If there is any film that shows the brilliance of Brad Pitt, this is it.

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 1999)

This movie is so bittersweet, that it moves me every time. What gets me even more than the simpleness of this story, is the incredible performance of Brad Pitt. Is ability to transform from an ordinary (pardon the expression)joe, to death is an amazing feat. His ability to find joy in the little things he doesn't know as death, such as peanut butter, intrigued me to no end. It was such an experience to watch him portray death as such an innocent, that it literally took my breath away. Not to take away from Anthony Hopkins, who, as always, gave an amazing performance. If you are willing to take 3 hours, and believe me, it feels like maybe 1 hour, to watch this movie, it would be worth your time. Every moment was exquisite. A movie worth many Oscars, had it only been given a different year.
