We often attach it to the frightening hell, but I was soon seized by the harmonious pictures. Ghost is a film published in the 1990s, which hit the screen with its affectionate love. Following the example, China produced the Chinese one, which we know as倩女幽魂.Nowadays the film centered by the theme “Love” is flooding promptly. However, Ghost imprinted on my mind deepest. In the following, I will first give you a detail introduction and then share my personal understanding and feeling of it.1. Introduction 1.1 Plot of storySam and Molly are loving couple.

Make no mistake about Paramounts “Ghost”. It is formula-packed business as usual. In fact, it is double-packed, triple-packed, more: There is the afterlife love affair between recently deceased Patrick Swayze and earthly girlfriend Demi Moore. There is the beyond-the-grave odd-buddy between Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg. It is also a tearjerker, along the sappy lines of “Field of Dream.” Its a murder thriller. “Ghost” starts off in the kind of cheesy way that Paramount seems so peculiarly proud of, We are subjected to True Love Moments between Swayze and Moore, as she tells him she loves him and he says, wait for it, “Ditto” But as soon as the couple is confronted by a gunman, the thriller elements of the movie kick in and the movie getsinteresting. A lot of plot elements can not be given away, but suffice it to say, when Swayzes spirit comes back from the dead, he finds out Moore is in great danger.Only in the leanest of movie-acting year would S and M ever find themselves clutching Oscars, but they are very component performers, certainly good enough to get through this mysterious plot without getting in your wayThe best screen work comes from Goldberg, who puts spiritual oomph into an otherwise strained tea-reading role. Since her memorable performance in “The Color Purple” she has been mired in macho formula, but this movie, though it is still studio-ready stuff may augur well for her future. Written by Bruce Joel Rubin of “Brainstorm,” the story recalls last years “Always” except it is much more emotionally honest: A man who can not say “I love you” to the woman who makes his heart sing suddenly can not make her hear or see him, Sam wheat, a well-built investment banker, and his lovely artist girlfriend, Molly Jensen, have just moved into a fabulous TriBeCa loft. They have never been happier, and then Sam is gunned down on New York street and his spirit separates from his body. 2. Personal feelings An old-fashioned fantasy shot through with sentiment, “Ghost” moves through genres as readily as a phantom castle walls. This heart-shaped thriller, relieved with farce and spectral effects, address the grief of parting and the mourning afteron both sides of the veil.Though there is no too many roughing and impulsive story plot, there is no wonderful and cruel view of fighting, there is no fantastic and eye-catching scene, and there is still no magnificent cast and technical treatment effect. However, the love existing between life and death, the persistence of heart and soul deeply impressed on me. The image that the two characters hug each other tightly as if to inbuilt into their body and soul to make the earthenware remains on my mind. My heart was touched by the pure and firm love between them.It is a movie mixed thrill, bizarre with spirits. The kind goes to the heaven, while the evil rushes to the hell. It tell us always to be kind, otherwise you will be imposed penalty even after you die. The bright comparison between Sam and Carl teaches us the kindness and illness.When I saw Sam was killed by Willy, I had a lump in my throat and I found me could not be more sorrowful. I simply felt that it was I who was killed, but still remained in the world. I can see and hear everybody, I still have emotion, I may be attached to my lovers, but no one recognize my existence, no one see me, no one hear me, no one touch me. What is the most woeful thing? It is that when I am behind you, you do not know. I think all of you have dreamed a dream like that when you discover something but no one trust you ,or imagining you are in danger ,you want to ask others for help, but unfortunately you just can not utter a word. I am sure at that time Sam has as strong a feeling as that.Unable to comfort or communicate with his lover, fortunately he finds Oda and pesters her by singing “I am Henry the Eighth, I am” As if overtaken by tornado, the supernatural valentine spins off into a Whoopified buddy action adventure.It is not the coarse machismo that Goldberg served up in the rest of her tomboy movies, but a robust, gold-hearted performance, Oda is transformed, albeit grudgingly, through helping out the odd couple, In a scene that falls somewhere between endearing and uneasy, the psychic even lets Sam possess her so that he can touch Molly, weeping and trembling, one last time. Heaven can wait for Patrick Swayze in this supernatural love story starring Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg. Yet there is a twist: Sam may be dead, but he has stayed on earth as a spirit in order to spend a few more moments with his beloved. Throw in a conspiracy plot, plenty of special effects and an over-the-top Whoopi Goldberg and the result is a crowed-pleasing supernatural romance guaranteed to keep the interest of even the blithest spirit. Admittedly, Swayze and Moores performance are far too wet to actually be considered anything more than barely competent( good looks were obviously more important than talent in casting this good, it does not really matter.
