Do you know that David Harbour characters in Stranger Things and We Have a Ghost have a major similarity between them

Did You Notice This Major Connection Between David Harbour’s &#8216;We Have a Ghost&#8217; and &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217;?

David Harbour recently starred in a new Netflix project which arrived on the
platform last week: We Have a Ghost, a supernatural horror comedy created by
Christopher Landon. The movie is an amazing goofy adaptation that focuses on the
youngest child of Presleys who recently moved to a haunted estate. People who
have already watched it might have explored the sad past of this silent ghost
who doesn’t remember anything about his life when he was alive. However, one
thing that many missed noticing is the backstory of this character that draws
inspiration from Harbour’s Stranger Things character.

According to Screenrant
[https://screenrant.com/we-have-ghost-david-harbour-stranger-things-role-twist/],
the characters played by David Harbour in two different Netflix projects share
striking similarities. The past life of Randy in We have a Ghost is connected to
Jim Hopper of Stranger Things. And it is not because the American actor has
portrayed these characters but because the tragic storyline of Hopper gives a
strong ground to this movie.



The comedy drama reveals that the ghost died after being separated from his
4-year-old daughter. While the chief police also had a similar story who lapse
into alcohol and drug addiction after his young daughter died of cancer. Both
Randy and Hopper face the same tragic fate expect their stories switch sides
with life and death.

Fortunately, they both finally get another chance at happy endings. As Jim
Hopper meets Eleven, whom he later adopts, whereas Randy reunites with his now
50+ year-old daughter June at the end.


STRANGER THINGS PARALLELS ARE UPLIFTING FOR WE HAVE A GHOST

The resemblance between We Have A Ghost’s Randy and Jim Hopper of Stranger
Things turned out fruitful for the Netflix film. Because if we think about it,
the revelation of Ernest’s life history connects the viewers with his emotions.
Since viewers are already aware of the agony and pain Hopper went through after
losing Sara.



Therefore, people can empathize with the man who became a ghost after endlessly
suffering from that loss. Although Randy and Hopper do not have any common
relation in the matter but their fatherhood is the key to everything they are.
