'Multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of what I'm talking about.'
-Bill Parish/Joe Black

My most lasting of impressions and memories of Meet Joe Black certainly revolve around this quote above as it was used under 2 seperate ironic circumstances, by 2 different people as well as figuratively, 2 antonymous entities. Life and death are 2 polar opposite entities which are immiscible and suspended in an emulsion, though I'd like to portray life as the floating fluid as how can anyone be buoyed with death? Not me at least. I found this quote particularly interesting not only because it was splendidly said twice, but also its appropriate use in both scenarios . When Bill asked Joe about how death took its toll on mankind simultaneously, Joe simply fired this quote at Bill without attempting to further elaborate because it was ironic for life trying to grasp death, and more crucially, life cannot fathom death. Similarly, in the closing scenes of the show, Bill used Joe's line as a retort to his inquisition on what love was. Indeed, love is a quality and luxury that life can only enjoy and to an undefined extent, comprehend as compared to death, which to the end of time, will always be ignorant of. The encapsulation of these 2 moments juxtaposed to one another form a whole new moment, in a different light of course, in my mind. So, with yet another supporter/poet who comes in the name of John Donne, 'Death be not proud' and Life 1 Death 0. *Triumphant celebrations*....before I meet joe black hahaha haha ha oh no!
