Fascinating Video Explains How The Classic GHOSTBUSTERS Movie is About Nothing

The classic 1984 film Ghostbusters is one of my favorite films of all time. I love that movie and I never get tired of watching it. It's just an already great film, only there's one problem. Apparently, the movie is about nothing! 

New York City filmmaker Patrick Willems has created a fantastic video essay where he dives into the film to explain why this beloved classic is a film about nothing. It's both fascinating and frustrating because he makes several solid points. I don't want to hear that one of my favorite movies is about nothing!

He explains how the characters have no story arc and that none of them really change throughout the course of the film. He also explains that there really isn't a primary conflict in the story. Along the way, he shares ideas on how the movie could have been about something. 

It's a very interesting look at the movie from an angle I've never seen it from before. Check it out and let me know what you think.
