Rob Lamb和Joe McCormick对1979年的电影《鬼玩人》进行了评论,他们认为这部电影具有超现实的梦境品质,其标志性元素如飞行的球体,是无法被其他电影轻易复制的。电影中梦境和现实的界限模糊,情节发展如同嵌套的梦境一般,令人着迷。他们还讨论了电影中其他元素,例如矮人、高个子男人等角色,以及电影的音效和配乐。他们认为,电影的成功离不开其出色的音效和配乐,以及年轻导演唐·科斯卡雷利所展现出的独特视角和创造力。
两位主持人还详细分析了电影中主要角色的年龄设定、性格特点以及演员的表演,并对电影的制作过程、成本以及导演的创作理念进行了深入探讨。他们认为,电影中体现出的年轻活力和不成熟感,与导演唐·科斯卡雷利在拍摄时只有23岁的年龄相符。此外,他们还对电影中一些难以解释的随机事件和梦境场景进行了分析,并对电影的主题和寓意进行了探讨。
