GREAT- MUST SEE!
I never liked Brad Pitt in his movies, so when my neighbor told me to watch it, I was hesitant. I thought it was going to be really dumb. I watched it anyway and have found a great movie! Brad Pitt was awesome! I couldn't believe it. This movie is worth it's weight in gold. (or at least the 12-20 bucks most places are asking for it!) If you haven't seen this you have got to! The lines are perfect, they all fit together, and there is enough comedy, romance, mystery, etc ,etc to keep it from being too sad. In the end, it is happy so for those of you who don't like sad movies - DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS ONE, IT IS GREAT!

CLASSY creative movie with WONDERFUL music!
Very sensitive and romantic movie (with some humorous moments).

I reluctantly picked up this movie thinking it might be a sad story about dying, but was I surprised! It does have some sad parts but mostly it's an uplifting story about life and relationships. Death just wants to sample a slice of life so he needs a 3-day tour with billionaire William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins). He certainly decided to vacation in style! The photography in the movie is lush. The sets are richly decorated with lots of artwork and antiques.

The makeup artists make the stars look gorgeous. Hopkins never looked better. Claire Forlani is stunningly beautiful and Brad Pitt looks awesome.

The lines are thought provoking and timed perfectly. The acting is superb and well polished. Facial expressions and gestures say so much about the feeling of each scene.

The movie is 3 hours long, but each scene is significant, continually building on the theme of the story. It would be difficult to edit any of it without losing an important aspect of the story.

The music is really a wonderful blend of strings, woodwinds and brass that adds feeling to scenes that are already emotion filled.

I loved watching the story the first time, but it seemed even better the second time. For anyone with an appreciation for sensitive and romantic movies, this is a must see movie experience.

A wonderful combination of acting, emotion and music!
I've seen this movie several times and never get tired of seeing it. Like tiramisu -- a wonderful rich combination of flavors that can be enjoyed again and again.

The acting is superb. Performances are delivered with such precision and attention to gestures, facial expressions, and timing of dialog. The three main actors, Hopkins, Pitt and Forlani are excellent in their roles.

The music is beautifully orchestrated to blend with every scene. It definitely intensifies the emotion of the story.

I was intrigued by the storyline and expected to get a perspective on death and the afterlife. The movie touches on that, but focuses more on the celebration of life. The romance between Joe and Susan becomes the primary theme along with Joe's (death's) awe and discovery of life.

In contrast to the more serious drama in the film are scenes that convey a humorous note to the story with Joe's naive behaviour and mannerisms.

There is magic between Pitt and Forlani playing Joe and Susan. Their scenes convey so much passion. My favorite is the pool side scene. The lighting is gorgeous on these two beautiful young people. They radiate a distictively pink glow. Faces are shot in exteme close-up. The music builds and lips quiver, as the two experience each other for the first time.

The DVD provides very interesting details on the background of the movie. The actors comment on the roles and interaction with the other actors and the challenges that were encountered in making the movie.

I love watching movies, but never had one I considered my all time favorite. Now, I can definitely say this is it!
