``A Ghost Story'' A cute and profound fantasy story, why it was produced in secret *Spoiler alert

Exquisite ghost texture created through trial and error

However, the biggest surprise of this film is the casting of Casey Affleck in the lead role. After all, a famous actor of his stature continues to stand in front of the camera completely covered in white sheets for over two-thirds of the film. He turns into a ghost and doesn't say a word, and outsiders can't even tell if it's Casey or not. But there's no doubt that he's in those sheets. We can only believe that. At the same time as the death of the main character, the creator and we are strongly connected by this mysterious relationship of trust.

The creators were forced to go through various trials and errors in order to create the shape of this reliable ghost. If we just put Casey in that white suit, her body lines would be exposed too much, and she wouldn't be able to express the "cuteness" that was depicted in the picture. Moreover, if there is even the slightest chance of imagining that someone is hiding there, the balance of ``strangeness'' that underpins this film will be lost. The creators continued to strive for a unique symmetry and roundness, saying that it was neither that nor that, and in the end they solved that calculation by making Casey wear a felt hat and even a petticoat. It is said that he has reached the state where he was.

Furthermore, in the early stages of filming, they tried to move the ghost more energetically, trying to bring out its individuality (more specifically, Casey's personality) through the series of movements, but director Lowry decided, ``This won't work!'' . After scrapping most of the footage I'd shot up until that point, I pursued the unique "pause" in which the ghosts just stand there, staring at things as they happen, and when they move, they move very slowly. It was.

Although it was an experimental project that he personally liked to jump into, this choice forced director Lowry to experience the pain of childbirth every day. I feel like the way the heroine, Rooney Mara, desperately struggles to obtain something that has no clear answer, is similar to the ghost who keeps clinging to a pillar in an attempt to get hold of the pieces of paper that the heroine Rooney Mara has collected. .
