Ghost with Whoopi Goldberg, Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze |
Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze are the passionate lovers
whose romance is undone when the latter is murdered during a bungled hit
arranged by a rival. The clever concept by screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin
extends into comedy (Swayze's character communicates through a sassy
medium played by Whoopi Goldberg, who won an Oscar for this role), horror
(the afterlife is populated by hell-bound demons and the like) and
romantic complications (a handsome suitor, played by Tony Goldwyn, comes
on to Moore while Swayze's spirit is still hanging around). Directed by
Jerry Zucker, previously best known for co-directing Airplane! and
similar broad comedies, Ghost is a careful balancing act of strong
commercial elements, but at heart it is a timeless Hollywood tearjerker
that easily gets under one's skin.
