A wonderful movie, sincere and inspired, with four terrific performances and a story that doesn't let up. The picture has the gentle, nourishing quality of a fairy tale that you want to believe, and the unsoftened impact of gut-level entertainment. [13 July 1990, Daily Datebook, p.E1]
There are still some astonishingly tender moments, including looks exchanged between Swayze and Moore that seem magically divorced from this summer of exploding jets, severed limbs and homicidal children. [13 July 1990, Friday, p.D]
This Is Another Great Movie It's One Of The Best Whoopi Goldberg Movies That I Ever Seen This Movies Stars Whoopi Goldberg, Demi Moore And Patrick Swayze It's About Patrick Swayze Who Lives With Demi Moore And Then All Of A Sudden Patrick Swayze Becomes A Ghost After He Died By A Murder He Is A Ghost And He Literally Dosen't Touch Anything At All Soon Enough Patrick Comes Into Whoopi's Apartment And They Are Not Getting Along Very Well And Then Soon Enough The Ghosts Send The Murder To Hell And Then In The End Of The Movie Patrick Starts To Die After He Was A Ghost For A While It's A Great Movie You Should Buy A Copy Of It Ot Renting It Off At Netflix
Goldberg has her best role in a while, especially when she twitches and grunts her way into phony trances. Poor Demi, though, cries enough tears to drench a small drought-stricken state. [13 July 1990, Life, p.4D]
A bad movie that a lot of people will like... Though director Jerry Zucker wants his necrophiliac romance to be sensitive, he pumps up its feelings fortissimo so the dimmest viewer will get the point. [16 July 1990, p.86]
This is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. Excellent characters. Perfect plot. Not a single mistake. Ingenious. Masterly. Beautifully. Exciting
This ultra-romantic film addresses two main themes: the power of love and the afterlife. The title may deceive, make us think that is another horror film about hauntings. Well ... it's about ghosts but does not scare anyone. The script is based on the sudden death of Sam and in his attempts to contact his wife, now widow, and warn her about a deadly danger lurking around her. Simple but effective, the script works well, plays with a universal belief, shared by millions of people, places deep questions and earned for its author, Bruce Joel Rubin, an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
The main roles are played by Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, two experienced actors who don't have disappointed the public, providing us with very good performances. They have created a good visual chemistry, which helps to enhance the romantic mood of the film. Compelling is the performance of Whoopi Goldberg, one of the most striking of her career. She gave life to a funny medium that starts to be a fraud. The film also features several innovative special effects, for the time, and look good on the screen.
you'll go to heaven..
Ghost
An 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.
Une comédie sentimentale qui ne pisse pas loin et malgré une certaine originalité dans son sujet -ou plutôt le cadre de son sujet… sujet lui-même aux poncifs niaiseux- elle s’avère aussi fantomatique que beaucoup trop anecdotique malgré un Patrick Swayze tout à fait convaincant. Il faut dire qu’elle échoue en termes de drame -à moins d’aimer la collection Harlequin- mais également en matière de comédie…
La faute évidemment à Whoopi la bouffonne wesh-wesh qui en fait des tonnes, une sorte d’alter ego féminin d’Eddie Murphy en somme… mais en… encore pire ! si tant est que ce soit possible bien entendu… et ça l’est, hélas ! quant à Demi, ça ne marche qu’à moitié comme trop souvent avec elle… sauf très rares exceptions.
C’est donc beaucoup trop gnangnan et concon pour que ça fonctionne, sans compter les raccourcis, les facilités et les incohérences : bref, Ghost, c’est surtout du vent en fait !
