Have a nice life. Have a nice death.

Rating: 5/10 (9 September 2019)

I was walking across a busy Manhattan street when a woman in a tank top and jeans comes up to me and yells my name. She insisted she knows me and in repetition she announces my name over and over . What does this crazy woman want ? For the life of me I couldn't recognize her. The persistence continued as she started to name members of my family and my parent's home address. Who is this person? I never felt so vulnerable. I guess that's how celebrities feel when fans approach them. The woman in question was dead on correct in her claims but I still was dumbfounded, puzzled to her connection with me. The movie "Ghost" deals with the afterlife, murder and a touching love story of a different kind. Banker Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) stumbles upon a bank account with a huge sum attached. Sam confide in his discovery to his co-worker Carl Bruner (Tony Goldwyn). That evening Sam and his artistic live in girlfriend Molly (Demi Moore) are walking a deserted downtown street after seeing an off-Broadway play. Oblivious to their surrounding, Sam is shot and killed by a mugger , (who also steals Sam's wallet), as a horrified Molly leans over Sam's dead body. Meanwhile the metamorphosis of afterlife take place as a stream of light appears before newly deceased Sam. Sam ignores heavens call and remains along side Molly. Dead and frustrated Sam sees that his love Molly is now in danger as our murderer, Willie Lopez (Rick Aviles) comes back to Molly's loft the next day. With the help of Molly's cat our murderer Willie flees. Sam follows our scoundrel back to his Brooklyn flat. Sam stumbles upon a fortune teller business featuring two sisters and their clairvoyant Oda Mae Brown (Whoppie Goldberg). During one of Ms. Brown's sessions Sam interrupts a disingenuous seance as he gives his take on her fraudulent ways. Oda yells , "Who said that?" Oda apparently can hear every word Sam says even though she can't see him. Sam spends the rest of the time coaxing Oda to be a go between so he can warn Molly of the impending danger of the murderous Willie Lopez. The early stages of the film focus on the frustration of Sam not being able to move objects and speak to people. Oda as the interpreter give some comic relief during the entire film. Great music score featuring the sounds of "The Righteous Brothers". Some notable performances by renown character actor with distinguished features Vincent Schiavelli a agitated ghost constantly kicking Sam off his subway train. Great special effects showing the anomaly of the after life as Sam gets a lesson from our disgruntled Vincent. Nice twisting plot which takes you to a peaceful ending. The connection between this movie and my non recognizable person reminded me of Oda Mae trying to convince girlfriend Molly that she is actually in contact with her dead lover Sam. Molly is skeptical like I was telling her to leave. After a few minute It became clear to me who this woman was and it was my Father's personal nurse Angela. As the movie Ghost unfolded it became clear, this was quite a movie.
