If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, then Ghost is definitely one of those movies that rocked your childhood. This fantasy drama, tinged with romance, has become a classic of the genre over the years. Needless to say, the press shunned it at the time, and audiences flocked to darkened theaters to discover this beautiful love story.
Because apart from its famously scary scene that keeps people talking, above all, the couple played by Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore made thousands dream and cry.
They play a New York couple who are passionately in love. But everything changes when Sam Whit is attacked in the street and shot dead. To her surprise, she becomes a ghost and manages to communicate with a hysterical clairvoyant. He then tries to contact his wife and discovers who wanted to kill him.
A ghost film unlike any other
With a 3.9/5 rating on AlloCiné from over 30,000 ratings, Ghost is one of the seminal films from Moore and Swayze, but also the brilliant Whoopi Goldberg as a somewhat clairvoyant. Her performance earned her the first Oscar of her career that year.
For AlloCiné viewers, director Jerry Zucker manages to turn The Ghost into a timeless and thrilling romance that manages to elevate the talents of the two lead actors. Here are a few selected excerpts:
“A beautiful film, honest and deep. The mix of fantasy and romance works very well, and overall a great success for Jerry Zucker, who makes his best film here. Especially since Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze get the most out of it. Great roles. Very good, beautiful with great music. (Caine78)
“What a wonder. How can we not be indifferent to this film? The script is excellent, of course, Demi Moore’s best performance, which is very much appreciated in this film. Patrick Swayze is amazing, bright, attractive. This film is about death and spirituality. This adaptation is one of the best in the world of cinema. -One of the best performances the 7th Arts has given us. Hats off, great job. To watch and watch again.” (NeonLine)
Netflix: We don’t have a minute left, these 23 movies and series are leaving the catalog soon
“Poetry, emotion, humor, romance and visions of death in several forms. A huge success that easily brings tears to the eyes with the beauty of its story.” (move)
Simply put, Ghost is one of the best movies of the 90s, without a doubt. She is bright, optimistic, full of charm and tenderness. Some would say it has a little marshmallow side to it, this is sometimes completely wrong, but what good does it do? And honestly, I don’t think we’ve gotten any better since that date night. ” (YannickCinephile)
“Remake of everything. All tenderness and tears. A great smile. Moore is special. “ (Pascal I)
If you haven’t seen Ghost yet, then you still have a few days to catch up on Netflix. Like Swayze’s character, it will disappear from the catalog on March 31st.
