.

The action, and suspense will sustain you on the edge of your seat, the romance will thrill you and the special effects are shapely. Whoopi Goldberg is astounding, and provides the fantastic laughable relief in the account, as a con artist who finds herself with a gift to give. She took home an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for this 1990 film. The film was also honored with the Best Unusual Screenplay. Swayze and Moore seem like they were made for each other and will have you believing in cherish ever after.

The DVD presents a nice definite relate in widescreen and the sound gives you the choice of DD5.1 surround or stereo surround. It may also be viewed in French(stereo) and has English subtitles for those needing them. The features include commentary by the Director(Jerry Zucker), and Writer (Bruce Joel Rubin), as well as an informative retrospective on the film(this is where I learned of the “Hamlet” connection) .

The film is rated PG-13. There are some scenes of violence and of course there’s the very sensuous clay sculpting scene to the tune of “Unchained Melody”(who can ever forget that?!)

If you have already seen this movie, and know it’s one that you will peep over and over(and to that I would say “Ditto”), this broad DVD is a bargain. If you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth a try and will preserve everybody enthusiastic for the entire length of the film.

Go for it and delight in….Laurie

A picture-perfect modern-day romance that tells an intelligent romantic yarn, “Ghost” is one of the best romantic films ever made. In it, we witness honest what lengths someone will go to for their fancy for someone else, and also shows us that the cherish we have for someone in our life goes on after death. Director Jerry Zucker, and acting by Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg, all execute this movie a landmark that everybody knows about.

What is so special about the account is the connection between the two romantic leads. Swayze plays Sam Wheat, who, with his longtime girlfriend Molly, is remodeling a penthouse apartment in Recent York, where they soon live together, completely pleased and in worship. We have no reason to expect the adore legend angle because the direction and acting narrate us from the very beginning the nature of their relationship, and does it in understandable terms. Sam also works for a major banking corporation, where he has a best friend Carl, who seems more than willing to engage distinct workloads off of Sam’s shoulders. One night, Sam and Molly are position upon by a thief, who demands Sam’s wallet, and after a struggle, Sam is left with a fatal gunshot pain. Of course, being plain, he is now a ghost, and must leer as Molly comes to the realization that her lover is boring.

The acting of these two actors is what makes all of this incredibly affecting, most especially Molly’s coping with Sam’s sudden exit from her life. She keeps his personal things, as well as any miniature scrap of paper or memory she can believe onto, with Sam watching all of this from slack her shoulder and Carl trying his best to comfort and console her. Sam soon pays a visit to a con artist medium named Otta Mae Brown, played by Whoopi Goldberg, who is the only person that Sam is able to talk to. The comedy of the movie really picks up as we are given scenes of Brown walking in the streets arguing with the air, talking to the walls, and having hissy fits with Sam in public. Goldberg is really given a chance to shine in this role, playing out some of her best lines and material ever.

Comedy then mixes with drama and action as the set reveals that Carl was a mastermind gradual a assassinate conspiracy. Carl is in desperate need of money, and when he found out that Sam was in charge of a four million dollar bank memoir, he hired a hitman to have Sam killed in order to try and pick over the yarn and pick the money. As he further tries to worm his device into Molly’s life, Sam becomes more and more certain to try and accept a intention of reaching her aside from giving Otta Mae instructions on what to say to her. Swayze is able to give us a powerhouse performance here, as his character sits serve and can do nothing to physically protect his esteem. He feels used, helpless, and these emotions are played out brilliantly.

The film won an Academy Award, one of two, for Best Fresh Screenplay for 1990. The script is a melting pot of many different elements: comedy that comes from the relationship of Otta Mae and Sam’s collaboration, supernatural elements stemming from the ghost angle, thriller techniques that reside in the mystery of Sam’s death and Carl’s intentions, and most primary, the fancy account that Molly and Sam live out, which serves as the basis for everything that happens. It has a slight bit of everything for everyone, which gave diverse audiences what they wanted and made it a sheer success among people.

Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze both give superior performances that withhold the care for fable going. They both have a chemistry that never stops or staggers the film, but keeps it going. Whoopi Goldberg is Otta Mae Brown, a role she was born to play and for which she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her laughable genius and diverse areas of acting play a major role, and sometimes become the heart of the film. Tony Goldwyn plays the conniving Carl, and does so effectively. He is one of those few people in a movie that the audience can truly hate for his crimes, and when the ending comes, it is pure satisfaction to survey him catch what’s coming to him.

“Ghost” is nothing short of a successful movie, keeping us enthralled with comedic, romantic and thrilling elements, making us fill in things beyond this world. It never stops enthralling, it is utterly novel, and it keeps us at the edge of our seats as well as tugging at our hearts.
