The West German film "Castle Ghost" is a political satire. It features a unique artistic expression and style. Not only are there long segments of rap in the film, but even the opening credits listing the director, actors, and crew are presented in rap form. Additionally, the arrangement of the plot and the depiction of characters are both entertaining. This film was shot in the 1950s and provides a sharp satire on the revival of fascism in West Germany, in line with the political climate of the time. The prologue begins over a hundred years ago when a group of outlaws is captured by the authorities. The government locks them in a hotel basement, building a wall to suffocate them to death. A century later, the hotel is demolished, leaving these ghosts to seek refuge in a nearby castle. From then on, they haunt the castle, having a great time. The castle's owner is a debt-ridden countess, whose creditors want to force her to pay off her debts with the castle, but she firmly refuses. The creditor's son, ordered by his father, sneaks into the castle to inspect the building's structure, but unexpectedly falls in love with the countess and immediately sides with her against his father. Meanwhile, the authorities plan to use the castle to host a foreign prince. To help the countess out of her predicament, the ghosts steal the prince's jewels and give them to her, which ends up landing her in jail. The ghosts quickly set out to rescue her, appearing on the streets and in shops of Bonn, creating a commotion, and even defending the countess in court, declaring themselves ghosts, which elicits laughter from the audience. An American in the gallery shows great interest in them and offers a large sum of money to hire them as astronauts. The ghosts give this money to the countess and then board a rocket to fly to the moon. The film uses this fanciful story to satirize the political climate, society, and various social ills of the time, encouraging the audience to reflect amidst the laughter!
