The sensation caused by "The Love of People and Ghosts" was far higher than Wang Jie's expectations. The North American box office reached about $15 million in the first week, and the European region also earned $12 million in the first week, and in the Far East, the movie-going craze is unstoppable.

Compared with the original time and space, the reason why "People and Ghosts Are Not Gone" is more successful at this time, first of all, the fame of the male and female leading actors Audrey Hepburn and Wang Jie far exceeds that of the original Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, and secondly, in terms of the promotion of the film, because it is the work of Wang Jie, a big director, and he himself plays the leading role, it has attracted the attention of fans all over the world before it was released.

As a result of Wang's continued success, his novels and screenplays have been well received by industry insiders, with Hollywood companies such as Warner Pictures and Paramount Pictures asking more than once about the rights to adapt Wang's published novels. This made Wang Jie realize that he had been paid attention to by many people, which also promoted Wang Jie to speed up the development of his industry.

"Ghost Love" was not only an unprecedented success at the box office, but also received unanimous praise from critics and the media.

The Hollywood Reporter: In terms of story structure, "The Ghost Is Not Dead" tells just an ordinary love story of life and death, but director William was able to set the story in a unique marginal area: between the yin and yang worlds. So this has become a ghost movie and a fantasy film. The heroes and heroines love each other bitterly, but in the end, they can't see each other because of the strangeness of yin and yang. The film uses ghosts and ghosts to produce a series of suspense and twists and turns of the plot, the audience is immersed in fantasy and reality, sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, sometimes inspired by justice, and finally moved by the protagonist's unswerving love...... What impresses me the most is the theme song, the film interprets a romantic and poignant love story through a smooth narrative, which is heart-wrenching and tear-jerking, and more ingenious is accompanied by melodious music, which is perfectly combined with the story in the film, giving the audience a detached and aesthetic spiritual enjoyment. The call in the main theme "Unchained Melody" is a call to a lover that transcends any human boundary. The song was composed by the French composer Maurice Jal and sung by the "Brothers of Justice". It not only enhances the formal beauty of the story, but also adds infinite romance to the sincere love.

"Entertainment Weekly's Steve" commented more in terms of special effects: There is no doubt that our director William has a unique preference for special effects. The almost chaotic special effects shots in the movie are tantamount to a visual feast for audiences who like this aspect. Until now, I still haven't figured out how they managed to get the shot of the car going through the speeding subway. I heard that the Industrial Light & Magic company founded by director William is mainly staffed by people from the special effects department before 20th Century Fox. I believe that 20th Century Fox will regret it very much after watching this movie, in order to reduce expenses, they actually cut the entire special effects department, and lost a group of special effects elites, of course, now Fox is also under the command of director William......

Roger Ebert gave two thumbs up on the cover of the Los Angeles Times' entertainment section: The characters are the key to success in what makes a story moving. The protagonists William Rothschild King and Audrey Hepburn both have super-level performances, especially Audrey Hepburn's unemotional performance made me intoxicated and affectionately moved, reflecting the demeanor of a superstar. But what surprised me the most was William's performance, and it's hard to believe that this was his screen debut.

Another of the most fascinating characters in the film, the eccentric-looking Whoopi Goldberg, plays a kind-hearted but careful-eyed character vividly, and her gestures and every change in her eyes and expressions all reveal her excellent acting skills. Originally, this should be said to be a love tragedy, but the film skillfully blends horror and humor, and there is still no lack of lightness and activity. In particular, the humor of black actor Whoopy Goldberg makes the audience laugh heartily everywhere, skillfully dissolves the comedy element into the tragedy, and reveals a few traces of joy in the seriousness, which is not only pleasing to the audience, but also has a profound impact on deepening the theme of the film.

The San Francisco Chronicle commented: Even if yin and yang are separated, love will bloom into a gorgeous flower on the other side, "The Love of People and Ghosts" With a love that is about to come out of a different world, the suspense and twists and turns of the different paths of the man and the ghost are reduced, and the clever use of montage techniques and excellent time-space architecture reveals the sincere love with light and shadow aesthetics, the separation between Sam and his fiancée Merry in the movie is a tragedy under a conspiracy, but the unswerving love makes this movie give people too much beauty about love, and finally when the two are separated, the movie is tear-jerking and touching.

Yishu published a long film review in "Ming Pao Weekly" with the title of "Angels in the World": In the world of light and sound, there are always some emotions and sincerity that have precipitated under the years that touch us. They record the brilliance of the dripping water of the past life, turn it into a realistic illusion and re-present it in front of our eyes, conveying moving emotions and the beauty of life. Just like William's "Ghost Love", although it seems to us a long time and space, its tactful and beautiful artistic conception still exudes eternal light and shadow charm. The film uses a faint narrative style, inner emotional changes, and smooth lens language to show the most beautiful realm of love, and uses an eternal regret to separate time and space, allowing us to glimpse the flash of true love.

The film tells just an ordinary love story of life and death, but under the ingenious arrangement of director William, this emotional fable about love, memory, revenge and mourning is placed in a unique marginal area, and the heroes and heroines who love each other are also separated in the two worlds of yin and yang, which cannot be measured by distance. The director uses a combination of surreal and romantic film expression techniques to make the film wander in the real and unreal space, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes full of romantic fantasy, and sometimes into layers of suspense. It is these complex emotional atmospheres and twists and turns of the plot that give "Ghost Love" a unique charm that is both hazy and ambiguous, creating love classics and emotional fairy tales in this era.

If the parting of life has become unbearable for all people in love, then the death of Sam and Meili in "The Love of Ghosts" represents the ultimate pain of love. Tragedy occurs under the coincidence of the storyline, and the unswerving vow of love must also face challenges that transcend life and death. So the eternity and commitment of emotion are sublimated in the dream world of the movie.

In the film, Sam appears on the screen as an ordinary mortal despite being a ghost. In addition to the absence of a physical body, he felt pain and anger as much as we do. He grieves at the destruction of his beautiful life on earth, and fears the calamity that is about to befall her. He used his deep love and soul to protect his beloved, and under the power of true love, he finally completed the spiritual communication with Meili and left the world. The actor William Rothschild King Rothschild who plays Sam uses his restrained and profound acting skills to give this tragic character a rich human dimension, making the image of a brave, kind, and responsible lover jump to the screen, and the emotional theme of this film can be sublimated through the character of Sam. And the heroine's actress, Ms. Audrey Hepburn, also fully demonstrated her artistic talent as a generation of actresses, and gave Meili, a passionate, brave and strong modern woman, a faint melancholy temperament and a surging passion for life like sea water.

From the perspective of the main story line of the film, "The Love of People and Ghosts" should be regarded as a typical tragedy, but in order not to make the film popular in the traditional Hollywood-style love movie, director William specially invited black actress Whoopi Goldburg to play the kind and witty witch in the play, and used a comedic role highlighted above the tragedy to easily break the tone of the story that should be melancholy and subtle, and skillfully dissolve the humorous elements into the tragedy, revealing a few traces of joy in the faint sadness. And Whoopi Gothenburg's brilliant, natural witty temperament makes this sad love story exude sincere laughter everywhere.

As a movie, "Ghost Love" does have the power of a shocking classic, but what I love the most is the slightly sentimental ending song "Because of Love". This song, written and composed by director William and sung together with Zhou Huimin, has flown over the ever-flowing river of images with its melodious melody like crying, and has become the clearest sound memory of eternal love. And the graceful afterglow it leaves behind is like a fluttering kite, pulling the fickle emotional clouds and burning in the air.

When Audrey Hepburn watched the shadow of her beloved dissipate with tears, when the coin that slowly crossed the screen because of the power of love in the air again, let the beauty of regret warm the heart of true love. This kind of regret of love, like Venus who has lost her arms, can give people a beautiful touch. Imperfect stories will always sublimate regrets, and they also allow us to be with angels like bathing in the light of angels.
