#Meet joe black soundtrack review movie#
Yes, the pace is slow, but not a second is wasted here, there’s a reason the film lasts three hours and without the extended running time, the movie would be too thin, at least I think so. I have read some bad reviews of this film and in most cases, it is criticized for being too slow or too long, when I think those elements are vital to why it is such an enjoyable picture. But I’ll discuss the discs later on, as this is the space devoted to my thoughts on Meet Joe Black and as such, I will dispense those thoughts.

This was the film Meet Joe Black was based on and to have it included here as a bonus, defies reason to be sure, but is very welcome indeed. You gain a DTS option and retain the extras from the previous edition, but the main draw is a bonus feature film, Death Takes A Holiday. This two disc edition marks the second release for Meet Joe Black and in this case, I am thrilled Universal chose to revisit the film in the fashion it did. But when the time comes for Joe to return to his own realm and take Parrish with him, will his experiences on the other side make him think twice about his own existence, or will he simply revert back and do what he’s called to do? He agrees to extend Parrish’s life in exchange for his services as a guide, so that Joe can soak up some life firsthand, as well as get to know Susan better. Joe takes an interest in the realm of the living and also in Parrish’s daughter, Susan (Claire Forlani) and as such, he wishes to remain here for a while to see some of life’s experiences. Of course, Joe Black has come to this realm to take Parrish back with him, but things don’t work out just as planned. That encounter was very real however, as Parrish soon learns when Death appears to him in human form, Joe Black (Brad Pitt). But his days are very limited and when he is contacted by what seems to be Death, he shrugs it off as a hallucination of some kind. Bill Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) is about to turn sixty-five and while he has found much success in the media trade, he has also been a loving father and in truth, a good man all around.
