	Meet Joe Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meet Joe Black is a 1998 remake of the 1934 film, Death Takes a Holiday, starring Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, and Claire Forlani.
		The movie gained an unexpected, somewhat anonymous claim to fame when a clip of the crash scene early on in the film became something of an internet phenomenon, leading many unsuspecting online viewers to believe it to be authentic footage.
		Meet Joe Black tells the story of Death taking a break from his usual duties and inhabiting the body of a young man in order to learn what it is like to be human.

	MEET JOE BLACK
		Worried that Joe may have other plans for her, William must deal with that while also contending with Drew's plans to undermine him and his company and, of course, his own pending trip to the great hereafter.
		Although a sick woman in a hospital immediately recognizes Joe for whom he really is, and begs him to ease her pain, the film misses its opportunity to play off this notion.
		The initial encounter between Susan and Joe (before he's Death warmed over) is brimming with romantic sparks, and despite that man's death and Joe Black's subsequent aloofness, the chemistry slowly but surely rebuilds between the two.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Meet Joe Black (1998)
		"Meet Joe Black," directed by Martin Brest (1992's "Scent of a Woman"), is a 170-minute remake of 1934's "Death Takes a Holiday," which ran 78-minutes, and so judging from this, it might seem as if "Meet Joe Black," is an overly robust, needlessly long film, but it didn't seem that way at all.
		When Susan sees Pitt, now called Joe Black to hide his identity to everyone else, she realizes something is different about him, but begins to fall in love with him nonetheless.
		And as Joe follows Bill around and begins to learn things about the world, as well as care for Susan, everything inevitably is leading up to Bill's gala birthday party, which will be his last night before he dies and is lead away by Death.

	Review: Meet Joe Black (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Meet Joe Black was loosely suggested by the 1934 movie, Death Takes a Holiday, which, in turn, was based on a '20s stage play of the same name.
		Disappointingly, that potentially-fascinating aspect of the situation is ignored by Meet Joe Black, which wastes the bulk of its three hours on a passionless romance and an absurd corporate takeover scheme.
		The centerpiece of Meet Joe Black is the romance between Joe and Susan, but it's not the kind of motion picture love affair that causes the spirit to soar.

	Meet Joe Black
		Meet Joe Black seemed almost fated to fail when it was released in 1998, but this romantic fantasy--a remake of 1934's Death Takes a Holiday--deserves a chance at life after box-office death.
		Meet Joe Black is as refreshing as a drought of cold water.
		Meet Joe Black is one of my favourite movie of all times, I think it is also one of the best movie of all times.

	Movie Info for Meet Joe Black on MSN Movies
		Joe is actually the angel of death, who has taken the form of a man who recently passed on to pay William a call.
		Joe, on the other hand, is curious to know what life is like for mere mortals, so the two men strike a deal -- William will have some time to get his affairs in order, and Joe will wait and see what it's like to be a human being.
		Joe decides that he likes it very much when he falls in love with Susan, but negotiating the slippery slopes of romance is no easier for Joe than for any ordinary man. Meet Joe Black is an updated version of Alberto Casella's play Death Takes a Holiday, which was adapted for the screen in 1934.

	Meet Joe Black: Cinephiles Movie Review
		Meet Joe Black explores the moral and material values surrounding and emanating from the powerful William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins).
		Ultimately, Joe meets Susan; an encounter which tempts him to deviate from his mission and which, ironically, proves to be a much higher lesson than he had bargained for.
		Meet Joe Black is a film which dwells in its own exuberance, the rare luxury of its sets (designed by Academy Award nominee Dante Ferreti) and the irresistible charm of its inhabitants, all which portray a degree of elegance that seduces the viewer into a simply fantastic world.

	SPLICEDwire: "Meet Joe Black" review
		One of the first scenes in "Meet Joe Black" is so perfectly simple and romantic that I relaxed into my theater seat smiling because I just knew I was in for a sweet and delicious chick flick.
		"Meet Joe Black" is supposed to be a supernatural romance, the story of Death discovering life through falling in love.
		In most of his scenes, Joe is supposed to have an understated and uncomfortable air about him.

		Black sticks close by William's side through much of the film, creating difficult situations at a time when Parrish's company is trying to deal with a financially attractive but ethically unsavory takeover bid, and he also puts the boil to somewhat strained familial relationships.
		If you watch Meet Joe Black immediately after watching Death Takes a Holiday, as I did this time around, a few things might strike you as odd and slightly negative at first.
		The principal difference that had this initial effect on me was the change in the primary romantic relationship--between Joe and Susan (and between Prince Sirki (Frederic March) and Grazia (Evelyn Venable) in the original).

		Under the assumed identity of "Joe Black," he samples all the pleasures that corporeal life has to offer--power, romance, sex, and such enticing pleasures as peanut butter by the spoonful.
		But Death has a job to do, and Meet Joe Black addresses the heart-wrenching dilemma that arises when either father or daughter (the plot keeps us guessing) must confront his or her inevitable demise.
		The deal is struck, but complicated when Black (inhabiting the body of a man who briefly met William's daughter Susan Parrish - brilliantly played by Claire Forlani - and who shared a mutual attraction with her) himself meets Susan, and the two begin to develop feelings for one another.

		The flowers of Meet Joe Black are a clear peach to salmon pink with a large, very dark, near fl eye, and a wide matching picottee.
		The plants have nicely branched scapes with 30 to 35 buds and are very recurrent, yielding a profusion of color over a very long bloom period.
		Meet Joe Black has been one of my favorite plants since its maiden bloom because of its overall plant habit, dramatic flowers, non-stop bloom, and easy fertility.

	Meet Joe Black
		Joe Black), who has come to take wealthy business tycoon Bill Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) into the afterlife.
		Directed by Martin Brest and running at about three hours in length, Meet Joe Black is admittedly one loooong movie, and I suspect that for many it will be too long to be considered tolerable.
		With thoughtful handling of the themes of life, death, love and family, Meet Joe Black is a picture that carries its share of both substance and style, and at least for me, its three hour runtime was a relatively small price to pay.
