Lightening could strike

I really liked the movie Meet Joe Black. It has been a movie of mixed reviews but I think it is one that you need to judge for yourself.

Anthony Hopkins is wonderful as usual. He is absolutely believable as the character William Parrish, the man who has it all and has lived life to the fullest. You can understand how someone who wants to learn about life would choose him to follow.

Claire Forlani is wonderful as his beautiful daughter. She is tough but vulnerable at time. She believes her life is already planned until lightening strikes and nothing is what she thought it would be

Brad Pitt does a good job as Death. He is innocent, shy, and unsure of himself. He has decided to experience the life he has been taking people from.

There are other characters in this movie but these to me this is where the dynamic relationships lie. This is a movie that can make you laugh and cry. It makes you think about how you live your life and what is of real importance. It also shows how things can be lost and other things gained at the same time.

It is a long movie. It lasts for 3 hours and some scenes can get drag on.

I believe this movies teaches to be open to life and all it's possibilities.
