The famous pottery sequence has taken on a life of its own in skits and re-imaginings. There are a number of reasons Ghost is considered a soppy romance, mainly due to one scene. Through sheer love and perseverance, Sam is able to reaffirm his love for Molly and settle his unfinished business. When he discovers he was murdered in a premeditated attack and Molly is in danger he enlists the help of Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg) a fraud psychic who is distressed to learn she can hear him, to communicate to Molly for him. But unbeknownst to the grieving Molly, Sam is still hanging around, he has not crossed over to the other side due to a desire to know why he was killed. Sam Wheat (Swayze) and Molly Jensen (Moore) are a happy couple moving in together and planning a future until Sam is killed in a mugging gone wrong. OK so it’s not hard to guess what’s coming, I mean it’s in the title, but the how’s and why’s are what make this movie and make it so much more than just a chick flick. There are definite hints of something in the dialogue, which only adds to the build-up. Ghost is considered a chick flick one for the girls with a glass of wine and a box of tissues – true it is that but there is so much more to it.įrom the ominous blast of music introducing the title, you know this is not going to be sunshine and rainbows, the opening scenes establish the characters and there is already a sense of foreboding as we watch this happy young couple starting their life together in a great New York apartment. I have fond memories of watching it repeatedly, though I was drastically too young to see the film, but now I can look back and laugh at the years of nightmares its antagonists gave me.
For as long as I can remember Ghost has been a special film.
