It's uncanny how the old lady immediately sees who Joe really is. She thinks he's evil at first but within one encounter she realizes who he really is. Someone who helps the souls of humans transition to a better place. Very powerful scene the way he, for a brief moment, gives her a glimpse into the afterlife.
The mother - Lois Kelly-Miller, bless her soul, did a fantastic performance in this movie. Except for having the coolest accent in the world, her facial expressions said it all.
It's a sort of gallows humor. I've heard "I'd have to get better to die" quite a few times from friends and relatives when an illness was making life miserable for them.
Its also total nonsense. Doctors are treated like Gods in hospitals, and they certainly wouldn't do a nurses' job of pushing around patients and what not handling directly. They would have ignored or directed her to intake and a waiting area.
I love that they made Brad Pitt look like he glides across each shot. His shoulders and body almost never move like he hovers across the frame... Like death.
I always thought Joe's words, "It's not your time, sister" showed that as powerful as he was, he too was under orders from a higher power that had its own schedule in the way of things.
I can see this part a hundred times but every time I see that look on the daughters face it makes me laugh to tears, it's priceless. I know it wasn't as fluent as a native but it was close enough to scare the hell out her. thanks
@@lancehobbs8012 He said, "Go over to doctor lady, momma gon' be fine now." Then he says, "Obeah evil. I not evil omen." Then the last time it sounds like he says " 'mon " he does because he says, "No, man, I on holiday." Which is a valid moment to say that. Also, " 'mon " or "man" is normal slang. What's up man? Man that sucks! Man thinks he's a tough guy! Also, I'm pretty sure all Aussies do or have drank fosters at least a few times so...
When she asked to go to that next place, then he said close your eyes, the look she gave... Like OH S**T he's really gonna take me... she as an actress showed it so well. One of the best scenes of acting I have ever seen.
Death gave her a vision of the other side, Its why he say's "soon", And she smiled, Her pain slightly lessened at the thought of Heaven waiting and existing.
What an extraordinarily gift he gave her. Knowing what comes next must have been a great comfort to her at what she knew was the coming end of her life.
Always loved this movie as he plays death as something that is not evil not bad just something that exists .. but still has compassion. These scenes actually felt comforting.
Her interactions with Joe show they 2 sides of life. The emerging emotional awareness of human emotion and the time of ending, of needing the long rest. These are my favourite scenes in this film and possibly Brads best performances in any of his films. It's a wondrous journey from understanding nothing to understanding it all.
I always wonder what it is that he showed her that could bring such relief. Her loved ones in that next place, waiting for her? A vista of paradise? Her own self, young again? "soon".
It’s my hope that depending on how one lives his/her life the angel of death will be reflective of that personality before being taken away from this earth
@@stephenpassaggio9975 jesus christ its not racist! I thoguht the same thing. He was standing weirdly and obviously not "normal" which isnt always bad but from the woman's perspective he was definitely shifty. I thought it myself. Race has nothing to do with it. Get that crap out of your head.
I would, she will go to the next place peacefully. i am an old woman and it gives me a perspective, we all have to go to the next place, this issue is how.
When time has come to go, some older folks can see it coming, so they can step to you, to see you one last time and say goodbye. But It's up to you to recognize it for what it is, or u gonna regret it. When they face you, a kind smile on their face, but you're too egoistically involved into your "life" at least that's how you call this bunch of meaningless pile of crap. That's when u mess up. Bc it was then time to ask, time to confess, time to hug, time to take time.
Spot on. This happened to me visiting my grandma before I went overseas. I didn’t think it would be the last time. But she knew. It was way too rushed. I’ll never forget the look on her face as I was leaving. I’ll regret not spending more time forever.
When the grandma say Obeah Man... I love Brad Pitt face who reacting in this moment, he is like he think "Oh s h i t, she is strong, i am grilled/discovered " or "Say whaaaat ? "
We won't fully understand till we reach old age to see why she would rather go than to stay. Only you'd know till you get there when your ready for death.
I watched my mom die from cancer. She was weak, unable to leave her bed. She was out of it a little m. As much as I wanted her to not die, to not be sick, a part of me was relieved because she wasn’t suffering anymore
@@whystareatmyhighhair I assume you are judging serenity113. I will not judge you but I must say something. I have worked with dying children for 35 years. I have seen things that are hard to imagine and harder to describe. I can only presume, that by your comment, you have little experience with death. Some deaths are fortunate. Some deaths are horrible. For some, death is truly a relief. It is more than ok for Serenity113 to feel as she does. Rather we should celebrate the depth of her love for her mother to have assisted her. Be careful what and how you judge. Rather recognize that it is a world of vast experience. Be kind, be empathetic. Love.
I have seen this happen before where someone in a hospital says that they are sicker than another person when they have no idea what the other person is there for.
The accents are natural remind me of my Polish grandma speaking Polish to my Czechoslovakian pap they would speak in front of me pordportka but I said tell me the cuss words please so I don't get detention and grounded at home no mores

Yup, and she gives him the insight of how much pain humans can suffer.
@@edwindelic7085 It's almost like there's some.... script... you know.. telling everyone what to do!
@@johnpauljones9310
A script... in a movie ?? :O Nooo waay
Old people and others close to death often see people who are not there, it’s actually called visioning.
Love that observation
The lady in the wheelchair is a very good actress.
She unfortunately recently passed away. Lois Miller. Clocked 102. What a bad ass.
@@cwtrain She went to that next place...
Estela Lopez
Spectacular. It's a remarkable scene.
What an old woman playing a very old woman
Was

Little time on screen but very important to the film. Beautifully done.
Yeah, her and Jeffrey Holder, what luxurious voices they had.
She got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
She was a hundred years old in this scene
Absolutely True! 👍
Do you realise the irony of the daughter saying that her mother was sicker than Death?
It's a sort of gallows humor. I've heard "I'd have to get better to die" quite a few times from friends and relatives when an illness was making life miserable for them.
Brad at his most beautiful
he kills this accent, excellent acting!
So much mercy and empathy shown in just one word, "soon".
One of my favorite scenes.
Great remake of "Death takes a Holiday"
Glad I'm not the only one who knows the original movie.
Brad Pitt deserved a lot more credit for his acting than he got.
early career yes, but later career not so much.
He is more than just another handsome face he proved it here
Acting? Yes! Accent? No.
I used to hate him but he has grown tremendously as an actor IMO. I quite like him now.
@@autumnjade815 I've heard nothing but glowing reviews on his accent.
The levels of compassion implied in this scene of the movie, that and the way the score draws you deeper, it moves me so deeply.
Its also total nonsense. Doctors are treated like Gods in hospitals, and they certainly wouldn't do a nurses' job of pushing around patients and what not handling directly. They would have ignored or directed her to intake and a waiting area.
Depends on the country, not lile that in nordic countries
I love that they made Brad Pitt look like he glides across each shot. His shoulders and body almost never move like he hovers across the frame... Like death.
Whoever directed this movie deserves an Oscar.
I agree.
I always thought Joe's words, "It's not your time, sister" showed that as powerful as he was, he too was under orders from a higher power that had its own schedule in the way of things.
Maybe you should be glad Death didn't hear you say that...
I can see this part a hundred times but every time I see that look on the daughters face it makes me laugh to tears, it's priceless. I know it wasn't as fluent as a native but it was close enough to scare the hell out her. thanks
Really? Didnt he drop a " mon" at the start there? Isn't that like thinking Aussies drink fosters?
@@lancehobbs8012 He said, "Go over to doctor lady, momma gon' be fine now."
Then he says, "Obeah evil. I not evil omen."
Then the last time it sounds like he says " 'mon " he does because he says, "No, man, I on holiday."
Which is a valid moment to say that.
Also, " 'mon " or "man" is normal slang.
What's up man?
Man that sucks!
Man thinks he's a tough guy!
Also, I'm pretty sure all Aussies do or have drank fosters at least a few times so...
@Ravenna as an Australian: NO. We have not. That’s for bloody foreigners!

Great/Beautiful Scene!!!!!!!!!!

Pitt is a fabulous actor.
We thought he was just another pretty face, but he's a terrific actor.
What an extraordinarily gift he gave her. Knowing what comes next must have been a great comfort to her at what she knew was the coming end of her life.
I've watched this movie many times and I still love this scene. Joe is so caring and compassionate.
Always loved this movie as he plays death as something that is not evil not bad just something that exists .. but still has compassion. These scenes actually felt comforting.
A version of death that learns what it's like to be human

These are my favourite scenes in this film and possibly Brads best performances in any of his films. It's a wondrous journey from understanding nothing to understanding it all.
Brad Pitt’s face when he is found out by the old woman, “gigs up!”
Love this scene…every time it comes up I watch it
This movie was so underrated
movies like this are not made anymore, so true and so much feeling, movies today are just fast and stupid.
You're watching the wrong movies
I feel you. Quality movies are hard to come by.
Movies today are full of cynicism and bitterness disguised as humor
Woke and stupid.
@@davconelectric recommend me one. Something like this or like the classics
“Everyting gwan be iree”. My mantra.
So woman, no cry
No, no, don't shed no tears
She is so great in this!! So sweet, I want her to feel better!
Skøn film. Jeg græd.
One of the magic scenes in film. Love is everything.
Beautiful message given.
I always wonder what it is that he showed her that could bring such relief. Her loved ones in that next place, waiting for her? A vista of paradise? Her own self, young again? "soon".
Acting at it's very best is never forgotten !!!
This is scene is so powerful and terrifying if you put yourself in her shoes...
Love the concept/plot of this movie...Death curious of life...
God she is so beautiful!
It’s my hope that depending on how one lives his/her life the angel of death will be reflective of that personality before being taken away from this earth
no reason not to be
favorite scene in this movie! love this!
No man, I on holiday.
She passed away in 2020...she was 102.
Thanks for the update. I hope it was an easy passage.
I wouldn’t leave my mom with him.
😂
Racist

hear hear !
My Mother saw it coming her last words where "it's time to go".
I think we all will recognize death when we eventually see it. Great performance by the lady.
god damn how do you get through any of this scene without bawling like a child, as an actor or camera or crew, or viewer
yeah he's on a holiday and chooses a hospital, a great place to go on a vacation
yeah. "some spot, you pick" !!
Ever heard "work vacation" ?, It's fun. 😁
When the grandma say Obeah Man... I love Brad Pitt face who reacting in this moment, he is like he think "Oh s h i t, she is strong, i am grilled/discovered " or "Say whaaaat ? "
I can relate with the old lady, just make the pain go away. I am in so much pain every day I welcome death, but he never shows himself.
Me too, since childhood. Death is an old friend. Not my time, dammit.
MDMA!!
I never knew my paternal grandfather. He was a strong Black man. I hope he passed peacefully every time I see this. 🇻🇨
She readily recognizes Angel of Death. Captivating.
i don’t know why but when ever, i see this seen i get emotional …
An angel in scrubs.
Great scene though. Fabulous scene
The grandmotherly character demonstrates enormous trust in the face of DEATH!
Gave her a glimpse of the next place!
thank you, this was a huge help!
Eye from de next place....
Lol
He wouldn’t get away with that accent now.
Her pain must be truly unbearable since she's eager to leave her daughter who loves and cares for her. 😢

@@miguelservetus9534 I think he/she was referring to the OP, stating that she didn't mind leaving her daughter..
Brad Pitt is an Island Boiii!
The switch though 2:09 😂😂😂
This is one of my favourite parts.
Some place you pick for oliday, lol 😂 gets me! In a ospital!! 😂 😂
Everything gonna be Yrieeee!!!
Daughter: he jus a man
Daughter hears accent: 👁👁
When the good Lord comes for me ! I'm going out this world shouting thank you Jesus!!!!!
This scene is incredible
Some spot u pick
Pitt is amazing.
The old lady recognized who he was as soon as she saw him.
Meet joe black is an amazing movies its around 3 hours long
Been spending some time in the islands, Joe?
And suddenly he looked like the vampire from interview.
So very touching
"Then what you is, then?" IM JUZT AN IS-LAND BOY , JUZT AN IS-LAND BOY, JUZ TRYN NA MAYK EEET
😂😂
I have seen this happen before where someone in a hospital says that they are sicker than another person when they have no idea what the other person is there for.
Ppl who have briefly died and went over to the next Dimension always say that they never fear death after that brief moment
Imho the most impressive scene of the whole movie.
Why is no one talking about that accent??!!!!!😂😂🤣🤣
I wish my wonderful mother had that experience.
Honestly I'd totally believe death would take vacation in a hospital.
Tu vas ns la jouer Io nesco?
We dont die
This a new made me want to see this movie.
🏝 ISLAND BOIS 🏝
The fact she pointed him out and then he spoke back in their language should’ve creeped everyone out.
@1:28 when the daughter realizes "oh shit...mom might be right..."
Ah, shame you didn’t include the other scene between that old lady and Joe… probably my favourite.
In the Castilian dubbing the "island" speak was Portuguese, always thought that was a nice touch.
Well, with Brazil having Candomblé (a religion of African origins and mixed with Catholic sincretism and symbols) I would not be surprised.
The lady is a "seer". Seems it was the first time someone had recognized him.
How did she know ?
The accents are natural remind me of my Polish grandma speaking Polish to my Czechoslovakian pap they would speak in front of me pordportka but I said tell me the cuss words please so I don't get detention and grounded at home no mores
Best scene
Damn, im straight but brad pitt is the most beautiful man in the history of the world.
The music in this film I had to save.
Elderly lady says she is afraid of the person. Nurse wheels her directly within touching distance of same person.
LOL
like so much this movie
what does the pain feel like?
She's colorblind
Lois Kelly Miller was a gifted actress on Jamaican stage. I guess it wasn't her time, she died at age 102.
Goin to dat nex place mum. Soon, ….
BRAD PITT IS A GOOD ACTOR.
Her know
