There are no words

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2003)

There are no words to describe this movie, maybe because in fact there are so many that best fit it that it would be a crime to just use a few. It is excellent, not only because it's plot is so unique but because it takes human emotions to a deeper level. I personally enjoy the whole 'life's meaning' theme and the actual thought of having death take a vacation from it's dreaded routine to finding romance in an unexpected twist of fate. Both Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins's performance are brilliant, as they both go hand in hand in a secret of their own to their up-coming journey to that Next Place. When I watch this movie I seem to be confronted with a bundle of questions that unravel themselves as the movie continues-where do we go after we pass away? what is the meaning of life? why are we here? And I personally enjoy the dialogue between Joe and the Jamaican lady in the hospital as she explains child-like Joe that life is not all fun and games, and that he should take those colorful pictures that he was able to take through out his journey, before he takes unpleasant ones. I fully recommend this film, and hope that you might find it as unique and touching as I did.
