Synopsis
Meet Joe Black (1998) is a fantasy-tinged drama you can watch online on iFILM. Death itself takes a holiday among the living and arrives at the door of media magnate William Parrish days before his 65th birthday.
Anthony Hopkins plays Parrish, a man used to running an empire and his own family with the same steady hand. The visitor wears the body of a young stranger (Brad Pitt) and offers a bargain: more time in exchange for serving as a guide through the human world. Parrish agrees, never guessing the cost. Death, who has never tasted coffee before, falls for his daughter Susan (Claire Forlani). Now the magnate must weigh what a few borrowed days are worth, and whether to let his daughter love the one figure certain to take her father away.
Director Martin Brest stretches the story across nearly three hours on purpose; it moves slowly, like a long goodbye that nobody wants to end. Beneath the romance sits a plain question, what have you actually said to the people you love. Stream Meet Joe Black (1998) online on iFILM.
