Little anecdote for you: I asked my mum to record Ghost off the TV for me on VCR when I was about 12. Somehow – and I still don't know precisely HOW given the limited tech – she managed to EDIT OUT the pottery scene before I watched it?!
This hits the nail on the head of exactly what is great about this film. The development of the relationship between Sam and Oda Mae is its beating heart. Even in the emotional love scene at the end I think the most important aspect is Oda Mae allowing Sam to borrow her body.
Perhaps controversially, I don’t like the pottery scene at all. It does nothing for me.
I really wish Substack allowed GIFs in comments, so I could post one of Hannah Waddingham in a robe, waving a bell, shouting, "Shame!" for blaspheming the pottery scene. Ha!
She did indeed, but that shows you how silly the Oscars are. She was the co-lead. She had more screen time than many former Best Actor/Actress winners, too.

Sounds like your mum edited out the hottest scene in film history for her twelve-year-old - ha!

😂😂😂 Fair! I already told you I don’t think I like romance.
Fabulous -- all of these synopses.
I hope they help.
I love Ghost.
