《Meet Joe Black》Brad Pitt, 一見鍾情但在生死交錯中錯過的愛情故事 (A love story of -- love at first sight [they are right for each other] but missed amid the twists of life and death).
In 1997, at the beginning of this film, the male and female protagonists encountered each other in a café, experiencing love at first sight. However, during their parting, they missed the chance for a mutual gaze, making me suspect whether the director was paying homage to "dong'ai" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRVqKulkCPc
turning around and missing each other lookin always breaks my heart a lil bit. if only their eyes met one more time. Brad was so love-drunk that he clearly did not read the "Do Not Walk" sign.Claire is so dreamily distracted.
Life is funny sometimes, it gives you something and then takes something back. Nothing is lost I guess...
Morel of the story: Life is often shorter than you expected. Don’t be shy.
(East Asian romantic dramas), although this is no longer significant. What is love?
It is that moment of heart-fluttering [they are right for each other], unforgettable feeling. Encounters happen, but are missed, even though both parties frequently turn back, they cross paths in the sea of people, evoking a sigh of regret. This film is not just a love story; more importantly, it delves into the meaning of life and death. To conclude, I quote a passage: "Some people, some events, some farewells, turning around once is a lifetime." ...and lightening could strike... and she was HIT.
Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins give stellar performances in this film about a powerful man who receives a visit from Death and ...
Actors: Brad Pitt "Joe", Anthony Hopkins, Claire Forlani "Susan" [great acting, but she never got any awards. She was in Jackie Chan's movie, "Medallion"]
Director: Martin Brest
This movie told so many of life’s lessons we should all learn and know , loyalty, devotion , fathers love for his child , take nothing for granted and when you see that woman sitting at a table or booth or bar go up and say something you never know lightening could strike--that hit-by-a-car scene !!!!
As soon as he said lightning could strike and she looked at him... I got goosebumps
This scene reminds me of a story my dad told me when I was a young teenager. It's the story a dog walking down a country road. He was approaching a railroad crossing when he noticed a train in the distance. The dog figured he had plenty of time to make it across the track, but as the train got closer he decided he needed to pick up the pace. Well he was soon in dead run as he tried to beat the train to the crossing. It was close, but the dog made it most of the way across when the train ran over the tip of his tail. Angry at the train the dog spun around to bite the train and it ran over his head. While I pondered this little sad story, my dad looked at me said, "Son, the moral of the story is, never loose your head over a little piece of tail." It seems Joe Black never received any advice like this, and so he lost his focus and it cost him his life. My dad was full little gyms like this and other words of wisdom that he shared with me as I grew. He died way too young and I miss him every day.
We should thank these people for the presentation of a moment that is possible. Not as the act of selfishness. But as hope for a shared life of good, before death. A life well lived, worthy of resting in peace. Thank You.
I always wondered why they never just exchanged numbers, maybe Brads character thought about it but hesitated ? these are the types of hesitations that eat at you later on, the “what if” scenarios.
In college, my wife came to my apartment with her boyfriend at the time. I was having a huge party. I saw her from across the room and I thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Took my breath away. But I was so distracted by my party that I didn't even introduce myself. We made eye contact a number of times. I was completely struck by her.
Years later I saw her not her, by chance, when I was waiting for someone else to come out of an apartment building. I asked her out immediately. I wasn't going to lose her again.
By a miracle, we were both recently single. We've been married twenty years. 3 children. I still obsess about her all the time. Completely in love. Every single day I try to figure out some way to make her day better or create our weekly date night so she feels loved. It's really strange how much you can love someone... And how that love just gets stronger.
I have probably 15 pictures of her in my office. Most from before we met. I look at them and I think "That beatiful young woman doesn't even know it yet...but she's going to be the mother of my children some day." It fills me with love. And this movie was my inspiration for asking her to go on that first date.
I was at the local "Varsity Inn" when a pledge came in with his date. I saw her from across the room and never looked back. He introduced her and noted it was their first date. We talked for a bit and I told him that I would like to take her out. He said that was up to her. I turned to her and asked if she would like to go out. We went to a show, "The Sound of Music", the next night and were married 18 months later. We were married for 52 years. I loved her from the moment I saw her and I still love her today. As she would say "always and forever". RIP
This movie taugh me so much about loyalty and love and to talk to the girl you find attractive because lighting could strike and she could end up being your wife.
