Considered by many to represent a low point in Steven Spielberg's career, 1990's Always did suggest something of a temporary drift in the director's sensibility. A remake of the classic Spencer Tracy film A Guy Named Joe, Always stars Richard Dreyfuss as a Forest Service pilot who takes great risks with his own life to douse wildfires from a plane. After promising his frightened fiancée (Holly Hunter) to keep his feet on the ground and go into teaching, Dreyfuss's character is killed during one last flight. But his spirit wanders restlessly, hopelessly attached to and possessive of Hunter, who can't see or hear him. Then the real conflict begins: a trainee pilot (Brad Johnson), a likable doofus, begins wooing a not-unappreciative Hunter--and it becomes Dreyfuss's heavenly mandate to accept, and even assist in, their budding romance. The trouble with the film is a certain airlessness, a hyper-inventiveness in every scene and sequence that screams of Spielberg's self-education in Hollywood classicism. Unlike the masters he is constantly quoting and emulating in Always, he forgets to back off and let the movie breathe on its own sometimes, which would better serve his clockwork orchestration of suspense and comedy elsewhere. Still, there are lovely passages in this film, such as the unforgettable look on Dreyfuss's face a half-second before fate claims him. John Goodman contributes good supporting work, and Audrey Hepburn makes her final screen appearance as an angel. --Tom Keogh

とても似た設定だが、霊媒師役のウーピー・ゴールドバーグの怪演と、デミ・ムーアの可憐な演技により、犯罪性資金のマネー・ロンダリングと言う話題性、カップルへの訴求力、コメディタッチの面白さから、ハリウッド・ゴースト映画の代名詞の座を奪われた感がある。
それでも本作を見逃す手はない。
リチャード・ドレイファスはパトリック・スウェイジほどイケメンでないし、歳も食っている。
でも彼の、第二次世界大戦を生き残り、森林火災の消火航空機パイロットとして命を懸けて奮闘する男の背中はとても大きいからだ。
米国の深刻な森林火災と闘う危険さは、2017年公開の「オンリー・ザ・ブレイブ」を観ていただきたいが、陸上で木を切り倒したり、先行して風下に小さな火事を起こして、大火災の延焼を食い止めるための防火帯を作る山林消防隊の仕事は、本当に命懸けだ。
強風や風向き変化で山火事に包囲されたら全員焼け死ぬので、過去にも多くの死者を出している。時に彼らを守る為に消火剤散布を担うパイロット達も、大火災の直上を超低空で飛ぶので、実は物凄く高度なスキルと命懸けの仕事なのだと本作を見直して改めて感嘆した。
だからこそ、その危険な職業の恋人同士にしか判らない愛の深みと不安、心の苦しみが重く、しかも根アカなドレイファスが強がるから、それが逆に切なく観客を引き込むのだ。
また、ヒロイン役のホリー・ハンターは美人と言うより江戸っ子的なジャジャ馬娘、ゴーストとなった彼を優しく導く天使バップ役のオードリー・ヘップバーンも老女であり往年の若さはないし、竹馬の友アル役のジョン・グッドマンも太ったオッサン、若手の消火パイロット候補生のテッドですら背は高いが内向的でイケてない。
これら普通の人々による、普通にある話に、ゴーストが絡むから、リアルに歳を取れば取るほど泣けてくるのかも知れない。
「守護霊」とは、言い換えれば亡くした家族や祖先への敬意の裏返しだと思いたい。先達の方々の遺志や未来への期待に想いを馳せ、真っ直ぐに生きる事の大切さと美しさに思わず涙腺が緩む。
流石スピルバーグ、その仕掛けたるやお見事だ。
