the scene in the car where he tells her he can see dead people,and tells her about her mom coming to see her dance..she crushed that scene so hard.
Why is everything hard with your generation? Feelings.
what,pray tell,generation do you think I'm from?
I read somewhere that they kept Hailey Joel's line "every day" from Collette until the scene so her reaction was spontaneous. They were both really magic in that film, especially that scene.
I just watched the car scene and sobbed my eyes out. She's great!
Indeed
Only 27 years old, and she embodied the best of every single, sad hardworking mother in that car scene my god she deserved an Oscar for that 5min scene alone. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
💯
I literally had no idea she wasn’t American. I’m stunned lol. That makes her performance in The Sixth Sense even more impressive 🤯
Yes me neither
She's Australian.
@@SevenEllen
We knew Toni is an Aussie from her earlier movies here. Victorian here.
Still amazes me how well Australian actors do the American accent very well. I loved the tv series The Mentalist. Had no idea Simon Baker was an Aussie, had to google what he was in here when young, one of those soapies I never watched lol.
Saaaaame!!!
I knew she was Australian but yeah her American accent is very convincing
I’ve loved everything she’s been in, brilliant actress
I first saw Toni in Muriel’s Wedding just before seeing her in The Sixth Sense. She is indeed a very special actress.
She's one of those actors who's so real and immersed, you forget she's even an actor. She just _is_ Cole's mom, your brain doesn't even question it.
Underrated actor. I wonder if she knows she’s simply one of the best of all time.
Actress*
Actor is gender neutral
@@Jedicake so is mankind but people kick up a fuss about that for whatever reason
@@luigi59969 indeed
We say “actress” to reinforce her gender. More visibility to “female actors”.
She AND Haley Joel Osment should have OSCARS for those roles. One of the best movies of all time. Iconic! Her American/Philly accent was incredible in that movie. She never named the Marty movie she was hoping to get. An amazing story of how whatever she missed could never have been the break of a lifetime with a Top 10 movie of all time.
How did Bruce Willis not even get nominated?!!!?
How Toni Collette has never won an Oscar is beyond me.
She is SO NATURAL!
She does have an Emmy, though.
@@demh7823 True but I think the ultimate prize for any actor/actress is winning "Uncle Oscar".
@@dragonfly6908 Depends on how superficial the actor is.
@@Hoganply I highly doubt that is true although winning an Oscar can be the kiss of death for a career, Charlize Theron anyone?.
Toni's performance in "Hereditary" is one of the greatest portrayals of grief in all of cinema.
Agreed. I honestly hated the movie... but Toni made it watchable.
Hereditary is good for treating insomnia
EVERY. SINGLE. PERFORMANCE. SHE IS AMAZING AND PUTS IN HER ALL AND ITS SO NATURAL.
She is one of the greatest actors working today. She’s been great in everything, no matter the size of the role.
Her "Look at my face!" Lines are probably the most memorable to me of that movie. Delivered so real and believably.
First saw her in Muriel’s Wedding. She’s excellent every time, every role.
Muriel’s wedding was fantastic!
Me too, and I never forgot her after that. Amazing performance!
I have loved Toni's work from the 1st time I seen her in Muriel's Wedding. It was after that film that I was not surprised at any of the great work she has done. Amazing talent.
How her performance never won an Oscar is beyond me,? the car scene when she hears her mom saw her dance I was sobbing my heart out.
Especially her first reaction to "She saw you dance" 🤣
God I love Toni Collette. I just came from the car scene from The Sixth Sense. Her emotions and believable portrayal of grief is unmatched.
Years ago, I saw her in a film called "Clockwatchers" as an office temp, along with Parker Posey and a few other actresses. She had the "cerebral" role, less showy and more introverted than the others. She was great! I've loved her ever since!
I love that movie too! It’s an independent film so not a lot of people saw it, but it’s so good.
I love the way she talks about her work - it’s very respectful of the craft, but not performative like some actors who make out it’s more than it is.
That Australian accent! Who would have thought?? She’s an amazing actress indeed! 😅
Sixth sense, Little Miss Sunshine and About a Boy. Only ones I’ve seen and she’s awesome in all 3
Run, don't walk to go watch Hereditary right now!
She is amazing also in "Japanese Story" , a little Aussie indie- so, so good.
One of the best actresses of our time, if not all time
“Bringing Out the Dead” was the Scorsese film for which Toni Collette auditioned, and it was for the role played by Patricia Arquette (married at the time to the film’s leading actor, Nicolas Cage).
While promoting “United States of Tara” season 2 circa spring 2010, Collette was interviewed by Dave Davies of “Fresh Air.” Below is her answer of how she became involved with “The Sixth Sense,” and below that is the length to the full interview.
>>
Ms. COLLETTE: I was in New York, and I was desperate to work with Martin Scorsese. I went to audition for a part in a film he was making called "Bringing Out the Dead," and whilst I was here, my agent sent me another script.
And I didn't know much about it. He told me it was a new director, writer-director, and it was starring Bruce Willis. And no disrespect, but I just thought I don't want to do a movie like that. I just made an assumption about the kind of film it was going to be.
So I put off reading the script, and one night I was, you know, I was a little bit jet-lagged. I was up late, staying in a friend's apartment, and I thought oh, hell. I'll pick it up. And I couldn't put it down. And I just thought it was absolutely brilliant, and we all know about the twist at the end now, but man, the way you feel when you're watching it, I felt that when I was reading it. It was just so intense and so beautiful. I thought it was this beautiful, spiritual tale.
So, anyway, I went to meet Night, and I auditioned, and that's that. I get a message one day from my agent, and I call him back from a - this was before cell phones, so it was just a pay phone on the street. And I'd - he yelled on the phone: Toni, you've been offered. And I thought he was going to say, you know, the Scorsese film, and I screamed in the middle of the street.
And he said hang on, hang on. Did you hear me? You've been offered "The Sixth Sense." And I was like oh, no. And I remember feeling disappointed. Even though I liked it, you know, Martin Scorsese, you know, is like the be all and end all.
So I went back to my hotel room, and there were messages from Night, and he wanted to talk to me before I was flying back to Australia, and I was avoiding his phone calls. I was, like, oh, God. I don't want to commit to this one if the other one happens. The other one didn't happen. I ended up having an amazing experience on "The Sixth Sense." I loved making the movie. I loved working with everyone on that. I've got some great friends from that film, and there you have it.
THANK YOU! Before going down an imdb rabbit hole I thought I'd check the comments
Love this! What a performance!
This movie has an added layer of special for me because I also get messages from the other side. I don't see anyone and can't make it happen but it's mind blowing each and every time. It is a responsibility, not a blessing as one would think. It's very jarring for our bodies and trying to wrap my mind around how it could happen is still baffling every time. I'm an older gal so it's been most of my life. All that being said, this movie really opened up so many taboo subjects. Soo grateful for all of it.
My personal opinion? She should have won the Oscar for this role.
Also it's satisfying to see her wearing a vivid vermillion while talking about 'The Sixth Sense'
Incredible actress. Thank you!
Watch "The hours"... 5 minutes and she steals the movie. UNBELIEVABLE❤❤❤
The car scene was Oscar worthy and I’m still amazed she hasn’t won one.
She was absolutely incredible in that role. Matriarchal, vulnerable, hopeful, powerful, forgiving. Just amazing.
Her character acted, spoke and dressed completely like a mom from South Philadelphia. She was awesome!
One of the best twist endings in movie history.
I love her so much. She was so gorgeously beautiful and the car scene was amazing!
Muriel's Wedding.......is when I first Discovered this Amazing Woman....
Toni Collette is SO brilliant and versatile and willing to try any genre. I will never be able to watch Hereditary (far too scary for me), but I've seen the trailer and listened to many YT reviews of it.
@@lak1294
I haven't seen Heredity, either, but I did watch a clip where she's basically pouring everything in every square inch of her body out onto her son and her husband, and it's impossible to look away from her on the screen. The clip was about 5 minutes long, and I have never seen someone bear their entire soul in such a way. It was absolutely amazing.
So glad she forged her character differently. She looked like a REAL working class mom from that time. Genius
What a great actress.
As many have said before, the car scene is just a masterclass. Toni is an icon. We love you, Toni.
Muriel’s Wedding is still my fave movie of hers but she’s fantastic everything she’s in
Loved her since COSI with Ben Mendelson. They were so young.
This is one of the best movies ever made! No movie ever shocked an audience more. Haley Joel Osment was one of the best child actors out there! No one could have played the role like he did, and everyone LOVES BRUCE WILLIS!!! A true classic!
Brilliant Actor! ❤
Love that movie I'm from Philly and most of the places that I used to clean I used to clean apartment about the area that y'all were in taking yeah it's amazing amazing movie beautiful work thank you
Excellent actress
Toni is a brilliant actor
Toni is such an amazing actress!
Collette did an amazing job in the Sixth Sense. Was she nominated for any of the major acting awards for that performance?
I don’t know why, but Toni Collette has always been the hottest woman on the planet to me… 🔥😍
Our dear Muriel!!!! 💕
Muriel is what I MOST remember her for from back in that late 90's/early 2000's time period.
One of the greatest scenes in movie history. Wow.
She was so good in the Sixth Sense!!
Now I have to go check out the hair! Haven't seen that movie again since it first came out (though I did see it twice to see if I could see the twist).
Happy to hear she loved Philadelphia....Yea Philly...
one of the most underrated but secretly top 5 female actresses in the business.. going back to her role in Shaft she kills everything she’s in.. 2 game changers in Sixth Sense and Hereditary
She was very fortunate and ended up making history
'You're wonderful Muriel'
Toni Collette was terrific in "The Sixth Sense" (really, anything I've ever seen her in). It's interesting they had her read with Bruce Willis when, as everyone who has seen the movie knows, she and he don't really interact at all. They're in the same scene, but there's no back and forth between them.
Sixth Sense got her her first and only Oscar nomination so far
Looking great too.
❤
Her Philly accent in The Sixth Sense was spot on!
Changed everyone’s life that watched it.
She’s probably the most versatile actress of the last 30 years. Watch her in HEREDITARY and get back with thoughts. 😑 ✨
She should have been cast as the oldest daughter in August, Osage County
Whoa! You just blew my mind. I love Osage County and think Julia did an incredible job but you're right Toni would have been incredible.
@@JC11378 Absolutely! She would have been amazing
I want her to act opposite Joan Cusack in something. They are my favourites!
Good call
"The 6th Sense" would not have been the same without her. I am so glad she did the role.
❤️ Toni!
Her role In Hereditary 🎉❤
My favorite performance of hers will always be Connie and Carla, hands down!
She seems more American than Americans in her roles.
I heard her accent in this video an thought, "She's doing a British accent for an interview?" And no, her American accents in movies are the acting part and I have to agree she is an incredible actress.
@@DylansPenthat’s an Australian accent
@@jam357 Fair enough.
I've watched this movie about 5 times. I never recognized Toni Collette. Am I this clueless? Naw, she's that good.
Bring Out The Dead is the Scorcese movie btw.
"You're terrible Muriel" 😂❤
love me some toni!
Honestly she may well be my most favorite actor. Never seen her be bad in anything.
I wonder what the Scorsese part was ?
Random Trivia fact, Donny Wahlberg was the young man in his underwear. He did a phenomenal job.
Legend
Saw a movie called unlocked she was in few years ago ver good
It still angers me she was snubbed for Hereditary
If you haven't seen the movie mental, you should.
Stupid question: Did the ring fall off his finger cuz it was loose cuz he was dead? I never thought of that ‘til now. Dumb me. M Night Shalaman’s other movies don’t compare to The Sixth Sense.
His wife was holding his wedding ring in her hand while watching the wedding video and dropped it when she was sleeping.
He never had the ring and never checked his hand.
@@anujpramanik1819 That's a great point. Now I have to watch the movie again to see if any scenes show him wearing a wedding ring he shouldn't be wearing.
@@debra2700 Cole while talking about the dead told Malcolm "They only see what they want to see." which is why Malcolm never checked his hand or why his basement study was always locked or the big ass blood spot on the back of his shirt.
@@anujpramanik1819 Great points or the fact that Cole was petrified the first time he saw Malcolm because it was just another dead person coming at him for something and Malcolm never figured that out either.
It's nice to hear how my life, impacted others.
I'm the guy M. Knight heard on the radio, and he wrote the book over.
Watch her in "United States of Tara", you will be blown away.
Downloaded it yesterday and balled my eyes out towards the end. Amazing movie. Wanted it to last for 2 more hours
I'm blown away by the fact that she nailed that east coast accent, coming from Australia?!!
what scorsese movie she was she talking about here?
Probably Bringing Out The Dead also 1999, looks like could of been the part Patricia Arquette got.
I still never have seen "The Sixth Sense", I don't know how that happened, ha.
Lucky you can see it for the first time then. One of the greatest ever...
I totally forgot that she was Australian 😂
❤

Rare breed and not just for an actor: she actually stops talking. Wow.
Amazing talent.
She read with bruce?
I believe she is one of our best actors in the business. I had no idea she was even British till I watched her first interview. She is unbelievably talented.
She’s Australian!
@mariadore7000 thank you. I have a difficult time separating accents. Whichever ancestry, she is one of my favorite actors. Thank you again.
She’s Australian, unfortunately
British lmao!
"I read with Bruce." That's great, but why?
She lucked out big time in getting offered the Sixth Sense instead of "Bringing Out the Dead" (the Scorsese movie). Most actors would have JUMPED at working with Martin Scorsese! But ultimately, Toni was spectacular in the Sixth Sense. Not to knock Scorsese, but how may people remember or talk about "Bringing Out the Dead" nowadays? EVERYONE knows "The Sixth Sense".....
Is she the same woman from Hereditary?
Reminds me of Lisa Kudrow who got “fired” from Frasier (they didn’t think she could pull off “bitchy”) before it ever got off the ground only to end up on Friends. I think Lisa even has a TED Talk on it. You just never know…
She basically played Phoebe a year ahead of time on Mad About You, just named Ursula.
@@zammmerjammer that’s right. Phoebe and “Ursula” were twins. I’m not sure if “Phoebe” was on Mad About You, but Ursula was on Friends a few times.
It's funny that she mentioned having a reading with Bruce Willis, since she doesn't actually talk to him in the film.
I didn't know Toni Colette is British!! She was amazing in this important film.
*Australian
no she's Australian
If you haven't seen it you should look into a movie called Muriel's Wedding..... This is one of the first movies I remember seeing her in. It is very Australian and so funny😂
The horror of her grief in the film Hereditary haunts me; the way she screams like an animal.
Great actress with great curvy thumbs too
Collette: _I was totally blown away by_
>spoiler alert<
_Bruce Willis being DEAD all along!_
_Amazeballs, eh?_
lol
