Orchestral emotion

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2003)

The critics never gave this a film a good start in life. Bring together Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt in the same film on one occassion, Legends of the Fall and the magic works, try the same again and you may think it can't work as well. Meet Joe Black rises above it all, as it takes flight with the innocence of a wandering spirit, whose only task in eternity, is to take a life to the next place. Moving into the bodily form of an unknowing participant (Brad Pitt) named only as Joe Black, he spends a holiday in the presence of a wealthy man of stature and decadence, William Parrish (Hopkins), delivering heart warming charm and wit, as he falls in love with Susan (Claire Forlani) the daughter of William Parrish. His main task, to take his host to the next place once his holiday has concluded.
Experience this movie, don't simply watch it, from the charm of all the charcters to the heart pounding orchestrations at the end, when Joe knows his time is over.
Believe me when I say, you will feel this movie.
