- Billionaire media mogul Bill Parrish is considering a merger between his company and another media giant, and is about to celebrate his 65th birthday with an elaborate party planned by his eldest daughter, Allison. His youngest daughter, Susan, a resident in internal medicine, is in a relationship with one of Bill's board members, Drew. She is considering marriage, but Bill can tell she's not passionately in love. When she asks for the short version of his impassioned speech, he simply says, "Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike!" When their company helicopter lands, he begins to hear a mysterious voice, which he tries with increasing difficulty to ignore.
Susan meets a vibrant young man at a coffee shop. He takes an interest in her and tells her that lightning may strike. She is enamored but parts without getting his name. Unbeknownst to her, the man is struck by multiple cars in a possibly fatal accident.
Death arrives at Bill's home in the uninjured body of the young man, explaining that Bill's impassioned speech has piqued his interest. Given Bill's "competence, experience, and wisdom", Death says that for as long as Bill will be his guide on Earth, Bill will not have to die. Making up a name on the spot, Death is introduced to the family as "Joe Black".
Bill's best efforts to navigate the next few days, knowing them now to be his last, fail to keep events from going rapidly out of his control. Drew is secretly conspiring with a man bidding for Parrish Communications. He capitalizes on Bill's strange behavior and unexplained reliance on Joe to convince the board of directors to vote Bill out as Chairman, using information given to him inadvertently by Bill's son-in-law, Quince, to push through approval for the merger which William had decided to oppose. Quince is devastated.
Susan is confused by the appearance of Joe, believing him to be the young man from the coffee shop, but eventually falls deeply in love with him. Joe is now under the influence of human desires and becomes attracted to her as well. After they make love, Joe asks Susan, "What do we do now?" She replies, "It'll come to us." Bill angrily confronts Joe about his relationship with his daughter, but Joe declares his intention to take Susan with him for his own.
As his last birthday arrives, Bill appeals to Joe to recognize the meaning of true love and all it encompasses, especially honesty and sacrifice. Joe comes to understand that he must set aside his own desire and allow Susan to live her life. He also helps Bill regain control of his company, exposing Drew's underhanded business dealings to the board by claiming to be an agent of the Internal Revenue Service and threatening to put Drew in jail.
At the party Bill makes his peace with his daughters. Susan tells Joe that she has loved him ever since that day in the coffee shop.
Joe realises that Susan loves the unknown man, not him, and the realization crushes him slightly. Mastering his emotions powerfully he balks at telling Susan who he really is, although she seems to intuit his true identity. Struggling to comprehend the enormity of the situation, Susan cannot label Joe as Death. She says finally, "You're . . . you're Joe". He promises her "you will always have what you found in the coffee shop." On a hillock in the grounds above the party, Bill expresses trepidation, asking "Should I be afraid?" Joe replies "Not a man like you". Fireworks explode in the distance while Susan watches Joe and her father walk out of view.
Susan is stunned as "Joe" reappears alone, bewildered, this time as the young man from the coffee shop. He is uninjured and cannot account for how he got there. Susan accepts that her father is gone, and rekindles the romantic spark she had shared with the young man. "What do we do now?" she asks. "It'll come to us," Joe replies, as the two of them descend towards the twinkling lights of the party. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Her choking out "I really wish you could of met my father" and coming to the realization that he's gone was so powerfully acted by Claire 🔥❤️
right? I've seen 90% of interpretations claim she is lamenting her hunk Joe Black being gone. Duh! Her father just died there's no preparation for the disappearing act. Also, Joe's face is not that different from coffee shop man's. It almost feels like Susan and Coffee Shop Guy are having 2 different conversations. She is learning all these things and coffee shop guy is just waking from a dream and not nearly as intellectual as Susan. People claim she had a passionate love with Joe but I'm not so sure some of that didn't have to do with seeds Coffee Shop Guy planted. I find it fascinating that they portrayed both Coffee Shop Guy and Joe with innocence and naivete. Strange choice! Why do we think they did it like that? Even weirder that Coffee Shop Guy repeats things to Susan that only Joe bore witness to. I've read Death is coming along for the rest of these romantic mortals' ride. Such a trip of a great film!
@@johnnydam8671 My heart breaks when she says that line about her father....the feels wow
@@victoriafrega7974 yep, great acting and a super well cast film. That movie surprised me that I liked it as much as I did. I liked it the second time ten years later more than the first.
KNOWN my father. Not met.
How do you mess up a quote when it's quite literally provided in the video.
I agree. Her feeling tells her that this is the Coffee Shop guy not the Peanut Butter who she loves. The Death truthful loves Susan, so he brings the Coffee Shop guy back
Man, Claire Forlani was spectacularly beautiful.
She still is
She sure was. Breath taking. Interesting enough she still is breath taking. I saw this film when it came out when I was in university in the late 90s with my girlfriend. My girl wept and wept and wept and I wept inside. Hollywood use to make magical films back in the 80s and 90s and early 00s. Films that would capture your entire being and make you think and feel in wonder
A T I agree. Now people think think Fast & Furious is romantic 🙄
@@radinsyah1574 - so true aint it.... miss those golden years of the 80s/90s.
Exactly. 👌
Claire Forlani is so beautiful. Breath taking. Hollywood use to make magical films like this back in the 80s, 90s and early 00s - films that would capture your entire being and make you think and feel in wonder. I miss those days and the passionate romance shown in this film.... there was once a time when romance in the real world was like this.....
A T Have you ever experienced romance like in some of these movies? If so, I envy you.
@@jw7196 I did on 2 occasions - one with a girl when I was in university in the mid/late 90s and another in 00-01. Strange thing that it never lasted for no fault of her or my own. Timing, where we were in life at the time I guess largely played a role. I never since experienced that kind of romance.... I'm 43 now and its not clear to me if I will experience that sort of romance again.
@@at7828 you will if you believe you will.
True
Two of the best pair of eyes in the business. You feel that you are just staring into both their eyes for the entire movie...
I think Claire Forlani portrayed the most beautiful, most sincere part I have ever seen in a movie.
The moment she realizes what happened ... Wow.
Such a masterpiece of a film. Dialogue was so perfect. Brought tears to my eyes
This is gonna be the most cheesy/ desperate thing I’ve ever said in my life but every man wants a woman to look at them they way Claire looks at Brad in this movie!
Claire forlani is one of most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
Heart wrenching scene... 😭😥 kudos to both actors love their portrayal of their characters. 💙
GOD! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!
I don't know how to explain but her beauty is everything inside and out
She is insanely beautiful
Death, sadly and reluctantly, said goodbye to love, and life and love returned!
Her eyes 😍
Claire Forlani is one of few woman where her eyes smile more that her smile!
This movie absolutely breaks my heart because she fell in love with Death/Joe Black, and will never really know it or be with him.. strange and heartbreaking on so many levels
She'll know it in the end because she'll see him again
No she didn't fall in love with death, you see she fell in love with the beauty of the man that is in front of her, the joe black guy was a enigma to her, she said she fell in love in the cafe, in the cafe to that man. No death
The ending is strange so death takes Hopkins but let's Brad's character live to be with Claire but Claire fell in love with Joe black / death Brad's character from the coffee shop the ending of this film is strange and doesn't make sense where does she think her father's gone when he walked across the bridge with Brad ?
They should make another movie like this haven’t really come across a movie like this in a long time!
You do realize this is a triple remake, from the 1930s I think and original french one
Claire Forlani ... another beautiful English rose
Claire forlani💞...... Through the eyes ....to the soul
Does anyone know who designed that beautiful dress???
Such an unusual story, incredibly well done by all. Superb acting. The soundtrack is stunning as well.
All I can say it’s..wow...
Distrito Federal wow is right I could find anyway else to describe it
My favorite romantic movie. Now I generally detest romantic movies so it's not like it has a lot of competition. Even so, I love this movie.
The eyes.. the way she look at.. Wow She have me so easily in every single scene
I wish there is another episode ..
Claire Forlani is the very definition of grace and beauty. I loved her in this film.
This film has so much heart and I think Claire adds so much to that. Throw in Brad Pitt and you have a great movie
She should win best actress for this role. Superb acting. Other worldly. She is transcendent.
I love that movie Claire had a beautiful expressive and her eyes spoke with no words.
I love this film and Wow
Claire is such a natural beauty! Nowadays, it's about women chasing after the Kardashian looks! 😢
I found out I was bisexual through this movie because I couldn’t decide who I was crushing on more Brad or Claire like whoa
Haha!
Me too 😂
U meed to find your straight way again before you go to inferno
The best, best, Best movie, a great, great, great, great, great movie of all times... Great actress and the Best Claire forlani, 💞💞I ❤️u!!!!
Keira Knightley in the movie "Pride & Prejudice" is pretty damn close. You can rent it on TH-cam, just search for it.
Wait, so is her dads body just chillin on that bridge?
Claire forlani's eyes are not from this universe
Claire Forlani in this movie. My godddddddd....gorgeous
She is Stunning 😍
the length of the video is 404? coincidence?
I think Joe came back to Susan, cause when she said "I wish you have known my father", he answered "me too... me too". 2 times. If it was that guy from coffee shop why he didn't asked her what happened with her father? Is he alive or died? Why do you cry? " etc... And here we just only catch differences between Joe and guy from the coffee shop watching in his eyes, facial expressions. There is only fine line. When he said" me too" his facial expressions saying he knew her father...
1:33 the moment you realize, "Oh shit, I'm going to have Death's love child."
Named Damian.
@@jeffreyfisher2971 Damian who?
@@abrahamlunchtime5421Wayne?
Wow...
"Well i don't know what else to say, but....I wonder if I got fired from my job, and all of my loved ones filed a missing person report"
She is so pretty they make a hot couple
So isn't her dad lying dead somewhere in a bush and she's just walking away?... LOL
#Clarity yet unclear , amazing scene
So, how long has her father been dead when they're having this conversation?
days? months? year?
or just a few minutes?
Wow, she is a gorgeous woman.
Am i the only one that started laughing at the end of this movie? I liked the movie but her actions at the very end were not in line with the circumstances.
She doesn't look for her dads body?! Just leaves it in the garden for someone to find in the morning while she goes back to the house with her boyfriend? WHAT? 🤣
Go Peace...
So the moral of this beautiful movie is that women don’t really care who you are when you’re that seductive. They’ll love you anyway. Nice.
Still, Alison and Qincey stole the show from the second plane
She has the most seductive eyes.
I wish they still make movies like this….instead of the WOKE GARBAGE we get today
If this happened in real life anyone would think Brad Pitt character just whent bananas and problably has something to do with Bill's death........no way that girl stays with him
I really thought she was Gal Gadot for the duration of the whole movie
an insult to claire
@@AndalusianPrince no doubt.
I really did not like this scene. It's one of the worst. I thought it was awkward and rushed. I also didn't like the use of Hopkins' voice for death in the start. But all of it is a bit more tolerated when seeing it as a comedy. I actually would have enjoyed a better telling of the story, but what can I expect from its time period.
She looks like Gal Gadot
