Product Information

This modern fantasy stars Anthony Hopkins as William Parrish, a wealthy New York City media mogul who suffers a heart attack on the eve of his 65th birthday; although he survives, he senses that his death is near. On the same day, Parrish's younger daughter, Susan (Claire Forlani), meets a handsome young stranger (Brad Pitt) at a neighboring coffee shop and is instantly smitten. As they part, the young stranger is killed and his body is occupied by Death, who is coming to Earth to warn Parrish that his death is, indeed, imminent. Death enters the Parrish household disguised as Joe Black, the handsome stranger, and although Parrish understands Death's intentions he lets the family believe that Joe Black is a young business associate. Susan is shocked to find the familiar young man at her family dinner that evening, and, as she begins a passionate love affair with the debonaire stranger, she has no idea that she has fallen not for the young stranger from the coffee shop but for Death himself. In an effort to prolong his life and his daughter's happiness, William agrees to take Joe on a tour of human life that includes board meetings, family parties, and, ultimately, romance. As long as Joe falls in love, Parrish remains alive. This version was inspired by the Alberto Casella play DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY and the subsequent 1934 film.

  • Meet Joe Black DVD, you must first suspend disbelief.

    Meet Joe Black on DVD , great story, but long 3+ hour movie duration results in some degradation with standard DVD video quality. In the beginning of the movie, you must first suspend your disbelief, if not most logic and reason. Clarification of the nature if the "Death" spiritual being is sadly lacking, and mostly only implied -- understanding of the story is pretty much left up to viewer's imagination & interpretation. I also purchased the Blu Ray version where the video quality is superior to DVD, but encountered a problem trying to obtain 2.1 stereo audio playback. Voices on Blu Ray were nearly inaudible on two-channel stereo speakers, The Blu Ray version appears to only offer 5.1 audio playback - no stereo 2.1 available. I got the DVD in used condition, at a mere fraction of the price of a Blu Ray disk.

  • Excellent Movie

    I really bought this movie to hear all of Thomas Newman's amazing music. I expected a good movie with Anthony Hopkins and brad Pitt together. They were great together in Legends of the Fall. I read a review from a guy that is a professional movie critic. He said the movie at 3 hours was long and scenes moved slowly but it gives you very strong insight into the characters and you get to know them well. The movie does not seem like it's 3 hours long. Clair Forlani has the most unique and beautiful eyes on the planet and she is perfect for the part. When I watch movies, I am never a critic. I believe they are real and use the next 2 or 3 hours to wrap it around me like a warm blanket and thoroughly enjoy the ride. This touches the heart for sure. My wife died a few years ago so it meant more for me. Simply a very well done movie and Thomas Newman has a way of making magical music that touches your soul.

  • beautiful movie so emotional in how it affect each person

    It truly makes you think about your own life. Think about what in print you have left in life you are your own carbon foot print was it good or bad. In time we all have to ask and answer that question in life. Anthony Hopkins love him, Brad Pit talented, and Claire Forlani talented and she had beautiful eyes.
