When i first saw this scene, i was in absolute silence. Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins really got a masterful chemistry in this film.
Agreed those roles were made for them .
@@zailikamyrick7787 Thanks for your endless love and support ❤️
One of my favorite movies!
They had it 'Legends of the fall' as well. Truly talented actors and this is one of my favourite films. An absolute classic.
Indeed they have. I'll be completely honest, I've not seen much of Brad Pitt's work but in this he is absolutely stunning. He plays Joe/Death so well and I love the way he delivers and portrays his character and delivers his lines brilliantly. Stellar acting performances from all of them. Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt etc. I completely fell in love with Joe/Death, Susan, Bill & Quince x
That's a nice detail that when Death speaks to you, he speaks in a voice you're comfortable with....your own.
were that to be true, i could never accept death. hearing it ring from mine own voice would lead me to believe all is false, that i have succumbed to despair. I would never accept ending from myself, death better be more clever than that if it seeks to take me, my death must be earned, as my life has been.
@@fuckel98 Rather arrogant, dont you think?
@@chpgmr1372 if that is your take away, all I have said has soared over your head. Reread and rethink
@fuckel98 what have you done before you were born to have earned your life?
@@fuckel98"death must be earned, as my life has been" There is something poetic, right, about your words.
Anthony Hopkins is a profound actor. There is something about his presence that makes me pay attention.
That is SIR Anthony Hopkins
Brad Pitt is a profound actor. There is something about his presence that makes me pay attention.
@@brgenilsen623 Even Brad Pitt's mirror image is mesmerized by him.
They dont make them like this anymore: Sir Anthony Hopkins
"do i blend in?" Sure guy thats better looking than 99% of people 😂
They dont come around like this very often though by and by and by the masses go blithering about their...
It requires all those things in wisdom and writings of wisdoms: compatorials
The question that drives you mad
I love how the glass kinda makes the face of a skull at certain angles.
I can’t decide what the most beautiful thing in this lovely movie is - the quiet but heartbroken acceptance of Anthony Hopkins’ character towards the inevitability of his fate, Brad Pitt’s Death reaching the impossible understanding of love and sacrifice from his cold but curious, matter-of-fact view of people in the beginning or the musical score.
Very well spoken. We share a grasp of the language. I am a filmophile from nearly 50 years ago. One time film librarian and projectionist.
The scene when he allows the Jamaican woman to depart is some fabulous acting. Pitt’s thousand-yard-stare…
Him coming closer as the clock ticks and time passes until hes staring you in the face, great showing that he is death itself.
Its the subtle little details that play on the subconscious... the ticking of the clock, signifying the eternal march of time towards our inevitable end... the way the clocks ticking, skips one beat as Joe answers the question "is he death?..."
Huh, I couldn't hear any clock :(
One of the best scenes ever filmed in Cinema. A Masterclass in acting, lighting, cinematography and music.
Scenes like this one make me shake my head at modern cinema. We should be doing stuff that's BETTER than this regularly. Yet we barely get anything this good.
Anthony Hopkins is just that good. He almost made Marvel's Thor movie good. There are some scenes like this that are just dialogue (no action) between him and Tom Hiddleston's Loki that were so beyond the scale of that movie.
The quality of everything has gone to absolute shit over the recent few years, only remnants of greatness here and there. Movies are bad. Music is bad. Service is bad. It is really sad to think about.
@@CG-vr4sf okay boomer.
@@Real_Beaky I don't think it's a boomer thing. Rings of power vs. Lord of the rings - the showrunners have told us how these days it's about making money not the best art to then make money - that's why Lotr wouldn't be possible today. Same with Anthony Hopkins - the time of the superstar is over, we have less and less of houshold names, most series/films are filled with nobodies and new actors who will never be heard of again. These are conscious choices the industry has made. I believe the motivation is short term money. The next quarter report.
@@Real_Beaky nope, not a boomer, I'm just not a complete fuckt*rd like yourself, and I am aware of the change that has happened over the recent few years lol
Very underrated film. With brilliant performances.
7.2 imdb.
The woman was unwatchable
The gravitas and excellence of both of these actors makes this scene absolutely captivating
Notice how Death never blinks ;-)
Good catch!
At 7.04.... I mean, I literally scanned through and found this in 3 seconds XD
blink and you will miss it
Blinks at 5:57
Blinks at 7:03
This pairing of Hopkins and Pitt, was to me one is one of the best . Their acting was on such a level that it took you in, you were captured. I seen this film many times and learn every time .
Possibly the most underrated film ever... all the actors are amazing, with the best score ever..... sheer perfection that kills me every time I watch it..
It's not that great imo
That phantom voice is 2 voices overlapping. Pitts and Hopkins.
It is as if he was getting used to talking.
My favorite movie ever. Watched a million Times but never enough. Deep, philosophical and excellent lines. The aesthetism is over the top, never vulgar or tacky, all détails matched perfectly with the millionnaire environnement. Claire Forlani was delicate, smart and naïve in her rôle, Sir Hopkins gave deepness to the movie, the music by Thomas Newman is the best in Cinema History.
Every actor in this movie is amazing .
This scene gives me chills, imagine meeting 'death' in a physical form.
It’s Brad Pitt. I’m a straight man, but it’s Brad Pitt!
Finally someone who dears to admitt that this is scaring...thanks.
Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins are legends.💯💯💯👍
Of the fall.
@@jamesanderson6373 I saw what you did there. :)
Thanks for your endless love and support ❤️

Thanks for your endless love and support ❤️
Both legendary actors in their prime.
Brad Pitt was far too young here to be in his prime, but he gave a good performance.
If death comes to me like this I will show him the time of his life!! LOL
A VERY underrated movie!!
This is the exact same scene that is played out with Claire near the end. But she says "Joe" instead of Death - but she was thinking it!
my best movie 97's and 98's Titanic Meet Joe Black Good Will Hunting
Titanic is a mainstream bs movie. Emperor's Club, Dead Poets Society is more likely to be added to this list.
Great chemistry those two since Legends of the Fall.
Yes!!!
So, after all those years, I just noticed that Joe Black's steps at 4:50 sound like an old clock with a pendulum.
Great film. Death & Taxes...
How to act without barely moving or saying a word, truly amazing.
Fun fact: Brad Pitt is now the same age Anthony Hopkins was during the filming of this movie.
Beautiful Movie 🎬 ❤. I Love the scene at the hospital, when the Elderly lady looked at Joe and saw him for what truly was; & asked him to take her pain away❤😢❤😢❤
This is one of those essential masterpieces that should be required viewing. Be kind. Always.
This movie is a absolute classic, I watch it Every single time as if i never seen it before 🥰🥰
Dude. That's because you were stoned every time you watched it.
@@lorraine9242 I don't even use drugs, the movie is just that good grow up.
@@zailikamyrick7787 It was kind of a bad movie. I was just joking with you about being stoned.
Were can I get the movie from
Yes, i agree. Perhaps it raises questions about death and that inevitable moment. But i reflect upon Opportunity and how one lives. Death and Taxes is a classic moment in both scenes.
The script is beautiful and Fantastic!! Major kudos to the writer!! Bill’s little speech about love in the helicopter is a masterpiece!
This is one of my favorite movies they are such wonderful actors and they play with each other so well what a treat for us!!
Hopkins is a fantastic actor. Pitt ain’t to shabby either or neither whichever. Saw this last year. Great movie.
That, my friends, is vocal expression personified.
This is the second movie that they made together, the first one was legends of the fall.
kinda odd that now brad pitt is only a couple years younger than Hopkins was here
The opening scene is still my favorite.
The first movie I remember Anthony Hopkins playing in was called Magic and I've never forgot him.I thought it was great
I love this movie. My one curiosity is when "Death" takes over this body (Brad Pitt's) is no one else dying? Is there literally weeks where no one dies? I know it's just a movie but the intrigue was always fascinating. Also, when Death tells Bill to "lead the way"...a foreshadowing of Death leading Bill into the afterlife. The brilliance of this movie always hits me just so.
It is true that we always scared of Death But when we know Its Real We welcoming it like it was old friend
I remember watching this movie as a kid. It still holds up.
Awesome scene love this movie
Thanks for your endless love and support ❤️
Did they blend Pitt and hopkins voices for this scene? a reflection of the self that death would be? subtle.
Anthony Hopkins - the best of the best.
This movie is on KZhead by the way.
Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. I say fall head over heels, find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. How do you find them? Meet Joe Black, Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, & Claire Forlani.
I love this movie 🥰
Thanks for your endless love and support ❤️
This scene is very inspiring and instructive. Do not waste time or procrastinate your personal or professional goals once you reach 60 years old. Time starts running out. The cause of your death will reveal itself. Joe Black will start talking to you. Movement in space = time
A problem with a lot of modern movies is that they don't leave any moments to themselves. They must have music in the background, no ifs, ands, or buts. Funny thing about a Quiet Place is that is didn't pave that path. It cleaned it up and showed people who breathtaking it could be. This scene epitomizes how good ambiance and sound design should be used
What a well made movie
This was a great movie
Scary when the voice of Hannibal Lecter is talking back at you like that😱
Lindp filme... Um dos meus favoritos 🌹👍🤗
Brad Pitts eyes very intent dont think i would bexablebto maintain his stare, hes such a beautiful man xx
What an entrance. That writing was exquisite.
Such a great movie, just watched it again yesterday.
Wow… what powerful scene!!!
Such magnificent acting. Utterly brilliant stuff. ❤
Brad Pitt is now older than Anthony Hopkins was in this film.
Amo esse filme!!
this movie sequel is going to be titled "MEET JOE MAMA" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great now I gotta watch the movie. Only, for the 13th time Haha 🤗
One of the best movies of all time.
This is one of my favorite shows!
Actor de los grandes. Que bien su papel. Impecable. Bendiciones
This is a very very good movie. I loved every minute of it.
Interesting stimulus for the facing of death. It can/may be generative or fear, and or am I crazy, response, however the least satisfactory though temporary outcome is not to be fully cognizant that there is no death for most. A change of perceptions. timing out of rhe body. Awakening!
Fine fine actors and great acting
Talk about the dulcet tones of the human voice.
This movie, in my humble opinion, is one of the greatest movies of all time and I believe it will be one of those timeless movies as well. The writing and the directing are and was as superlative as was the acting with one of the most unique features of this movie lifting this particular cinematic offering higher than the rest, which unique feature was the musical score which had the music being one of the main characters, flawlessly executed. "Meet Joe Black" is a splendid fictional work of art, despite "trespassing" all over scripture, here and there.
It's a real possibility to Meet an angel! Of course! It is a light Version to leave this world without by accident or illness or Something Like this. Only to go with an angel❤ into the next level. Greetings, and have strength, Manuela🙏🍀
Joe black looks like an angel
He is, the angel of death.
When all your wealth, power, intellect, talents, skills, desires and contributions count for nothing. All your being laid bare like a page in a chronical titled 'Life.' Two kinds of terror arrive. The first in that such a creature noticed you. The second in that it meddled, ..and you had absolutely no control over the resulting causality.
Death meets Death. Death would shit it's pants if Ol Hannibal Lecter said "Yes, dinner."
EXCELLENT JOB THE MOVEMENT OF LIGHT
If Hopkins character was Irish he would have shrugged his shoulders and said no games, let's go
Magnificent acting
The chemistry is there. but they both have chemistry w/ most.
I first watched this movie as a double VHS. That's how it originally came.
All i remember about this movie, maybe saw it in a theater, is that it was too long. Watching these clips is awakening my curiosity. Maybe I won't be so critical about the editing next time?
I really like this movie and pitt and hopkins are so good together:)
Two amazing actors, stunning movie 😅
When brad got ran over by a car I was like 😱😱😱

Piękny film 😊
Not my sort of film really but when you watch it's one of the best films I've seen in decades and definitely the best music , Thomas Newman and Anthony Hopkins are out of this world here.
