>> Sunday, February 6, 2011

The Ghost Writer is a political thriller directed by Roman Polanski, based on the novel Ghost by Robert Harris. The film celebrated its world premiere in 2010 at the Berlinale 2010, where he competed for the Golden Bear. That same year, the production with the European Film Prize was awarded.

The film opens with a scene on a ferry. When the ferry docks, drive all the cars off the vessel, except one. Then a body is shown on a beach. When the body is Mike Mcara, the ghostwriter of Adam Lang, a former British prime minister. It is believed that he committed suicide, in which he jumped from aboard the ferry, as is found in his blood, a high concentration of alcohol. Then declared a successful British Ghost Writer, "The Ghost" to complete the memoirs of the willing former British Prime Minister Adam Lang, the greatest opportunity in the professional life of the Ghosts. He was offered a salary of $ 250,000.

The Ghost Writer is flying to the U.S., where he worked with Lang on his memoirs. Adam Lang is advised because of its role in the Iraq war under pressure. He is accused by former British foreign minister and UN representative Richard Rycart to have kidnapped and tortured terror suspects, and has retreated to the island of Martha's Vineyard. Together with a small entourage, including his wife Ruth and Amelia assistant, he feels in the bunker-like house of a patron safe from extradition, because do not recognize the United States of America of the International Criminal Court. The followers live under tight security. The Ghost lives on the top draw in a hotel on the island, but must be relatively fast on the estate of his patron, as is well known that long on the island and the hotel packed with journalists. Lang then flies to Washington DC to prove his innocence.

The U.S. considers McAras manuscript a threat to national security and it must therefore not leave the house. The Ghost is nearing inconsistencies in Lang's life as he would like to clear McAras room. It takes place in an envelope that was taped to the underside of a drawer, several images from Lang's time at Cambridge University. The Ghost, makes for a short trip by bike, the acquaintance of an old man who tells of the night, was washed up in the McAras corpse. The reports of flashlights at the scene and argues McAras corpse could have been washed up there, impossible because it does not allow the flow. Lang's wife Ruth also doubts the official version of history. The Ghost now draws back into the hotel and runs McAras old car, which was the beginning of the film on the ferry. The navigation system is still stores a destination address. The Ghost was followed by the navigation system and come to Paul Emmett, the man Mcara visit before his death. Paul Emmett is also visible in the photos from Lang's youth and the Ghost asked him about these photos. Emmett responded relatively polite, but it gives little information, and asks the ghost to leave. Now the life of the Ghosts is threatened when he visited the Paul Emmett drives back. He is haunted by a black car, it can be dependent by a trick. However, when he will return by ferry to the island, the car appears again and the two passengers begin to look for the Ghost. However, this time to escape from the ship and remains on the mainland and settles down in a hotel. In his hotel room he calls Rycart, whereupon he wants to meet him.

He communicates with the plaintiff Richard Rycart, had already made contact with the Mcara. While Rycart and Ghost talk, long calls and wants to meet him at the airport. The Ghost face during a long flight with his suspicions, he, Long, had links with the CIA. Lang denies everything off and shot by a former soldier whose son was killed in the Iraq war, just as they leave the aircraft.

It turns out that Mcara has hidden in the manuscript a message, not long after, but his wife Ruth is a CIA agent. The message is hidden in the beginning of each chapter. After Ruth's statement she advised her husband constantly, so in fact he did not act as a politician within the meaning of the U.S., but his wife had made the decisions. In the last scene, just after Ruth's CIA activity is blown, the Ghost is hit by a car at high speed. Presumably he is dead, because the pages of the manuscript blow down the street.
