Meet Joe Black

Another movie shown on cable today is Meet Joe Black. Joe Black and Bill Parrish enter into a most unusual gentleman's agreement. Wealthy media tycoon Bill Parrish leads a charmed existence until Death comes calling with an extraordinary proposition - he'll delay Bill's imminent demise in exchange for a tour of life. Innocent, enigmatic and at times hilarious, Joe disrupts Bill's world of privilege and corporate intrigue. But when he falls for Bill's beautiful daughter, Joe threatens to change the rules. Now Bill must not only fight for his future, but also for those he loves in this bittersweet tale of life and death.

It is easy to wake up every day and see what is wrong with life. Everyone has their vices and their shortcomings. Such is human nature. But what can we do to improve that situation and ensure that life gets better? And is it all really that bad? Meet Joe Black is a movie that asks us to look at ourselves and realize that this life is a gift and one that perhaps is taken for granted a little too much. Meet Joe Black asks us to ask ourselves: is it really all that bad?

Anyway you look at it, life can only get better...

I think it was Alicia Keys who wrote that the present is a gift. Life can only get better sounds negative right? No? :)
