Meet Joe Black (1998) REACTION

[@billparrish4385]

I love the two scenes with the Jamaican lady, played by veteran stage and screen actress Lois Kelly-Miller. A household name in Jamaica throughout her decades-long career, she was born Oct. 15, 1917, and passed away April 8, 2020. Such a lovely lady! And her death scene was so poignant, brilliantly played, almost as if you could see her face _deflate_ somehow, as the life left it. I first thought there had to be special effects involved, slowing the film or morphing the shot into a still capture perhaps. But, it was simply the unquestionable talent of the lady. Brava!

[@thoso1973]

I remember watching this in the cinema. When Brad goes shirtless, ~200 women in the audience sighed loudly in sync and it was hilarious. Never experienced it again since that day. 😆

[@devlinallistair-zx5by]

I remember 200 women screaming in horror when those cars played ping pong with him 😂

[@kylespeirs6510]

One of the best car crashes over a body in a movie. In the theater the women were disappointed when Pitt was run over. Good work

[@fda4556]

Recuerdo el olor que había estaban como loquitas

[@michellecrocker2485]

Hey, his smile is enough. Him shirtless is just a bonus

[@michellecrocker2485]

Coffee shop scene had to have been the meet cute that invented the meet cute

[@adiarainfoster]

She understood who Joe was at the end when they were saying goodbye. She just wasn't willing to say it out loud because she was afraid. And yes, I think she also knew that he was there for her father, which you hear at the very end when she tells the guy "I wish you could have known my father." I think she ran after them probably to hope to save her father and to try to keep joe with her.

[@OrangePony75]

16:47 he didn’t took her life nor her pain. He showed her a glimpse of what was coming (“soon”). That helped her, brought her some relief, and is not far from what many testimonials have said about people getting close to death.

[@merkitten953]

He told her no many times but she begged him, so he made it so she would die soon. When he stares into her eyes he is making it so that she will die, he just makes it not right away so she can prepare & have a little more time with her loved ones. But he says 'soon' because he judt MADE IT be soon. He doesnt kill her on the spot, but he makes her death come early.

[@michellecrocker2485]

Yup. There’s a line you don’t cross with a guy’s daughter and Joe just crossed it. I’ve noticed that’s the point of contention between Joe and bill. It’s not that Susan fell in love. It’s that she fell for someone who didn’t know the first thing about what it meant to truly love someone

[@neil2444]

The actress playing the Jamaican old woman passed away, and Brad Pitt was there at her funeral.

[@SingleTax]

If that's true, then that just raised my respect for him.

[@danielhaas9612]

It's one of my favorite story plots. Death got to have a taste of life and love, realized how beautiful it was and what he was taking away from peple. He didn't want to leave it behind or what he came to love, so he too kinda died in his own way. Brilliant story. Your next Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins movie... "Legends of The Fall". You guys will love it.

[@stephanieallangarman5598]

Yes, LEGENDS of the FALL…I haven’t seen it for many years but it left a AMAZING impression. 💁🏻‍♀️🤍👏🏽

[@Holkennnn]

Thank you. I will watch Legends of The Fall right away. Was just blown away by this movie!

[@GetMeThere1]

I've watched this film many times. It's one you can never get tired of. Lovely. I'm glad you all liked it as much as I do.

[@christian30061]

I just watched this movie and by the time I croak........Lord knows how many times I will see it.

[@dolphmanity]

My favorite scene is when Anthony Hopkins stares death in the face at the end, before they walk over the hill. Death stares back at him, but looks away, first. So beautiful...

[@MadMax-pu1kj]

This is my favorite romantic movie! My fav scene (not shown in the reaction) was the other sister saying to her father, "I know I was not your favorite... but you were mine." Love, love love that scene.

[@chestfish7192]

thats a really underappreciated scene, i agree that it was the best, because it felt unbelievably real. The other one I loved was when Sir Hopkins talked about his late wife to Joe and got teary eyed. That was a brief, moving scene also.

[@ollehedstrom3536]

What a brilliant movie. I just can’t understand I missed it back in 1998. Some 25 years ago. Acting, plot, music. Everything brings tears into my eyes, and specifically that gorgeous looking woman, Claire Forlani , playing Susan. One of the most underrated films of all time.

[@michaeln3044]

This to me is one of Brad’s most underrated performances. He does so many subtle things in his performance.

[@thatonkgau5221]

Another great underrated film with Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins I recommend is Legends of the fall.

[@chefskiss6179]

"They killed Brad Pitt!" needs to be made into a 'short' 😂 😂 😂

[@isabeauwolf562]

I said the same thing when I saw this movie for the first time! I was with my mom, "Mom, they can't just kill off Brad Pitt! Come back!" My mom just laughed and said, "We'll see, honey."

[@stevenorellano2039]

They killed Brad Pitt! You bastards!

[@pearluniverse7878]

Death isn’t evil, he just is. It’s inevitable but not evil.

[@donaldduncan7095]

Evil spelled backwards is Live. ;-)

[@simonfrederiksen104]

Good and evil are human concepts. They don't apply as soon as there is no human is around judge one way or the other.

[@IsaacMuntz]

​@@donaldduncan7095 That doesn't prove anything 😂😂😂

[@Michael-Ray]

Glad more and more KZbinrs are finally reacting to this iconic movie. 👍

[@Andyvex]

Yes finally 😂! It's been a long time since, from time to time, I exposed myself in the comments to recommend this movie... and now here you are with your wonderful reaction. I don't want to go into too much detail, just that this movie is one of my all time favorites. It hasn't won major prizes, it's not one of the best known... but it certainly does tell a story with great themes and great delicacy. Every time I see it I laugh and cry, I am moved by the beautiful soundtrack and the great performances of its actors. I hope who has entered your heart as much as me (and many others) 😊. Glad you saw it and shared it with us 🤗.

[@leventmuyan21]

This movie plays with our emotions like no other. And at the end we are all inspired....the acting, the script, the directing, the cinematography and the music are really well used in this movie

[@Stogie2112]

As you all like Brad Pitt so much, I recommend "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", an amazing story about a man who was born old and grows younger and younger every day. Co-starring Cate Blanchett. Be sure to have your tissues nearby!

[@chefskiss6179]

Yes! I can't wait for that one.

[@SayGahTaah]

Yeeeeeehhhhss

[@SoorM]

Yes! I'm surprised that there are very few videos about it. Definitely worth watching. In my opinion, it has the same features as Forrest Gump. If you like that, you'll definitely like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

[@Stogie2112]

@@SoorM .... Benjamin Button had some similarities with Forrest Gump, but the story was much more intimate, IMO. Forrest Gump was a social & historical commentary as well as a personal love story. Benjamin Button was primarily the story of Benjamin, his life and his loves - especially Daisy.

[@ericlima8058]

UP!!!!

[@ThatBlackPiano]

THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS!!! This is one of my all time favorite movies.

[@comedyriff5231]

Another great Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins movie you might enjoy is "Legends of the fall".

[@vincew4297]

The noise Michelle made at 20:40 had me cracking up lol Brad had her in a trance 😂. Also at the end Susan did know who he was. When he stared into her eyes it goes back to the old adage “staring death in the eyes/face.” That’s why she quivered when she said “you’re Joe.” But she also realized she’d fallen in love with death but wanted to know the feeling was mutual which is why she wanted him to tell her he loved her and why he said “thank you for loving me.”

[@VadulTharys]

Most people fail to realize that, thank you for pointing it ou.

[@blueboy4244]

Susan knew when she 'really' stopped to look at him.... as she is a doctor and thus has seen him ...not directly.. but still.. many many times

[@dolphmanity]

Anthony Hopkins stares death in the face at the end. Death stares back at him, but looks away, first. So beautiful...

[@matthewkendall5235]

It is an awesome movie with a great supporting cast and many excellent moments up to the final reveal - to me it showcased what an absolutely excellent actor Brad Pitt is!

[@mathewnavarro1152]

This is absolutely one of my ALL TIME favorite movie's ever. Brad Pitt really shows his skills here and Anthony Hopkins is exceptional as ever. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this, and it still manages to bring tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful piece of film. They just don't make them like this much anymore.

[@kathleencory4998]

Me, too! I watch it at least once a year and now I'm even watching reactions! lol Literally in my top movies of all time!. I love the business parts as well as the romance. It's a perfect combination of everything!

[@michellecrocker2485]

This is the point of contention for Bill and Joe here. Bill isn’t gonna care that this guy here is sexy grim reaper here. There’s a line you don’t cross with him: his daughter. It’s clear Joe wants to cross that line. The issue isn’t that Susan is in love, it’s that she’s in love with someone who doesn’t know what it’s like to truly love someone and that’s where bill is drawing the line in the sand

[@miker252]

This is a remake of the 1934 movie, Death Takes a Holiday." As I remember, in that film, it gets pretty grim, when people can't die while he is on vacation.

[@y2k029]

Great reactions ladies... awesome movie.. the ending was superb...saw this in theater... I was in loved with Claire F....hi Vicki 😍

[@mefw]

I always felt , she fell in love with death ok he had "Joe's" body, you can say she fell of the physical being but for me she was in love with the personality.

[@michellecrocker2485]

Susan was hungry for something but it wasn’t food😂 looking for her bite of Joe

[@captbrownbeard1599]

Can you imagine realizing that you had fallen in love with death and that death loves you as well. How can any relationship stand up to the love of an eternal being? On the pkus side she would never have to fear dying because an old love will be coming to collect her.

[@petergoss821]

Always love the accident scene reactions. The soundtrack to this movie is also quite remarkable. Good movie overall.

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

A loose remake of a 1934 movie called "Death Takes a Holiday" starring Fredric March which itself was based on the Broadway play of the same name

[@gmunden1]

This is a remake of the 1934 film "Death Takes a Holiday", starring Fredric March. You should also watch this.

[@popcornthemagictalkingcat7996]

Someone suggested Benjamin Button which was great, my Brad Pitt suggestion is Interview with a Vampire. Can i also suggest Gremlins (Christmas movie), Goonies, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Stand by Me. Thanks and I enjoy your reactions🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@terryhughes7349]

I still think the best Brad Pitt-Anthony Hopkins hookup is "Legends of the Fall" but this one was very well done, too.

[@doorran]

I didn't used to think Brad Pitt was a good actor til I saw "12 Monkeys" and "interview with a vampire". He did not ad lib anything in 12 "Monkeys".. He memorized it all from the script. ...which was amazing.

[@stephanieallangarman5598]

You’re ALL so AWESOME…I appreciate your heartfelt reaction. I also felt this was one ☝🏽 of BRAD PITT’s BEST MOVIES 🎥🙇🏻‍♀️❤️🥰. Thank you BEAUTIFUL LADIES for watching this and making positive comments. Merry Christmas 🎄🤍🕊👏🏽 2022’.

[@mefw]

When death is on holiday , no one can die.

[@bernardoaguilargt3763]

2:53 I was so young watching this movie for the first time that I still didn't know why ALL the girls had the exact same reaction to Claire Forlani's face right there. I'm 49 now and not that clear about it, but I'm making progress.

[@DavidMyrmidon]

My favourite scene, was when she realized who he was.. but never said it. The entire build up to it was awesome.. I love watching that. It's got most (if not all) emotions attached to it. Even the dialogue.. whooh.. Great Movie.

[@madago4785]

The fact that he says that he is from the IRS (in charge of collecting taxes) is a joke, and it also fits the plot, which refers to the famous phrase attributed to Benjamin Franklin, among others, although it may be earlier "In this world , nothing is certain except death and taxes.” Two things that cannot be avoided.

[@michellecrocker2485]

OMG! That smile! I can’t take that incredible smile!

[@blakewalters1001]

The other beautiful addition is that in the end, Anthony Hopkins is approaching death with dignity and understanding; not the other way around.

[@johncourtright1632]

Wonderful reaction ladies!! One of my favorite movies (and soundtracks)! Viki, you have such a soft heart! ♥ Another romantic movie that you'll all love is "The Lake House" (starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock). One bit of feedback for future videos ... the sound levels of the film were too low relative to your voices. If the volume was turned up loud enough for the dialogue of the film to be heard, your voices were WAY too loud. If the volume was turned down enough for the three of you to not be shouting, the film could barely be heard. Please tell whoever mixes your videos in the future to match the sounds levels more closely. Thanks! Great reaction though!

[@t.k.8815]

con 29 años, Es mi película favorita, la habré visto unas 8 o 9 veces, y cada vez que la veo es como la primera vez, siempre me emociona, cada parte de la película esta hecha de forma perfecta. y la seguiré viendo siempre.

[@isabeauwolf562]

I said the same thing when I saw this movie for the first time! I was with my mom, "Mom, they can't just kill off Brad Pitt! Come back!" My mom just laughed and said, "We'll see, honey." 😆 Next year, it will be 4 years since my dad passed away. So this movie always makes me cry. He passed away of a heart attack in the middle of the night. My older sister called me at midnight to tell me she tried so hard to save him, but couldn't.

[@pinball1970]

5.53. 'Two cars crashed him ' I love the Englarian phrases that only you put in your commentary. Brilliant.

[@michellecrocker2485]

That SMILE! I can’t take that smile. SWOON

[@alicestephens2233]

This is actually a remake of an old movie called Death Takes A Holiday...Its about Death wanting to live a normal life but realizing he cant

[@djlu3011]

If you really think about it...the only sympathy is for death. Hes the only one losing. Everyone else gets what they want. The dad lived a life full of happiness. The daughter is reunited with her love and starting her journey of happiness. The only one who sacrificed is death. The only sad ending here is for death. Joe Black will live an eternity of despair without love while everyone else will be happy. Joe Black was the main character in this movie. And for the main character...this was a sad ending. Not a happy one.

[@Stevarooni]

It's bittersweet, but it is also a story of growth and learning. Death learns what love is, and can better sympathize with those he takes from life. He had love for a time.

[@cinemeleon2808]

Watch Brad Pitt in the classic movie 'Legends of the Fall' ladies. You will thank me later, as it will TRIPLE your love for him. Also, the father in this movie (Bill Parrish) play his father in that movie.

[@procyontrainingservicehors2420]

When Joe put his hands on the old lady & she smiled it's because he gave her a glimpse into the next place.

[@lisamaitland157]

16:31 Death was showing her Heaven, giving her many pictures to remember till her time is ready.

[@mrmusicaddict87]

Hey ladies, if you haven't watched it already you should watch Legends of the Fall which also has Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. Great movie just get the tissues ready 🙂

[@Blandina11]

Yup, "Legends Of The Fall" 👍👍😊😊😊

[@aronsnz9248]

I remember that my mom played that movie every time we had family or friends visitors, there were so many times that I remember the dialogues by heart.

[@teeheeteeheeish]

"Well... death will meet her one day" was brutal lmafoooooooo

[@d4mdcykey]

If you enjoyed Pitt in this drama I would highly recommend a film of his called A River Runs Through It. Truly fantastic acting and a wonderful story.

[@Shy-Money]

Joe Black (Death) is experiencing the full emotions of life. Just like a teenager, infatuation.. From start to finish. He is very naive and cold, but it's his selfish nature because of it towards the end. His blinding love... . .

[@SayGahTaah]

Brad pitt in his sexiest is Legends of the Fall. Also hope yall catched free guy recreated that scene when he got hit by 2 cars. When Lia said they killed Brad Pitt idk why but she reminded me of Morticia Adams

[@LumberBrain]

I love this movie. All actors do a phenomenal job.

[@MrModel--CAPTURED-ON-FILM]

All of you might like the movie, "Somewhere In Time" with Christopher Reeve.....

[@eglantinepapeau1582]

16:45 he showed her that she would not be in pain after her death that's why she looked reassured

[@zenn69hendrix]

Claire Forlani !! "The Rock" (1996) it was good film to me.

[@Zralock79]

I kinda like Brad Pitt only in a few movies. This is one of them. The other ones are: Se7en 12 Monkeys Interview with the Vampire

[@michellecrocker2485]

They humanize the grim reaper here. Usually the GR has that “ it’s just business “ mentality towards humans but this one seems like he has a little more compassion towards them.

[@collectorbob810]

12:18 watch "burn after reading" brad Pitt was a scream in that movie.

[@RobiOne313]

I love how they just walk off together to go back to the party while the dad is laying dead in the bushes somewhere over that bridge 😅

Used to like being tough now your emotions are closer to the surface I see the real you and I thought fucked I’m hooked !❤ Anyway, to me, the point of the movie is…don’t let that moment in the coffee shop pass you by !! Seize it

If you would like to see another one of Brad Pitts best performances, you should watch "Legends Of The Fall" ... Not only a spectacular movie, but Brad Pitt is awesome in this one

[@lexwells4763]

I knew you would like this movie Michelle. I'm sorry Ellie wasn't apart of this viewing. You said it wasn't her father's choice who she loves because its her choice. I've come to learn there was a time in society adults chaperoned their young when it comes to love. The reason why was because marriage to the wrong person can ruin the rest of your life. Adults know more about the history of the town or place they live and use that knowledge to provide guidance to their young so they don't mess up their lives. In the movie the father says "I've loved Susan since the moment she was born. I love her now and every moment in between. I want someone who is worthy of her." That's the key word "worthy." That's why adults used to guide their young. They wanted to help in selecting someone "worthy." I know you will like "Extraction" with Chris Hemsworth. Ellie will like it as well. Maybe even more than you.

[@dannyboy4186]

I think I spent more time with my eyes on Michelle than I did the film. Totally in love with her. Great reaction to a great film ladies. And now I’m on my way to Bulgaria.🛫😍

[@nickrizzi4927]

You Homies are so adorable. Your reactions so kindly emotional. Sometimes prematurely judging but in the moment very true. Love the European and other jargon....so honest. My only contribution to your great clip and this wonderful movie, albeit macabre... her face acting, quite specifically, is beyond remarkable. She speaks a thousand words in one single curl of a top lip..truly remarkable and as it is written maybe very true. Wonderful movie.

It is my belief, with the old lady in the hospital, he did not cure her pain, he has no control over that, but he showed her a vision of the next place, which was enough for her to wait until her time came. "Soon.".

You girls are all truly beautiful. This film, when it came out was a twist. You went to movies because your girl wanted to. Brad Pitt. All men hated him then ;) Beautiful bastard.
