Interesting way of storytelling.

Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2001)

I must say I liked this movie for two things. 1: Most movies will sum up the story in one or two plotlines, but this movie has several plotlines going at once, and it works pretty well. I am fascinated by the way you can see the movie from different characters point of view, and it's like seeing a different movie. 2: In this movie you can see Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins deliver some of the best acting they have ever done. They are really good as a team. (Watch "Meet Joe Black")
The downside is also the diversity in the plotlines. The movie attempts to tell as different stories as possible, and at times it all becomes a bit sought and unrealistic. Also some of the scenes about the relationship between Brad Pitt and the storyteller, his indian mentor, gets a bit too much. Still I gave this movie 8/10, very recommendable.
