Meet Joe Black Movie
This sentimental and touching fantasy movie centers on 65-year-old William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins), a wealthy and powerful media mogul whose perfect existence is shattered by the arrival of Death who takes the form of a charming young man named Joe Black (Brad Pitt). Tired of his routine duties, Death proposes to conclude an extraordinary deal: Parrish will act as a guide to Joe to the world of living, and Joe will give him time to put his affairs in order. With the help of Parrish, the enigmatic and eccentric Joe starts a tour of human life. But the unexpected happens. The dead person's body which is occupied by Death turns out to have belonged to a man whom Parrish's beautiful daughter, Susan (Claire Forlani), has fallen in love with before the fatal accident.
