On March 31, the fantastic (in every sense of the word) “Ghost” with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze will leave the platform’s catalog. A cult film to (re)discover urgently, therefore.
If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, then Ghost is surely one of the films that rocked your childhood. This fantasy drama, tinged with romance, has become a classic of the genre over the years. It must be said that at the time, the press shunned it, while spectators flocked to darkened theaters to discover this beautiful love story.
Because in addition to its famous torrid scene which continues to get people talking, it is above all the couple played by Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore who made thousands of people dream and cry.
They play a New York couple who love each other passionately. But everything changes when Sam Wheat is attacked in the street and shot dead. To his great surprise, he becomes a ghost and manages to communicate with a hysterical clairvoyant. He then tries to contact his wife and discovers who wanted to kill him.
A ghost film like no other
With a rating of 3.9/5 for more than 30,000 ratings on AlloCiné, Ghost is one of the essential films of the careers of Moore and Swayze, but also of the brilliant Whoopi Goldberg in the role of a somewhat clairvoyant. shifted. His performance allowed him to win the first Oscar of his career that year.
For AlloCiné spectators, director Jerry Zucker manages to make Ghost a timeless and moving romance which has magnified the talent of the two main actors. Here are some selected excerpts:
“A beautiful film, sincere and deep. The mixture of fantasy and love film works very well, and the whole is a great success from Jerry Zucker, who makes his best film here. Especially since Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze find it there their most beautiful roles. Really good, with superb music to boot.” (Caine78)
“What a marvel. How can we not remain indifferent to this film? The script is superb, certainly the best role of Demi Moore who is very appreciable in this film. Patrick Swayze is surprising, dazzling, endearing. This film about death and spirituality, this adaptation is in the world of cinema one of the best performances that the 7th art has given us. HAT, it’s a great job. To see and rewatch.” (NeonLain)

“Poetry, emotion, humor, romance, and a vision of death in several forms. A great success that easily brings tears to the eye for the beauty of its story.” (Eselce)
“Simply put, Ghost is one of the best films of the 90s, without a doubt. He is bright, optimistic, full of charm and tenderness. Some will say that it has a little marshmallow side, that’s not completely wrong at times, but what good does it do? And honestly, I think for a date night, we haven’t done better since.” (Yannickcinephile)
“The remake of allways. All tenderness and tears. Excellent smiles. Moore exceptional.” (Pascal I)
