To be honest, the pottery scene is kinda underwhelming. Patrick was just mindlessly fiddling his hands. What could have been more impactful, is if they did the scene while Patrick was a ghost.

Ghost is a 1990 American romantic fantasy film directed by Jerry Zucker from a screenplay by Bruce Joel Rubin, and starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Goldwyn, Vincent Schiavelli, and Rick Aviles.

This was recommended to me by @patrickswayzeblog AGES ago, and I finally got around to watching it. I knew a lot of these, but some were brand new to me, and a few were genuinely shocking.

The reviewer, Minty Comedic Arts, has a really good take on what makes this movie so special, and his humorous and enthusiastic style of speaking is fun and engaging. Definitely worth a watch. (FYI: the last 5 minutes or so of the video—12:22 and on—are completely unrelated to Ghost, but still pretty funny.)

The biggest thing I took away from this video is just how well the stars aligned for Ghost. There were so many things that could have changed the film entirely—the stellar actors cast as the leads, Demi Moore’s now-iconic tomboyish hairstyle, and even the entire genre, might have been different! Instead, a hundred tiny coincidences combined to create this one near-perfect moment in cinematic history. The making of Ghost seems like it was almost as much of a miracle as the story the film tells onscreen. The tagline “You Will Believe” has gained a new dimension of meaning for me.
