In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The 1995 film Casper, is the right of the impossible to manipulate the possible. The right of the impossible, is the lack of right of the possible. The lack of right is the gain of no right - the gain of no right is the ability of force.The manipulation of the possible is the ability of force of the possible: the ability of force is the inability of freedom, and the inability of freedom is a corrupt tyranny.The possible is reality. The corrupt tyranny of reality is the manipulation of reality. The manipulation of reality is the non- manipulation of the supernatural - the purity of the supernatural is the corrupt tyranny of reality.A corrupt tyranny is a pure freedom. The purity of the supernatural is the pure freedom of reality. A pure freedom is not reality. Reality is a corrupt freedom. The purity of the supernatural is a pure freedom that's a corrupt freedom.A pure freedom is a pure purity. The purity of purity is a pure purity that's a corrupt purity.The purity of purity is corruption that can't be defeated. Corruption that's exempt is a corruption that's exempt that's a corruption that's not exempt.In order for a corruption to have the right to exist, the pureness of the corruption needs to experience a corrupt version of itself: the ability of a weakness needs to experience the weakness itself so that the weakness can exist.The ability of a weakness, is the censorship of a power. The censorship of a power needs to experience the power so that the power can exist.Reality is dependent on the censorship of reality being identical to reality. The very definition of power is the need to connect power to the opposite of power.Power is connection. Connection is the connection of connection to disconnection. The connection of connection is the disconnection of connection: connection is the disconnection of connection to disconnection.Disconnection is an image. Connection is an image of image to no image.An image of image to no image is not image to no image - not image to no image is image and no image.Connection is the co-existence of image and no image - the co- existence of co-existence and no co-existence.Connection is no co-existence and no co-existence - intolerance and intolerance.Connection is when an observing force isn't responsible for a history of no control. Reality's objective is to possess a history of no control without the history having had any means to exist

Cathy Moriarty is the best thing in this movie, let's just make that real clear right now. Her acting was actually good, and I liked her in her villain character. As for Bill Pullman, not so much, I really felt like he was miscast in the father role. But then again, he didn't have very good material to work with here. The script is muddled and unfunny, and the movie as a whole just didn't really work, in my opinion that is. This is supposed to be a funny, cute, family movie about Casper the friendly ghost, but we didn't. I think the biggest reason this movie just doesn't make you laugh, it attempts, but it does not succeed, at least not with me it didn't. The actors seem kinda uncomfortable and unsure as to what the heck is going on, except for Cathy Moriarty, like I said before, she's good. I love her big line in this movie: "the b**ch is back!" Even though I was surprised to hear that line in a family movie, but I liked it, I thought it brought power, that was about the only line I thought was good lol. Christina Ricci was so so, she annoyed me at times, but she wasn't bad in this, she was just alright, nothing to point at and brag about, but nothing to be ashamed of either. Overall, this just did not work for me. 3/10, it only got that high really because of Moriarty.

Casper (1995): Dir: Brad Silberling / Cast: Christina Ricci, Bill Pullman, Cathy Moriarty, Eric Idle, Amy Brenneman: Mindless geek show unsuitable for children due to its excessive occult references. Lame plot introduces Bill Pullman plays a ghost therapist who communicates with spirits. Cathy Moriarty and Eric Idle play standard villains who hire him to rid ghost activity from a house so that they may gain a supposed treasure. Christina Ricci plays Pullman's daughter who befriends Casper who lives with three mischievous uncles. Director Brad Silberling does his best to create Casper's world with fantastic visual elements but that is about as far as the compliments go. Ricci is a decent young actress but this is pure cardboard. Pullman has no believable reactions to the ghosts, and his decision to get drunk and fall to his death is absolutely beyond moronic. Perhaps he was just reacting to the fact that he got casted in this sh*t to begin with. The whole scheme to bring him back to life is just about as stupid as this gets. Moriarty and Idle overact shamelessly as the idiotic villains. Their greed hits such a high pitch that they attempt to kill each other so that their spirit can get inside a safe to get the treasure. And this junk is suppose to be appealing to children. This all comes down to distasteful marketing that leaves Casper as not such a friendly ghost after all. Score: 3 / 10

Casper is such a lovely tale. I'm so thankful that in 1995 this sweet story made its way onto the big screen. It's so kind-spirited and so good! As a kid I watched Casper and was fond of it, and now some 20 years since that time, I've really come to realize and appreciate Casper for the genuinely sweet and quite precious film that it is, and you should too! It's a perfect film for kids! Casper the Ghost is so lovable! Casper the Ghost is an original and well-illustrated character to begin with, but the creative way that Casper and his ghostly friends are brought to life in this wonderfully magnificent family film is truly very special. Casper's sets and special effects are so impressive. Christina Ricci does such an incredible job as Kat. I adore her having only good things to say for the so very cute Christina. (She's so refined with her acting at a young age. She should of won the academy award!) Bill Pullman's excellent as Kat's dad, Dr. James Harvey, as he brings his real heart to the show. Casper has a beautiful, kind score. I rate Casper a 6 in critical regard but oh, big whoop! Who cares, really? What does that even matter? Casper is an all out 10 in all of the good ways that count, and that's what matters! An unforgettable, all-time 10, I love! Casper is sooo sweeeet!
