Meet Joe Black

The title did not sound attractive. Nonetheless, it is a worth watching movie. The story was not too complicated: a powerful and wise man was visited by the death just before his 65 year old birthday. The death this time did not take the man with him right away, instead, he spent some time in the world with the man to get joy. The power of the death made this request inrefusable. The man obeyed. The death, or Joe Black, blended himself in the man's life. Joe appeared in every occasion of the man's life. The man, or we called him Bill, was a CEO of a large communication company. Bill had to bring Joe to the board meetings even though Joe was not a board member. Of course the strange appearance of Joe drew attention and suspection. In addition, Bill had to allow Joe to join his family dinners. Family was thrilled to this new commer. Not his initial intention, the death fell in love with Bill's little daughter, Susan.
One of the worth watching scenes was the coffee shop scene. In the coffee shop, Joe (the original Joe) met Susan. The 5 min conversation between them made this film popular among female audience. The male audience asked me if I would fall to a Joe-like man with a Joe-like conversation. The answer was positive. Of course partially was due to Joe's looking. The main part was his frankness and sincerity. Romance will not be bloomed without some direct words. The frankness strike. Nonetheless, if the conversation is only filled with direct words, then the conversation becomes rude. Sincerity was essential in a good flirt. If the words sound empty or fake, no girl will believe in them. Right before the coffee shop, Bill told Susan the love was like striking thunder. This sentence helped the audience link the scenes. This sentence served as a hint. When you hear it, you know something is going to happen. Back to the performance, I enjoyed the performance from Bill the most. Anthony's acting was near perfect. The acting made Bill so real. Bill's calm and sophistication implied why the death said he was a quite successful figure in this world. I also enjoyed the facial expressions from Susan. The smiles and the expressions were innocent and seductive. I saw self-control and tension among self. Two scenes left a mark in my mind. The first one was the one when Bill and Joe saw the fireworks in the sky. The fireworks were to celebrate Bill's birthday. The fireworks were fascinating. Nonetheless, Bill must have felt sad when he saw them because he knew he was going to die during the fireworks. He liked the fireworks, he enjoyed them, but he may not be able to enjoy them any more since he would be in another world soon. Bill commented "it is hard to let go... just like life." The second scene was when the coffee shop Joe met with a worried Susan in the hills after he was brought back by the death after the death took the life of Bill. Susan recognized this Joe by his genuine behaviors right away. She asked Joe "what do we do now?" Joe replied "it will come to us". Yes, sometimes you don't know what is next. You just need a person next to you assures you and helps you clear your anxiety.
