Flim Review, on Meet Joe Black
A couple of days before his sixty fifth birthday, Bill Parish, a business tycoon (Hopkins), starts to have premonitions about death. The recent heart attacks he has been having, which are accompanied by voices lead him to this premonitions. Although Bill Parish has always had a privileged life being the patriarch of a loving family, a successful leader and chief in a communication corporation, and a squire of a country estate; this disturbance (the voices) makes his life very uncomfortable and almost impossible. In spite of the way he feels, Parish continues his daily routine and lives the same life as before.Parish has a very strong relationship with his daughter, Susan (Fortani); he wishes that she would think twice before she makes her decision to marry Drew, her boyfriend, (Weber). Parish describes love; "I want you to levitate," he tells her "I want you to dance like a dervish." Susan understands what her father is telling her but simply hasn't encountered a man that makes her feel that way. That morning Susan notices a young handsome man at a coffee shop (Pitt). She is intrigued by his looks and his chatty personality. This encounter makes Susan realize what being levitated means. She had met this guy only that morning and
I really enjoyed the script; it wasn't lame or fake, which it could have been easily because of the plot. You would think that the movie would be pointless by now; although the film is now at it's staring point, it was a beginning of an incarnation. When both strangers walk their separate ways, in their minds they had both been swept away. Martin Brest was born in Bronx, New York. His life basically evolves around Joe's decisions and that is the reason why Bill makes that comment. Death had taken the physical form of the young deceased man in order to take a break from the dying world. " Susan then responds with, "Why do I feel like if everyone is saying goodbye to me?" Bill replies, "Just answer me Susan, no regrets!" Susan hugs and kisses her father and replies with, "no regrets!"My favorite camerawork in the movie was at the end, when Parish and Black are walking up the hill, this scene is shot in a soft focus that is tracking the character in the opposite direction (following the character from far away) and then a couple of seconds later all you see is thier shadows (the shadow of Death). " Susan replies, "Tell me you love me now!" Joe replies, "I love you now, I love you always! And thank you for loving me. Parish asks Joe Black (man at the coffee) shop, "why me?" Joe Black responds with, "because you're the best instructor Bill! Who's more powerful, intelligent, and wiser than Bill Parish?"The introduction of Joe Black to the family was quite awkward in the sense that Parish knew they would not understand why this stranger, who Parish names Joe Black, is staying at their house. Brest next developed the sci-fi thriller "War Games" (released in 1983) but was pushed off in favor of John Badham. Susan is unaware that the man eating dinner with her family is a stranger, a different person from that morning. Parish also notices the sense of attraction between Susan and Joe and is not too fond of the fact that his daughter is falling in love with Death. The movie could have been better though if the actors were expressive. You can tell that the writers of this film, Ron Osborn, Jeff Reno, Kevin Wade, and Bo Goldman created every character's personality and traits concerning either envy, loathe, disagreement, or love, interest, and passion to evolve around this mystery man Mr.
