Review: Meet Joe Black (1998)

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2012)

Where do I start from with this movie?
Brad Pitt's eyes are so dreamy, for the deeply romantic. Susan, the girl he falls in love with is as starry eyed and trusting in a really refreshing manner. Witty girls will win me over any day. Anthony Hopkins is imperious and dominant, his quiet intelligence a hallmark of his acting performance. A mention for the heel in this movie, Drew.
The ending to this movie is absolutely magnificent, with impressive dialogue amidst a light- filled, fireworks lit sky. I felt sorry when Death realizes Susan doesn't love him as death, but loves the young man's body he took. Joe Black and Hopkin's character walking over the distant arch and the young man who'd died earlier reappearing is a good touch.
Good screen chemistry from the cast, clever dialogue, witty romanticisms when Joe speaks to Susan. Good movie.
