Abstract
As we all know, the American movie Ghost (1990) relates the romantic relationship of Sam and Molly. With the assistance of Carl, his friend and close colleague in bank, they were ready to renovate an old house in New York and got ready to be married. However, one evening, on their way back from a theatre, Sam was attacked by a tall guy from behind unexpectedly. During their scuffle, Sam was lethally wounded while Molly stayed beside him crying for help. From this time on, the phantom of Sam starts to take revenge and protect Molly until he knew all the little details of his murder. It turned out that Carl proved to be the instigator who hired another bad gun keeper to kill him and attempted to secure the code of drawing a large sum of money about 4 million dollars. Coincidentally, HK movie Fly Me to Polaris (1999) deals with a similar love story almost a decade later, but tells it with different characters and plots. By closely watching these two movies, the author makes an attempt to sort out the strands and lines that weaves these beautiful and romantic love stories together from the perspective of Sino-US cross-culture communication.
