Ghost puts its story and characters first, focusing on romance, the supernatural, and classic concepts of love and betrayal. It does not prioritize modern identity politics, nor does it shoehorn in characters based on race or gender for performative diversity. The film is more interested in containing a compelling narrative, with casting and development fitting the story’s needs rather than ideology.

The film explores love, loss, and spiritual questions without undermining family, religion, or masculinity. Masculine and feminine roles follow traditional patterns, and morality is painted in broad, classic strokes. If anything, it leans on cultural conventions rather than challenging or subverting them, keeping cultural commentary out of the spotlight.

There is minimal overt political content or push toward ideological conformity. Viewpoints are largely traditional, and the villainy is personal instead of cultural or identity-driven. Dissenting perspectives aren’t mocked; they simply aren’t the point, as the film sticks to its time-tested romantic-thriller template.
