Review of Meet Joe Black (1998) by Misan A — 08 Nov 2010

I LOVE this movie. Mostly a romantic drama with some fantasy: Death becomes curious and decides he doesn't know enough about life so he gets to know a man and his family. He discovers what is so great about life.

..love. The script and score are incredible but yes it does move a little slowly. Think about a real life conversation or dialogue with a loved one, the characters here are allowed time to think before responding to one another.

I especially enjoy the lines William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) is given, he's wise and successful yet incredibly romantic... This is no action film, I really don't get what the critics are so put off about, I guess there's a lack of delight in human emotion.
