Casper キャスパー (1)

キャスパー
今月はハロウィン月間ということで、先週は『E.T.』をお送りした。今週は『キャスパー』をお送りしよう。

キャスパーの本編にハロウィンのシーンが登場するわけではない(と思うんだけど)、やっぱり、"オバケ"ってことで。ハロウィンに観てみたい一本。

主演は、クリスティーナ・リッチ。彼女の名を一気に高めたアダムス・ファミリーから早22年ほど。10歳くらいだった彼女ももう33歳だ。

本作での彼女は14歳くらい。まだまだ可愛い子役だ。映画に登場するオバケのキャスパーも可愛い。親子で楽しめる一本だよ。


SUMMERY

Casper is a 1995 American family comedy fantasy film starring Bill Pullman and Christina Ricci, based on the Casper the Friendly Ghost animated cartoons and comic books. The ghosts featured in the film were created through computer-generated imagery.

PLOT

A spoiled woman named Carrigan Crittenden attends the reading of her late father's will and learns he has only left her the old Whipstaff Manor in Friendship, Maine. Learning there may be treasure hidden within the manor, Carrigan and her attorney Paul "Dibs" Plutzker visit the house but discovered it is haunted by a friendly yet lonely ghost, Casper, and worse, his three obnoxious uncles, Stretch, Stinkie, and Fatso.

Carrigan hires several professionals including Father Guido Sarducci and Ghostbuster Raymond Stantz to remove the ghosts with no success. While watching television, Casper learns of Dr. James Harvey, a paranormal therapist who helps ghosts complete their unfinished business and move on, and immediately falls in love with his daughter Kat. He manipulates Carrigan into contacting Dr. Harvey to visit the manor.
