RIP Ivan Reitman the director of Ghostbusters

This past Saturday  The film world lost one of the greatest comedy directors ever been Ivan Reitman. But he’s also one of the greatest directors that ever directed a science fiction, horror, or fantasy film ever also. Of course, the films I was discussing are Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters  2 (1989), and one of The producers of  Ghostbusters answered the call(2016)  And Ghostbusters: afterlife (2021) And a latter film Was directed by his son Jason Reitman.

All I can do for tribute is to say I am thankful for him working on this franchise that I deeply love. Ghostbusters (1984)  is my favorite film of all time.  I’m aware he had directed a lot of other films some of them I have seen like Junior, twins, kindergarten cop, and the Howard Stern film private parts.  But every time I hear his name I think Ghostbusters.

The Ghostbusters media franchise has a special place in my heart And to say this was my thing when I was a kid was stating it lightly. when I was a kid  I  literally said I wanted to be a ghostbuster when I grew up many times. and once I got into the working world The story about former college professors that became blue-collared professionals that saved the world spoke to me because I am myself a blue-collar worker. At the time I was a janitor now I work at a butcher shop but still, That idea of the everyman saving the world spoke to me It’s not just a person that is college-educated or tightly trained that could save the world but anyone.

without Ivan Reitman’s guiding hand  Is one of the reasons Ghostbusters became a big hit in the ’80s and still is a cultural phenomenon today.

My heart goes out to his family, friends, and all All the people he worked with. I asked whoever reads this to keep those people right now in your thoughts and prayers Like I am.
