      Someone Like Him.

      Ricky Gervais, I just looked at his photos, when I was young and now they are really different people, one looks so...cool, or a little cold, with a super sense of distance; the other looks so wide and peaceful , has affinity, something must have happened in those years, he has changed.

      The character played by the uncle in the film is a person who is relatively closed to the outside world. He doesn't like to stay in crowds, he doesn't like to socialize, and he doesn't like to have any...

      these little things

      Just bending over to pick up a toy, just reminding others of a trivial matter, and just helping others with a gift can make a person go from regretting a lifetime to worrying about them. Such small things mean so much to a person. The moment those ghosts were freed, the male protagonist's soul was also sublimated, so this little thing also had great significance to him.

      Don't do good for small things, and don't do bad things for small things. Naturally unpretentious and...

      caring about others is caring about yourself

      It's a very good movie, and the ending song is very good. After hearing the laughter at the end, I think it is really suitable to play such a movie on Halloween. I just watched a lot of film reviews and said the most about people's names. At first, I felt a little uncomfortable, but after hearing that laughter, I felt that it didn't matter so much. If I was joking, this level is still acceptable.
      I like the theme of the movie very much. Although I guessed at the beginning that the ending...

      tender to tears movie

      Anyway, I never thought that a ghost-themed movie would deeply move me. After watching it, it has been almost a year now. It didn't make me forget this ghost movie that once made my eyes wet. In fact, there are no ghosts at all. It is the intersection of some of the most precious human emotions, the intersection of all kinds of true love, lovers, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, friends...especially It was the young father who said that he helped his son find his beloved toy, and when...

      The ghost of the new century version is over. It's pretty good, it's warm and touching, I just like touching films, no matter if it's pretentious or not, at least the old bottle is filled with new wine. Just seeing the ghost's clothes fluttering in the wind, and it can pass through anything but the floor and sofa, I feel worried....

    Creative background

    David Koepp never thought of incorporating ghost stories into comedy before he created "Ghost Town". While passing by a dental clinic, he suddenly had the idea of ​​shooting "Ghost Town". At first he imagined a dentist who hated to interact with people, and liked to enjoy the peace of a patient who was unable to talk to him during dental treatment. Later David Koepp mentioned this idea to his screenwriter partner John Caps. The worst...

    Evaluation action

    Although "Ghost Town" has a ghastly title, the core is the same as " Ghost ", " I see a ghost in my left eye " and " Just Like Heaven ", but the psychic is the protagonist of this movie and it has a paragraph. The love triangle means that although the subject matter is not new, the relationship between the characters is still new, which is curious. In terms of scale, director David Koepp’s romantic comedy is only moderate, because the...

    • Gwen: We just get the one life, you know. Just one. You can't live someone else's or think it's more important just because it's more dramatic. What happens matters. Maybe only to us, but it matters.

    • Bertram Pincus: Only floss the teeth that you want to keep.

    • Gwen: You don't like crowds?

      Bertram Pincus: It's not so much the crowd, as the individuals within the crowd.
