In my opinion, this is indeed a fairy tale. Why did Reaper choose the media tycoon played by Anthony Hopkins instead of poor people or just ordinary people to be his "guide" in the world? Is it just because what Reaper said, he chose Bill to experience his life experience Is it a quote of passion and adventure? Not at all. He had mentioned that he liked Bill's house, that gorgeous rich house. There is no need for him to think about what kind of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and all he has to do is fall in love with a rich girl. The so-called deceit and betrayal in the movie has also been weakened. This is also done to set off this beautiful fairy tale - a sexy man with a body, noble but capricious and cute, and occasionally a deserter to play in the world The love story of the god of death and the pure, kind and beautiful doctor falling in love with each other.
Also, talk about this name. Although I don't like the Chinese translation, I haven't come up with a better translation. Because the name Joe Black is not just a casual talk by Bill, he has hesitation and choice - how to "refer" to the god of death through a name without being too straightforward. Black, so to speak, implies the meaning of death, or, I guess, a little bit of death coming to the world is a black humor. And Joe, excuse my ignorance of the Bible, not sure if the name refers to Joseph or Jehovah. Awaiting senior guidance.
