Not seeing the previews for the movie left me rather shocked at the outcome and direction this film took. It was said to be a "chick flick" by many. Astonishing enough it was a rather cheesy romance that had a great cast to carry the picture into money. It also had a good story line with great possibilities. zillionaire Saintly William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) is going to turn 65. His daughter Allison (Marcia Gay. Harden) is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to throw him the party of the millennium. Death (Brad Pitt) takes over the body of a young charm- - ing, not to mention good looking, man. Death's on a holiday and his mission is to take a vacation and William Parrish's (death's next victim) job is to entertain Death for a few extra days of life. Death is introduced as Joe Black, who proceeds to fall in love with Parrish's other beautiful daughter, Susan (Claire Forlaini). For Parrish, Susan and the rest of the family, the consequences of this romance are profound, complicated, and bittersweet. The and highlight romance of "Meet Joe Black" is a profound scene centered a coffee in shop. Demonstrated is the foreplay between Susan and a young man upcoming business (Brad Pitt). The two meet and exchange witty and meaningful phrases. Bidding farewell and walking in separate directions, glancing at each other, yet missing. Needless to say the young man stops in the middle of the road and hit by a trm effects wt special great, but the scene w rather comical. It was shtx ing to see him get hit yet effects and overall effect maybe not seeing him in film again actually made audience laugh.
