CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) encourages his hesitant daughter Susan (Claire Forlani) to be open to finding real love.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The cycle of life on Earth hangs in the balance when Death becomes emotionally involved in this romantic fantasy. William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) is a tremendously wealthy and powerful man who oversees a worldwide multi-media empire. Despite the loss of his wife, whom he dearly loved, William is content with his life, and he's very close to his two daughters, Allison (Marcia Gay Harden) and Susan (Claire Forlaini). One night, as William is fighting a hostile takeover of his company and Allison is planning an elaborate party to celebrate her dad's 65th birthday, William begins displaying the symptoms of a severe heart attack, and he is visited by a mysterious stranger, Joe Black (Brad Pitt). Joe is actually the angel of death, who has taken the form of a man who recently passed on to pay William a call. It seems that William is due to move on to the next world, but (no great surprise) he doesn't want to go. Joe, on the other hand, is curious to know what life is like for mere mortals, so the two men strike a deal -- William will have some time to get his affairs in order, and Joe will wait and see what it's like to be a human being. Joe decides that he likes it very much when he falls in love with Susan, but negotiating the slippery slopes of romance is no easier for Joe than for any ordinary man. Meet Joe Black is an updated version of Alberto Casella's play Death Takes a Holiday, which was adapted for the screen in 1934.

Every Father should have this talk with his daughter.
or with their son :D i wish my dad told me that ..
So dads shouldn't have this talk with their son? Or mums shouldn't have this talk with their daughter???
My dad wanted my sister to watch this scene because he was disappointment in her choice.
@@Locutus exactly! Good point
@@paulunzueta101 No, not really. His point is not exluding anything.
The way Anthony Hopkins delivers his lines absolutely priceless.
Completely agree
That's one reason he's such a good actor, no?
So priceless
I wish my dad was as eloquent as he
He's such a great actor!
Lightning struck 33 years ago when I asked a lady WAY out of my league out and she felt the same way!! I wake up every morning like a kid on Christmas morning!!
lucky man
I met this girl... and she said yes... and I was the happiest man on earth everyday, even tough ones... and I was a fool, listened to the wrong persons, and lost her... and I don't live anymore
@@Bazuzeus I am very sorry for you. But you should know that if your happiness and joy depends on someone, you are gonna be very miserable when that person will be gone. Just try to fall in love with life, with the people around you that have cared about you long before she did. Fall in love with nature, why not? It's always been there, always been beautiful because it never asked for attention. Make your life worth living. I wish you the best of luck!
👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
Well done ~ good on you for plucking up the courage to ask her out. I imagine your life was never the same after that day. :-)
Claire Forlani is such a natural beauty. Gorgeous lady and excellent actor.
Love this line, "I want you to get swept away out there. I want you to levitate. I want you to sing with rapture and dance like dervish."
nah. it's Joe eating peanut butter.
i love the part when he said "you have to try. if you haven't try, you haven't lived." *mesmerising*
I tried but it didnt work out though .... 🤷♀️ but at least, I tried.
In most cases, that kind of love is not two ways. It's only one sided.
@@elianas5374 like most obsessions. passion is desireable, but hard to find. Getting along and live as a family is different. Most people don't live under the love obsession.
That line is so true. And we don't have to apply it only when we search love or a life partner, in everything what we ever wanted and I think its just the best way to live the life at it fullest
Eliana Speciale my comment was 6 years ago. Im 30 now and still single hahaha
He is so right. My husband died of cancer last month and I am so lost. We had that passion and friendship that I will never have again. We loved each other thru our faults, our similarities and our history together. It hurts so much now that sometimes I don't think I can take another breath. I don't know how people get thru this...Please hug and kiss the person that loves you for the same reasons we loved each other because it does go by in a blink.
It really is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
tays gram i know it’s 2 years later but I hope whoever you are, and wherever you are, you are doing ok ❤️
tays gram I feel for you so much. My husband was diagnosed and died within the year. I wish I could hold your hand and lead you through the coming time. It took me six years before I could start living again. I left my home in TN and moved to my home state, CA. It was a good thing- my family is here - but nothing will ever be the same. And don’t let anyone tell you there is a time table for grief. You’ll get through it at your own pace. Don’t worry, you won’t forget or “ get over it”. In my case the love wrapped and carried me through. I pray for you. All will eventually be better.
( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( Warm Firm Embrace ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )
Hang in there, it's nice that you had that.. I was married to an abusive drunk, and finally had to kick him out.. I can't remember how much I cried in those days and how much it has affected mine and my kids' lives.... may God's peace be with you
This is my most favorite part of any movie EVER.
People don't understand when I say this is one of my favorite movies, EVER. :)
My favourite part of any movie EVER is when we see the refit USS Enterprise.
oh dear...
Claire Forlani’s eyes were made in the heart of a star
All of our eyes were, but hers were a little deeper in
Poetry
but 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....
If you hesitate when someone asks you "Do you love him/her? and don't answer in a split second...you just answered the question...
To the point!
So true
/ if they even have to ask
And if someone asks, Is she or he the one? And you hesitate when saying yes, the s/he isn't the one.
I was thinking the same thing.
i sat and watched this film over and over,and knew i was in a doomed marriage, so we parted, and i wandered through life lonely and empty for nearly 2 years thinking "these things don't happen", and now I have found the person he speaks of, and she does each and everyone of these things and more to me, she is the most beautiful thing this earth has ever created, and for that, i am the luckiest guy alive.
Axeman02 you give me hope
bud I don´t know if you´ll ever get to read this, but thank you. These stories give me hope in life, to everyone reading this I hope you live long and have plenty of love. Oh and that that lightning strikes.
It is very Hard to accept your marriage is over specially when you are over 30 and have kids
@@mariolahl7654 why? Of you stay because of the kids they'll resent you for being un happy.
I'm not dying miserable to please others
beautiful. i always loved this movie
At age 54, after numerous relationships and two marriages, two wonderful adult children, I finally was hit by lighting, and so was she. You have no idea what it's like, how wonderful it is until you find that person and fall head over heels for them. And when they feel the same, it's the most beautiful thing in the world. It's worth the wait...
I think thats lust....
"stay open, who knows, lightning could strike" i always think of that phrase whenever i feel down, and when problems just keep coming up non stop, that phrase really gives me some peace and hope :-)
Bear in mind always- Tough time don't last, tough (as in resilient) people do. Arise each day with a mind full of resolve and a closed fist. But not so closed of mind and clenched of hand that that you can't see the travails of your fellow man and shake his hand.
Me too. I've been saying it a lot lately.
Anthony Hopkins is an amazing actor.
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!
Brought me to tears after watching it tonight......It did not do so when I watched it in the 90's? I guess it must be my 13 year old daughter now who is the light of my life...…..God Kids change your life FOREVER!
original????? it's a remake!
@@justthink5854 Not a verbatim remake though... more a re-telling and when it is done this well it can be forgiven
Great post.....totally agree
Great acting? Really? Brad Pitt is bloody terrible.
"Find someone you can love like crazy, and who'll love you the same way back... Because the truth is, honey, there's no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven't lived a life at all."

Excellent film -
Movieclips
Amén 🙏💙
eclectic tyrone Humans be like ...not error free 🙏
He's a good Father.
Anthony Hopkins doesn't waste one single line in this scene. Awesome!!!!
35 years and I'm still waiting for that lightning to strike
You need to stay open.
Stay open and try online dating app. I found my soulmate in another country thousands of miles away!
@@joeking5215 good for you
It finally happened for me at 36. Don't give up hope, stay open as others suggested and be kind to yourself💜
@@cheesecake.the.hamster that's great! mmm i don't know maybe iam just a lost cause haha
She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
I couldn't agree more. ;)
[Lightning] did strike for me once, but she left me twenty-five years ago. And hasn't since.
you really need to get out more...try south america
Twenty two people disagree.
Yeah 22 out of almost a million that have viewed this video...nice odds bud.
The score is the best part about this movie honestly, it is a gorgeous soundtrack by Thomas Newman, if I'm not mistaken
Yes, and so right you are! The very best at his craft, Thomas Newman. Also loved his score in "Little Children" - the ending credits piece is his masterpiece, imo.
same with American Beauty. Certain parts sound almost exactly alike
whats the song playing in tbis scene
i was just thinking the same thing.
My best part is the coffee shop!!!!
Anthony Hopkins is a friggin poet in this scene
I never get tired of this scene -- and lots of others in this sadly underrated masterpiece.
😊 There are People who watch this movie in 2024 January. Clair her character Dr Susan ...comes first...😊, then Mr Pitt and Mr Hopkins ❤
Always gets me, every time. The music, the words spoken so eloquently forward and true. Anthony Hopkins everyone.
Like "his daughter" said... BRAVO!
"Love is passion, obsession, something you cannot live without"...
I had it for a month and it was sublime. I’ll never forget it. ❤️
@@CRFSUIGENERIS good even just for a month :) although I think what he meant was the love for life.
beautylife310 That would be nice wouldn’t it 😊.
C R F Absolutely, in fact, more than nice, it would be a dream come true :)
Mr. Hopkins lives in a deep spiritual world or authenticity. I admire his honest brave and open emotional world. He teaches us how to be real, how to be fearless. So glad there are people like him, I've been gifted to know. Life is an adventure if you're eyes are wide open with wonderment!
Well said! :)
Claire forlani is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
Yes she is
I love the way he talks. Its so inspirational and sweet!
So many people settle in life. You might be content with that but you won't ever be truly happy.
All these sad or angry eyes, I think you're right.
Anybody else just keeps coming back to this? Like something deeper pulling you with those words. A promise of a sort.
This movie is eternal gem.
Yes
This is a scene I come back to at least once a month. I think we all need a reminder of what’s important in this selfish, cruel and unforgiving world that we live in !
Anthony Hopkins kills it with the fatherly advice on life in all his movies portaying a father.
I don't know why people say this is a bad movie
I love this movie but the ending was pretty bad. I’ll admit that. Didn’t make sense at all when Brad’s character gets his body back & they walk off together. Otherwise, flawless.
Only reason would be, they haven’t watched it.. not truly. Meet Joe Black was a great movie!
@@marioramos6803 The ending .. while it was sad to see them both go. It all made sense for what the movie was all about. I rewatched the coffee shop scene to truly understand what he was promising her at the end...and once I got that. The ending was so beautiful! He didn’t know love before he met her, and he couldn’t stay with her, no matter how much he loved her. So he did the one and only thing he could. He gave her back the moment that would give her the love he couldn’t. In that moment he truly knew what love was and heartbreak. It was beautiful.
@@mwoods6533 agreed on it being a great movie. I’ll argue with anyone who says otherwise. Deserved Academy awards in so many ways. My issue with the ending is when Claire tells Brad “I wish you could’ve met my father.” 🤔 I understand why Brad said “Me too” because it wasn’t the coffee shop version of the character throughout the movie, so that makes sense to me. Might be knit picking but still love the movie.
Want to make an unforgettable , brilliant movie = Sir Anthony Hopkins , Brad Pitt.
Legendary Anthony Hopkins and elegantly Claire Forlani. This movie is perfect.
That's a 'Dad's Speech' right there.
Anthony Hopkins.. the way he presents his lines.. 🔥🔥
Find someone you love like crazy and love you back the same way. Wonder if I ever find that...
stay open, who knows, lightning could strike.
Did you find it yet?
That is the best speech ever about finding true love.
It's also lovely when Joe asks him about his late wife in the Board room.
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 will love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head, and you listen to your heart. And I'm not hearing any heart. Cause the truth is, honey, there's no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven't lived a life at all. But you have to try, cause if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.
Oh! When I saw this written out it made me cry. Thank you. ❤
My favourite actor of all time, Sir Anthony Hopkins. 20 years ago I started my first full time job and on my 1st day my boss told me her daughter (who was studying at drama school in London) had written to Anthony Hopkins asking him to be her mentor etc, he wrote back and agreed on the premise that she sent him all her written work/reports etc. He even turned up to one of her performances ! What a guy x
a scene that should teach everyone to never settle for just anyone because...LIGHTNING COULD STRIKE!!!!!
Everything about this movie is so beautiful. Shes gorgeous, hes classy and inspiring...theyre in a helicopter....and Brad Pitt... Life will never be so grand
one of the best movies ever. american art at its peak
Sometime ago, my dad give that advice too. Parrish remind me of him in some things :) A really great dad!
Anthony Hopkins is the greatest living actor.
How he describes love is PERFECT!
this is so powerful i watch this scene almost every day
Claire is probably my favorite person that I could ever hope to meet in person !! So beautiful and talented. Thank you for all the joy and wonderful entertainment. 👍👍👏👏😀
Am 52 years old, am so grateful for this movie and it always inspires me greatly, best wishes and positive energy to everyone.
He comes across as the total romantic who seriously loves his daughter and wants the best for her.
As much as i love the titanic lines,this one is forever
Hopkins Magic. True wisdom. Lighting could strike still waiting
Good job Mr. Hopkins. Charming and almost angelic Ms. Forlani. Bravo
2019? Anyone? Love this movie and this is one of my favorite scenes
When, he asked her...are you going to marry Drew? She sighs and says, probably. Don't get too excited! LOL!
I would have told this to my Daughter but hey, I don't have a Helicopter... Quite a Scene
Anthony Hopkins, by his own words, was for the better part of his young adulthood a stark raving drunk who hadn't a clue where he was, what he was doing, where he was headed or which end was up. STILL, through all that chaos...all that destructive inertia of a wrecking ball in motion, by way his acting, he became a prism for the light of human nature...giving us discrete portrayals of various aspects of our nature, tiny glimpses of ourselves. From the Bounty to Remains of the Day, to Silence of the Lambs, to Howards End to Legends of the Fall to the Edge to Westworld. Hopkins somehow manages to display with vivid focus the nuances of human frailties better than almost anyone else I have seen. Or maybe it's just his British diction and accent and delivery.
I loved this scene in one of my favorite movies. This is so true. What we don't say speaks volumes. Love should hit you like a bolt of lightening. This father so reminded me of my own as we had a special bond not often seen. I watched Joe Black many times.
without love we are nothing 😌
Love Anthony's face. Who knows, lighting could strike O.O
Does there have to be clouds for lighting?
unfortunately yes
Xong Lo I would say very deep movie!!!
Could U imagine being on a working vacation and meeting someone as beautiful as the daughter of one your assignments..?
Xong Lo could be, but SUM are different and can separate work from play. What do U think?
Same thought!!!
He is such a good father
It’s a most beautiful film & that moment along with so many others make this cinema story unique - but Thomas Newmans score with at that moment brings tears to my eyes every time. The power of a really talented composer & what he can bring to a FILM.
I found the man of my dreams recently and Anthony Hopkins describes exactly what I feel. It’s one of my favourite movies too 🤗
One of the most wonderful films ever made - Just beautiful
People comment at length about underrated guitarist and bands.
Well, I think this is an underrated movie - everyone played their rolls well and the editing was great to watch.
After 42 yrs with my wife and it’s still not enough ❤
I love her more today than I did yesterday
She lights up a room when she walks in
I would die for her and more 🙏❤️
2:08 "to make the journey and not fall deeply in love. well, you haven't lived a life at all."
I need to watch this movie again. it is such a classic and timeless piece of art.
This scene has long imprinted in my head ever since the first time I watched it.
This film is over three hours long and when I took my wife to see it back in the day, we both agreed we could have watched another three hours of it
In this movie/scene he is everyone’s father he gives great advice and he is right in so many level
Best actor ..... ever .... nothing else .... HOPKINS !!!!!
HE IS A TOP ACTOR ... THE BEST
"Lightning could strike.."
-Odin
Thomas Newman completed this scene with his music! Wonderful..
Dee C One of the best soundtracks of his career.
How Hopkins performance in this movie didn’t grant him an Oscar is beyond me
"As light is lightning and trembling, it is heard and felt amongst foundations of existence, for it doth knoweth the creatures, that includes Man"
I saw this movie when I was in my early 20's and didn't fully appreciate all the themes from this movie, especially this scene. Now I am in my 40's with a beautiful and amazing wife and we have two adorable children. My life is so rich and full of joy because I kept looking/waiting for that lightning strike and I'm fortunate to say that it happened to me.
I have to recite this for drama class at school next month oh my god XD
When you take an eternity to tell her how much you love her and then she answer "bravo" you must know she is not the one
This is my very favorite scene of the movie! Incredible writing... incredible acting ... and great advice!! Priceless!
Mark of a great actor. Hopkins can play a cannibalistic killer one moment, and the best Dad figure ever the next.
Love this movie and the way Anthony verbalizes what love is all about rang so true it blew me away! ❤
"dance like a dervish" Man just made up words to make the line sound better. LOL 🤣
"Find someone you can love like crazy and who will love you the same way back." wonder if I ever find that
There is no sense living without this...to make the journey and not fall deeply in love...
lightning
i can so feel the father-daughter dynamic between the two, the chemistry is amazing
this whole movie changed my perspective about life
her eye-liner person is very talented
Dads n Daughters; a dynamic duo.
The soundproofing on that helicopter is stunning 😂
Great speech by Anthony Hopkins! He's such a great actor! You haven't lived until you've tried!
The score of this movie really helps it become an absolute gem
This has always been my favorite scene
No negative comments?!? Well here's one. It doesn't happen for everyone. Maybe one person feels it but the other doesn't. Such sadness such pain. Make a movie about that!!! God is good always.
That’s it ♥️... There is nothing else to add!
Everybody talking about love but no one notes the guy's going to work on a helicopter. How cool is that?
It’s 2021 things has changed a lot.
This is in incredibly dangerous message. Saying life isn’t worth living without love is so sad and dangerous because you’re basic your experience off of someone else’s emotions that you can’t control.
Love sounds great but many many many people will never experience it. Are their life’s without meaning? No
I always thought Claire Forlani was gorgeous. Anthony Hopkins definitely makes this scene, but absolutely she has her presence as well.
His mantra is my mantra, it will remain so until the day I die, regardless of whether I succeed or fail in matters of the heart.
