Bill was such an honorable man, even when he was betrayed by Drew, he seemed like he was protecting Drew when he thought Death gonna do something to Drew.

This movie is a piece of Hollywood perfection. I’m not saying it’s flawless or “the best ever”, but it just perfectly represents what Hollywood of that era did so well.
Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins are legendary together. Legends of the Fall is another classic with Anthony Hopkins as Brad Pitts father. My first encounter of Brad Pitt was Legends of the Fall and I've have been a Pitty ever since!

GREAT film, great music! I don't just watch films, I STUDY films. Obviously some people don't have the depth to go this deep. If you can't or don't appreciate this film you can always go back to watching Rambo, or Independence Day or something else that requires little or no thought on your part to understand... something entertaining without the effort to have to process what you're watching would seem to be more up your alley!
The writing and execution of this scene alone destroys half the films out there now! Just the fact that "Anything Goes" is playing in the background while they deliver those final punchlines is gold. 👌🏼
There's only a few movie I can watch over and over again and this is one of them. So many epic scenes I can't even count. Damn I just finished watching it and now I wanna watch it again.
One of the greatest sleeper films of all time. Such an original story and wonderful acting. The writing is magnificent and the movie has one of the best final scenes of all time. I'm a red blooded 47 year old American male and it brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. The pairing between Anthony and Brad is spot on and the movie has so many inspirational quotes you can imagine. I'm glad I have it on DVD because if it were VHS the tape would certainly be worn out by now by 10 fold. If you don't have this in your collection or seen it you MUST!
@@OnceShy_TwiceBitten viewing clips is the same as capslocking "absolutely gorgeous" in every clip ? More importantly, why do you feel the need to lamely White Knight some anonymous stranger on the internet ? Are you, perchance, gay yourself ? Not that there’s anything wrong with that !
There’s something beautiful about Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” playing in the background. With death, you’re not sure of what’s to come, but anything can happen.
I also love the scene Bill reprimands Joe about love when Joe said he's going to take Susan with him because she loves him and vice versa. Highly educating scene.
The original script of this film had Joe Black start to reveal his identity when Parrish interrupts and says he'a an IRS agent and when he made the explanation of their investigation, Joe Black played along.
2:18 The man deserves an Oscar _just_ for that look. 3:48 "Make no mistake, should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be looking at an outcome that will have a finality that is beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting the days, or the months, or the years, but millenniums, in a place with no doors." I want a movie set there. I wanna know more about the nature of this being.
His character reminds me of Mark Twain’s young satan in “the mysterious stranger”. A young, beautiful stranger that also has a peculiar and cruel way about him, but friendly to the innocent.
To me this is o e of the funniest scenes in this amazing movie! Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt are peerless in this movie! The slow stunned look on their respective faces is such great acting and that killer final line: "Death and Taxes". So great.
"Death and taxes." Nice editing job on the clip. This was a much better movie than its box office draw indicated. I've never been a huge Brad Pitt fan, but his dead-pan delivery was perfect for this role.
One of the best most moving films ever. The Director, the Cast and Thomas Newman all made this incredible. It's long for a reason, a film about life and death needs time to tell the story. It's perfect!
I suggest there should be a kind of award called Delayed Awards, just waiting for the movies being absorbed deeper more in audiences to get the right judgement on the movie. Like give it 10 years, 15 years and we bring them out to review and grant awards? I have seen a lot of movies underrated.
At 1:34, when Brad Pitt utters, “The time has come to tell you who I am,” I love how the music from the party ends and the silence for what’s to follow is ineffable, given that we might be duped into thinking Death would disclose his identity. This scene is incredible with the rest of an artistic, witty, and emotional movie!
The unwavering conviction in Brad (Joe's) face is a bit frightening and then the "Death and Taxes". Freakin priceless! This scene is one of my favorites in the whole movie.
I love the complex statement full of six syllable adjectives that describes the old guy. Speed and tone without stuttering. Give Brad a certificate for that.
You know, I've heard people say that this movie is boring as hell, but they don't get it. Many of us do, and believe what you want, but this movie taught me to appreciate life just a little more.

This movie Did not have gratitude nudity It did not have gratuitous bad language It had excellent casting It had excellent lines It had excellent character development It was one of the best made movies.
This is one if the films that are so well made, it's hard to replicate. Excellent concept for a storyline. Characters are superbly created with an essence of comedic charm and malice on many levels. The acting, oh' the acting is on another level all together. Pitt and Hopkins are fucking awesome
I love this movie the critics were not kind but every person who has seen it loves it. Its addictive to watch and this scene is epic . Only thing scarier than death is the IRS coming for ur ass. It's the only way they finally got al Capone. Cheating taxes baby ull be stick in a federal prison and having to pay every cent back with interest . No matter how rich or poor nobody wants to screw with IRS. See how fast drew caved. Love brad Pitt in this scene he got justice for bill and did it in such a calm cool way . I recommend everyone see this film. It's really good and was a sleeper at the box office but on cable and video at the time people really loved it .

I love Hopkins reaction when he thought Pitt was going to reveal he was Death but instead said he was an IRS agent!🤣
He thought that Pitt was going to take Drew, too, as part of the revelation.
Hopkins is the best actor in the world in my book. His slight facial expressions always make his character more real and fleshed out.
What’s the difference?
He is such a great actor. His timing was perfect
The way he took time to comprehend the trick.. that’s very real considering it’s not something he planned.
This is one of the most satisfying movie scenes ever, in every capacity, bar none!

This scene is just perfection. The dialogue, the sting, the music in the background..... underrated movie!

"death and taxes" ICONIC
I love how Death is being cool but still doesn’t get the idiom of “talking out of your hat” 😆
One of my favorite movies. One of my favorite scenes. Fantastic cast, direction, and writing. 🙂❤🎬🎥🎞👍 'Agent' in training. 🇺🇸⚖

John L. Reed Its in taxes Not and
Glorious mic drop
This movie
Did not have gratitude nudity
It did not have gratuitous bad language
It had excellent casting
It had excellent lines
It had excellent character development
It was one of the best made movies.
This is one if the films that are so well made, it's hard to replicate.
Excellent concept for a storyline.
Characters are superbly created with an essence of comedic charm and malice on many levels.
The acting, oh' the acting is on another level all together.
Pitt and Hopkins are fucking awesome
Love the background music. "Anything Goes!"
I love this movie the critics were not kind but every person who has seen it loves it. Its addictive to watch and this scene is epic . Only thing scarier than death is the IRS coming for ur ass. It's the only way they finally got al Capone. Cheating taxes baby ull be stick in a federal prison and having to pay every cent back with interest . No matter how rich or poor nobody wants to screw with IRS. See how fast drew caved. Love brad Pitt in this scene he got justice for bill and did it in such a calm cool way . I recommend everyone see this film. It's really good and was a sleeper at the box office but on cable and video at the time people really loved it .
Pay attention to the audio! The music ends when "Mr. Black" makes his revelation, and doesn't start again until afterwards. Brilliant!
I love the shot of the steely blue eyes when he makes the deadly threat of counting millenniums in a place with no doors. Great photography!
