When we meet them they are starting to fix up their Tribeca loft with one of Swayze's co-workers, Tony Goldwyn. Patrick and Demi, those brat pack alumni are now eager young urban professionals, Demi makes and sells her own pottery and Patrick works in a bank, in the high end area of one, he's not just a teller. But she comes into the story in the middle of the film. If you were to describe Ghost I guess the best way you could describe it would be a drama/fantasy with some humorous moments, mostly as a result of the casting of Whoopi Goldberg as a fake psychic. But as it turns out, that's only the beginning of the story. Ghost also provided Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore with a couple of career roles as a typical yuppie couple settling in Tribeca when tragedy strikes one of them. It's always a pleasure when good music is heard on the airways and we have Ghost to thank for this little treasure making a comeback. If nothing else the popularity of the film Ghost guaranteed a revival of that great love song Unchained Melody. All in all, a great film with a great premise and worth seeing for Swayze and Goldberg. It is Whoopi Goldberg who steals the show in a performance that is outstanding, her presence doesn't jar at all and livens up what could have been a maudlin atmosphere. Demi Moore isn't as good, in fact she is just okay to start with but gets better through the course of the movie. Patrick Swayze gives one of his best performances as the murdered banker who tries to warn his girlfriend that she is in danger. The script is of good quality, and the story has a great premise with a poignant love-beyond-the-grave theme and a ending that proves that pure schmaltz actually does work. Unchained Melody is a touching song and used to great effect here. The production values are great, the special effects are a treat and the costumes, lighting, sets and cinematography are top drawer. And it also manages to mix the sentimental and the supernatural wonderfully. It is a film that manages to be both romantic and glamorous, sometimes even at the same time.
I recommend this to any fan of drama, romance, comedy, thriller or fantasy, as well as anyone interested in seeing a non-parody Zucker film and fans of the actors.I love Ghost. Much of it is derived from the situation of Swayze's character and his interaction with environment and other characters. The humor is very good and surprisingly tasteful for the theme.
#UNCHAINED MELODY GHOST PATRICK SWAYZE DEMI MOORE MOVIE#
I was completely into this movie all the way. This is driven by the emotions, by how the plot affects these characters. The special effects are grand, yet they don't take over the movie. Moore and Swayze have magnificent chemistry, you truly believe them as a couple. Goldberg provides a lot of comic relief, without being obnoxious. At times, there seemed to be a little too much humor and some scenes were maybe a tad long, but apart from that, there was not really anything with this film that was flawed. There are few, if any, flaws in directing. if you're reading this and you're thinking the same, trust me he pulls it off. Airplane and so forth), I was somewhat doubtful as to any other quality in the film than the humor of it. When I found that it was directed by a Zucker(yup. I will say that I found one twist somewhat predictable, but maybe I've just seen too many later movies before watching this. The plot is so interesting and intriguing, you can't help but watch, often at the very edge of your seat. This film had me from the first few moments of it. I didn't know I was in for such a strong experience. Coming in, I knew nothing about it but the famous clay-forming scene.
