This all happens so quickly that we are as unsettled as Sam in his new situation, we see this new existence through Sam’s eyes we learn to adapt as he does to all the bewildering things that come from being a ghost. The strange dream sequence which I have always found perplexing is a manifestation of that confusion, integrating a collage of images and fantasy until Sam realises he has died. His death scene is very underrated, he portrays a convincing confusion and panic at being ripped so suddenly and violently from his body as can only be imagined. Director Jerry Zucker has said that Patrick did not require dialogue in a scene to portray the message, he could say it all with his eyes. However, I think people forget that this is not just a great love story but a tense and rather frightening drama, Swayze’s performance as Sam is one of the greatest he delivered.
Saying that, his more sinister pieces are menacing summing up entirely the danger and threatening situations on screen and may I say for a 9-year-old is truly frightening. It is an unforgettable element of the picture and undeniably one of the main reasons you require a box of tissues close by.
GHOST 1990 FULL
Created by Maurice Jarre, it is one of the most beautiful and sentimental pieces of film music, full of longing and passion.
GHOST 1990 MOVIE
The score, notably the love theme, is introduced very early on in the movie and establishes a great tone for the relationship of Sam and Molly and its great depth. The song played here has also reached great heights of infamy in relation to the film Unchained Melody performed by the Righteous Brothers was actually released 25 years before in 1965 but was re-introduced to a legion of new fans through its use in Ghost’s most recognized scene. The famous pottery sequence has taken on a life of its own in skits and re-imaginings. There are a number of reasons Ghost is considered a soppy romance, mainly due to one scene. Through sheer love and perseverance, Sam is able to reaffirm his love for Molly and settle his unfinished business. When he discovers he was murdered in a premeditated attack and Molly is in danger he enlists the help of Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg) a fraud psychic who is distressed to learn she can hear him, to communicate to Molly for him. But unbeknownst to the grieving Molly, Sam is still hanging around, he has not crossed over to the other side due to a desire to know why he was killed. Sam Wheat (Swayze) and Molly Jensen (Moore) are a happy couple moving in together and planning a future until Sam is killed in a mugging gone wrong. OK so it’s not hard to guess what’s coming, I mean it’s in the title, but the how’s and why’s are what make this movie and make it so much more than just a chick flick.
There are definite hints of something in the dialogue, which only adds to the build-up.
Ghost is considered a chick flick one for the girls with a glass of wine and a box of tissues – true it is that but there is so much more to it.įrom the ominous blast of music introducing the title, you know this is not going to be sunshine and rainbows, the opening scenes establish the characters and there is already a sense of foreboding as we watch this happy young couple starting their life together in a great New York apartment. I have fond memories of watching it repeatedly, though I was drastically too young to see the film, but now I can look back and laugh at the years of nightmares its antagonists gave me. For as long as I can remember Ghost has been a special film.
