Check out this video https://youtu.be/7OB3279Vt8Y
It asks a great question I've often thought about: what is the theme of Ghostbusters? Does it even have one?
Personally, I think Ghostbusters is a lot like Seinfeld. It's about nothing. Sure it has plot, but the main characters don't have any arc. Ray, Egon, Venkman & Winston are all the same people at the end of the movie. Usually this is seen as a weakness for a movie, at least with critics. Ghostbusters seems to be about the only movie that succeeds despite having no theme or arc or subtext.
If a mod is reading this, could you embed the video please? I can't seem to get it to work(apologies).
