The success of the "Ghost" flick needs no elaboration. The songs of Ghosts are so beautiful that almost everyone can hum its harmonies. The love tragedy topped 200 million dollars at the box office in its first four months of showing and is still considered a classic.
From the framework of the storyline, "Ghost" is just an ordinary love story of separation between life and death, but the writer-director deliberately innovated and planted the story in a unique fringe area - between the realm of yin and yang. Thus it becomes a ghost movie, a fantasy movie. The hero and heroine love each other bitterly, but in the end, because of the yin and yang, they can not see each other to tell each other their feelings. The movie is a series of suspenseful and bizarre plots generated by ghosts and spirits, in which the audience is immersed in fantasy and reality, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes inspired by justice, and ultimately touched by the protagonist's love for life and death. The movie also uses a lot of stunts to make the hero can go through walls, hidden and invisible, omnipotent, which undoubtedly makes the audience jaw-dropping.
Originally, it should be said that this is a love tragedy, but the director is active atmosphere, black star Whoopi Goldberg's performance is excellent, witty, everywhere let the audience send out a heartfelt laughter, the comedy component cleverly dissolved into the tragedy, in the seriousness of the reveal a few joy, both for the audience to see, but also to deepen the theme of the film has a profound impact. And Demi Moore's forgettable performance left the audience drunk and y moved, reflecting the style of a first-class star.

Unfortunately, her powerful father betrothed Viola to the cold-blooded Earl of Wessex, a poor man with an empty title. The marriage has been authorized by Elizabeth I herself, and there is no possibility of repudiation.
