Profile of Ghost

Ghost can be described as bittersweet, emotional, and sentimental. The plot revolves around impossible love, a supernatural romance, and an unlikely couple. The main genres are romance and fantasy. Ghost is set, at least in part, in an urban environment. It is located in New York. It takes place in the 1980s. Ghost has received attention for being a modern classic, an Oscar winner, and a blockbuster. It is well suited for a girls' night and a date night.

Summary of Ghost

After renovating their expensive loft in the TriBeCa section of Manhattan, Molly (Demi Moore) and Sam (Patrick Swayze), a young successful yuppie couple, are walking home one evening when Sam is tragically gunned down by a street mugger. Molly goes into a deep depression, but, unknown to her, Sam has come back as a ghost in order to protect her from danger--although he isn't yet aware who or what means her harm, and he has a lot of learning to do in order to make himself known to her. He teams up with an unwilling psychic, Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg), and together they try to convince a very skeptical Molly that Sam was actually murdered and has returned spectrally to complete some unfinished business. Moore and Swayze and are excellent as the couple, and Goldberg won an Oscar for her portrayal of the wild and wacky psychic. Ghost is considered by many to be one of the most romantic films of the 1990s.

Variety

An odd creation - at times nearly smothering in arty somberness, at others veering into good, wacky fun. Full Review

A nice romantic movie

An emotional and comic romantic fantasy that shows how impossible love can cross the boundaries of the afterlife. Whoopi Goldberg is great here and rightfully earned an Oscar. Read and rate it
