    I used this DVD for entertainment--after all, it's a movie. "Meet Joe Black" is an older film but well worth watching. Death, love, taxes, family, and an interesting ending. A nice addition to my growing collection of excellent movies.

    Two great actors tell a mesmerizing story about the eternal, yet fleeting human experience of love. Love does obey the rules of time and space, it is beyond those limitations.

    I loved this movie. Brad Pitt as the angel that has come to take one of the characters in the story away in death - but you get so caught up in the
    Interaction between the angel and daughter and " Joe " experiencing the human experiences that we do daily like walking, eating, and having fun,
    that you don't feel the grief that I thought would be in this movie. Very well written and all the characters were portrayed brilliantly

    The movie has generated a fair amount of disagreement, it's long and the twist at the end is also open to a couple of interprtations. Sound levels are a source of annoyance as I was constantly adjusting the volume to turn down the music or turn up the whispered dialog.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Der Tod auf Urlaub in Long Island
    Reviewed in Germany on August 26, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Das Remake von "Death Takes A Holiday" spielt vor der Kulisse Manhattens und der Supervillen auf Long Island. Mit beeindruckenden Luftaufnahmen und Einblicken in die Immobilien der oberen 10.000 kommt der Film komplett ohne aufwendige Special Effects und 16 Bilder/sec-Sequenzen aus. Ein sehr entspannendes Filmerlebnis von fast 3 Stunden!!!

    Story: William Perrish (Sir Anthony Hopkins) ist erfolgreicher Medienmogul in New York und f¨¹hrt sein Unternehmen mit Disziplin, aber auch mit Ehre und Pathos. Pl?tzlich jedoch scheint Ihm die Kontrolle zu entgleiten: Schmerzen in der Brust und eine mysteri?se Stimme, die aus dem Nichts heraus immer wieder "ja" fl¨¹stert, lassen B?ses ahnen. Der Tod k¨¹ndigt sich bei Perrish pers?nlich an und er?ffnet Ihm das baldige Ende seines irdischen Seins.

    Doch er gew?hrt ihm noch einen Aufschub. Scheinbar wegen der Faszination an Perrishs Tochter Susan (Claire Forlani) erm?chtigt er sich des K?rpers eines jungen Anwalts (Brad Pitt), den Susan in einer New Yorker Cafe-Bar kennen gelernt hat. Kurz nach dem viel verspechenden Kennenlernen ¨¹berf?hrt ein Auto den ?rmsten und der Tod erscheint in dessen Gestalt auf Perrishs Anwesen auf Long Island und verk¨¹ndet, dass er fortan so lange bleibt, wie es ihm auf Erden gef?llt. Sollte Perrish ihm nicht gef?llig sein, so nehme er ihn sofort mit ins Totenreich.

    Perish, der sich so einen Aufschub erhofft, um seine Gesch?fte noch zu erledigen, stimmt zu und f¨¹hrt den mysteri?sen Fremden, mit den sonderbaren Verhaltensweisen als Freund in die Familie und die Firma ein.

    Der kalte Tod entwickelt nun eine nahezu kindliche Freude an den irdischen Gen¨¹ssen. Nicht nur Erdnussbutter (product placement), sondern auch Susan wecken sein sinnliches Verlangen. Sehr zum Missfallen Perrishs entwickelt sich eine immer intimer werdende Romanze zwischen Susan und dem Tod, der f¨¹r Susan nat¨¹rlich noch immer der nette Anwalt aus der Bar ist und nicht der Herr der Finsternis.

    Und noch eine andere Bedrohung kommt auf Perrish zu: Susans karrieres¨¹chtiger Verlobter Drew versucht Perrishs Konzern an einen Konkurrenten zu verkaufen. Um dies tun zu k?nnen, muss er Perrish entmachten. Doch damit macht er sich den Tod zum Feind, denn dieser ist zunehmend fasziniert von William Perrishs Pers?nlichkeit.

    Schlie?lich offenbart der Tod Perrish seinen Wunsch mit Susan zusammen bleiben zu wollen, mit allen Konsequenzen.

    Eine r¨¹hrende und beeindruckende Hommage an das Leben, die Liebe und das pers?nliche Gl¨¹ck. Bildgewaltig setzte der Film die Welt der Superreichen mit Ihren Intrigen und Machtspielen in Szene. Danneben pl?diert er f¨¹r das Bewahren von Ehre und Menschlichkeit und die Wertsch?tzung der Familie.

    Actionfans mag der Film an vielen Stellen zu langatmig sein. Manch Dialog ist auch etwas zu pathetisch geraten und Brad Pitt wirkt immer etwas mehr wie ein unbeholfenes Unterw?schemodel als ein furchteinfl??ender Herrscher des Totenreichs, aber ber¨¹hrt hat mich der Film dennoch.

    Anthony Hopkins Pr?senz ist unglaublich dominant und authentisch und auch Claire Forlani spielt die junge verliebte ?rztin Susan mit ?berzeugungskraft.

    Auch die Nebenrollen sind gut herausgearbeitet. So leidet man zum Beispiel mit dem trottelig-naiven Quince, dem Schwiegersohn Perishs, der bei der Entmachtung Perishs unfreiwillig mithilft, seiner Frau Allison, die sich alle M¨¹he gibt Ihren Vater mit der Organisation einer monumentalen Geburtstagsparty zum 65. zu beeindrucken, und man hasst den skrupellosen Drew (Susans Verlobten) wegen seines r¨¹cksichtslosen Machtstrebens.

    In meinen Augen ein lohnenswerter Film! Unbedingt, wenn m?glich, im englischen Original anschauen!
