Bill Parrish (Anthony Hopkins), businessman and devoted family man, is about to celebrate his 65th birthday. Less is more.Meet Joe Black Movie Rating NR, 3 hr Movie More Info. The movie contains elements that make it very good, and a lot of other elements besides. That there is also time for scenes about sibling rivalry and a corporate takeover is not necessarily a good thing. And it is a meditation on the screen presence of Brad Pitt. It is a movie about a woman who falls in love with a concept.

On the brink of his 65th birthday, he senses that death is near. He hears a voice-his own-in his head. Death, who takes the form of a young man, asks a media mogul to act as a guide to teach him about life on Earth, and in the process, he falls in love with his guide's daughter.As the movie opens, a millionaire named William Parrish ( Anthony Hopkins) is pounded by a heart attack, the soundtrack using low bass chords to assault the audience.

He says all the right things. A few hours later, in a coffee shop, she meets a stranger (Brad Pitt). Lightning could strike.вЂќ It does.

A job like that, you want a more experienced man.No matter. This Death doesn't even know what peanut butter tastes like, or how to kiss. Isn't Death an emissary from God? Shouldn't he know these things? He's been around a long time (one imagines him breaking the bad news to amoebas). The body of the young man is now occupied by Death, who has come to inform Parrish that his end is near.He does not recognize Susan. That night at dinner, she is startled to find him among her father's guests. They confess they really like each other.

Pitt plays them as a compliment to himself. Meryl Streep once said that an experienced actor knows that the words вЂњI love youвЂќ are really a question. Pitt is a fine actor, but this performance is a miscalculation. As both the young man in the coffee shop and as вЂњJoe BlackвЂќ (the name given him by Parrish), he is intensely aware of himself-too aware.

His orgasm plays in slow motion across his face like a person who is thinking, this is way better than peanut butter.I was not, in short, sold on the relationship between Susan and Joe. (As they're buffeted by their competent male lovers, I am sometimes reminded of a teenager making the cheerleader team, crossed with a new war widow.) A male actor would have to be very brave to reveal such loss of control, and Pitt's does not cry out. Actresses have become skilled over the years at faking orgasms on camera, usually with copious cries of delight and sobs of passion.

Hopkins invests the dying millionaire with intelligence and acceptance, and he talks wonderfully well. One wonders-is this the first time Death has tried this approach? Parrish strikes a deal with him (he won't die as long as he can keep Joe interested and teach him new things) and takes him everywhere with him, including board meetings, where Joe's response to most situations is total silence, while looking like the cat that ate the mouse.The Parrish character, and Anthony Hopkins' performance, are entirely different matters. Joe Black is presented as a being who is not familiar with occupying a human body or doing human things. There is no person there for her, just the idea of perfect love.

There are times when he handles his talks with Death so surely that you wish Heaven had sent a more articulate negotiator.The movie's ending takes too long. He makes a realistic assessment of his chances, sees what advantages he can extract, negotiates for the best possible terms and gracefully accepts the inevitable. (He's ethical, sensitive, and beloved-the first movie rich man who could at least squeeze his head and shoulders through the eye of the needle.) What's fascinating about Parrish is that he handles death as he has handled everything else. Quince is married to Allison ( Marcia Gay Harden), who knows Susan is her father's favorite but can live with that because Parrish is such a swell guy. His key business relationships are with the snaky Drew ( Jake Weber), whom Susan dumps for Joe, and with the avuncular Quince ( Jeffrey Tambor), his loyal but bumbling son-in-law.

Even at the very end, when a line or two of direct dialogue would have cleared the air, he's still talking in acrostic clues.Still, there's so much that's fine in this movie, directed by Martin Brest (вЂњ Scent of a WomanвЂќ). The film would play better if he didn't always have to talk in epigrams. Joe Black begins to get on our nerves with his knack for saying things that are technically true, but incomplete and misleading.
