Blunt Film

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2004)

Ghost has an interesting premise and good use of suspense. Whoopi Goldberg's character stuck out too much and the movie's comedy aspect probably didn't mix in with its romantic aspect. Nevertheless the romance was done well and the theme music was nice. Ghost's Christian spiritualism may partly explain its box-office success. Character seemed to be a product of plot, and not the other way around. Hence many of the characters are stereotypical. Skin color seems to correlate with wealth and intelligence. At times the romance lacked subtlety, but romance is hard to pull off without reverting to clichÃ©s.
7/10
