i just looked on IMDB Lois Kelly-Miller www.imdb.com/name/nm0446961/?ref_=tt_cl_t8 Born: October 15, 1917 in Crossroads, Saint Andrew, Jamaica Died: April 8, 2020 (age 102) in Kingston, Jamaica
Her role was powerful in this film. the brief interactions between them were a piece of me (something i attained I got value from) a change in perspective to life. my condolences to her moving forward. Rest in Paradise Jamican Icon. Good luck on your Next Journey. ❤️ 🔥 🙏
Someone said that we arrive to this world crying while everyone around us is smiling, and the objective is to leave smiling with everyone around us crying
“When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your're the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Take me and you come with me now" the roles between them switched so subtly, all of the sudden she's the one that knows their place and he's the one that's scared
"We lonely here mostly too. If we lucky, we got some nice pictures to take with us." "You got enough pictures?" "Goodbye sister." Good lord this scene is beyond powerful.
I thought it was just me who felt the enormity of this scene. The entire visit with her just touched my heart. That line about loneliness - wow! So true.
I work for hospice and probably 75% of my patients welcome death like her. After being in pain for a long time, I think dying is their next best friend after living. This is actually a lovely scene.
After seeing my mom die from cancer i can say that people that work in Hospice are SAINTS and are a special type of person and when it time for them to die they will have a special place in heaven for them..
It is, I was with my wife while Cancer took her and I wish it had been this way for her. I don't have the words to truely express how much I hate that disease.
What's sad, is that this woman is the closest thing he has to an actual friend. He loves the Dr. So he's hiding things he's scared to tell her out of fear he'll lose her. And while he respects and likes her father their relationship is too professional and slightly antagonistic for Death to confide in him. This woman is the only person he's been able to speak freely infront of, who knows what he is. Who he doesn't have to hide from. And while she demonstrates empathy for him, she tells him what he needs to hear.
I saw my father pass in home hospice. He was fighting it at first, then he looked at me, beyond me, then looked at me again and he went peacefully. I felt his spirit leave and he was at peace. It was traumatic to see as he was looking eyes open at me. But was glad I was the last he saw ignoring everyone else.
You're brave for doing that. I lost my own father last month. He was very old (90's) and basically the last one left as I already lost just about all of my family. I was visiting him every day in the hospital. The doctor's wanted to load him up with morphine, not treat him and let him die before I even knew exactly what was wrong with him and treatment options. I had them try to treat the infection first. He was slowly rallying back. But then he took a turn for the worse and the hospital literally told me that if I don't give my permission to let him die, they would kick him out into some long term care facility as they needed the bed. Bastards! Finally I got a call from a doctor who said he was suffering badly and basically there was no hope at that point. So I gave my permission. But I couldn't bring myself to go and watch it. He was out of it by then anyway and wouldn't even know I was there. See, I never saw anyone actually die. I've only seen them afterward. After he went and I got the call a couple hours later, they wanted to know if I was coming to see him. I told them no; I would wait for the undertaker to do him up first. I also told them he's not there anymore. It's just a shell. The body that held him.
@@retroguy9494 so sorry for the loss of your dad. How mean of them! My brother and his fiancé at the time didn’t come until later that night. I had to be with dad. But sometimes I wish I wasn’t there. It’s still traumatic even though dad died in 1989. I couldn’t make it when my uncle passed in 2005. I saw him at the burial insisting on them opening the coffin so I could see him. He looked at peace for once and gave him a tiny piece of my artwork. I just couldn’t bear to see it again. Your dad knew you loved him and I’m sure he would’ve had no problem with you not seeing him pass.
@@AlexLightGiver When you see someone die that’s the last thing you think of. At the same time the dead watch over us. When I think of my maternal grandmother who passed and I’m on my walks, I find a new penny. Granny always gave me her new pennies. But watching someone pass isn’t pleasant. My late father got mad when his brother’s letter slipped from behind his picture and it flew across the room and hit my front door. I know he’s checking up on me. On occasion I dream of my late parents and they’re arguing as usual about me. Watching dad die still haunts me. He wasn’t afraid to die. I still wonder why he looked at me seconds before he passed. Looking into dead eyes is frightening. When my Michael passed he made his presence known knowing I’m a Sensitive. He never came as an apparition but he would manipulate things and touch me. It was scary. Had to tell him to stop.So he comes in dreams.
Death seems to be so innocent at times... Well to be fair: he's not doing anything wrong or criminal, he's just doing nature's work. There is a certain innocence to it.
"We lonely here mostly too." People need to stop sleeping on this movie. This is an absolutely phenomenal scene and I've taken her words to heart since the first time I saw this movie. Such incredible writing and an even more incredible performance by both of them.
I have always thought this is one of the top best performances from Brad Pitt and Sir Anthony Hopkins. You are right, just incredible writing and inconsolable pacing of that writing by the performers.
@@rksb93 This is a remake of the movie "Death Takes A Holiday." Both movies are well worth your while. Death didn't understand why people feared him and hated to go with him and the movies show Death what love, life and happiness is all about and why people cling to all of it.
Since the first time I saw this film I fell in love with the story and friendship between him and her father, the writing and acting put this in my all time top 5 easy.
“But I not lonely here. Somebody want me here.” That line got me choked up. Regardless of beliefs, if you see Death as this person who is just doing his job but is still a human deep down, it’s crazy deep.
@@Briselance I suppose if he's simply Death or the Angel of Death changes the context of his existence. If he's an Angel he presumably has his fellow Angels as a family and of course always feels the presence of God. He really wouldn't be lonely. However if he's simply the personification of Death, or specifically the aspect of dying, his only interactions with people would A: be very brief, as it would just be as they're transitioning from life to death, and B: most likely his encounters are with people terrified of him because they wanted to live or in so much pain they just want it to end. The latter sounds like a very lonely existence.
That line always stuck with me. We are all born into existence without asking. Imagine being Death. Didn't ask for the role, it's just yours. And it's not like you can come to terms with a bad hand and work towards a glorious afterlife in Heaven. This is what you are for Eternity. The bearer of bad news, destined for an eternal life of loneliness. Then imagine you actually get to feel loved and wanted. Of course he didn't want that to end
"But don't be fooled. We lonely here mostly too." Death is so vulnerable, here, and the shoe is so completely on the other foot. He can't bear the thought of giving up this new job he's found, and she's telling him that he can't keep it. He knows about death, but she knows about life.
I love so much how they sell this scene An old woman who’s lived a long life and had come to terms with the fact she needs to pass, a reluctant death who wants her to have more time
Love how he says don’t be feisty in the Caribbean accent and she said she isn’t. She was more than ready to go. God the 2 scenes with her really make me tear up baaaad.
I just buried my wife of 19 years this week. She would have been 67 in a short while. I shall miss her forever. I'm glad she's with her Dad and Daughter.
- Mr. Bad news. Bout time you show up. - Don't be feisty sister - I'm not feisty Mr. You come for me, that's good news. - No, I come to see the doctor. - Doctor? - Mm-hmm. - What could be wrong with you? - Nothin' - Ohh. You come to see doctor lady? - Yeah man. - My doctor lady? - Mine too ya know. - You're in love? - You're loved back? - She know your real self? - She know how she feels. - Backside! What the hell kind of business is this? - Don't need you okayin' - School boy things in ya head, badness for you. Badness for her. Badness for me, lying here, tumor big as bread fruit, poisonin' me inside and waitin'. - Bring you flowers and all I's get is aggravation. - The only flowers I want to see is the ones over my peaceful self restin in the dirt. - Can't do no right by people. Come to take you, you want to stay. Leave you stay, you want to go. Rhatiid! - You're not in the right place mister. Me neither. No more. Take me, and you come with me now. - But I not lonely here. Somebody want me here. -Mmm. It nice it happen to you. Like you come to the island and had a holiday. Sun didn't burn ya red red, just brown. Ya sleep and no mosquito eat ya. But the truth is, it bound to happen if you stay long enough. So take that nice picture you got in ya head home with you, but don't be fooled. We lonely here mostly too. If we lucky, maybe we got some nice pictures to take with us. - You got enough nice pictures? - Yes. - Goodbye sister..
Yes. Great line however We cant take any memories with us but this is natures blessing to us: the act of forgetting automatic let go. We take our tendencies/feeling with us especially the ones you experienced moments before death. And the sad thing is unless your terminally ill or unless u off yourself or unless your getting executed, or are in a prolonged physical fight for survival-you don’t know when it comes it all happens so fast that you can’t even process it and after your dead you dont even know you died memory blanked it all happens so fast. So would you prefer to know when its coming or not to know. Both have pros and cons.
sonofizzy ua-cam.com/video/UfawEz78kUE/v-deo.html Its been told to us. consciousness = awareness the background of experience you close your eyes and listen to everything thats happening around you just simply listen like your listening to a song. But dont think abouy what u are hearing or identify what your hearing simply consider it noise think of all the sounds like you havent heard them before.no preconceived notions. do this for 10 minutes its hard to stop your thoughts because we think all the time but you can with practice, basically leave your mind outside for 10 minutes what you are doung your problems your tasks who you are leave that outside for a moment and come in and accept everything you hear around you until you get into this beautiful part where you connect with the nothingness the weightless feeling instead of the heavy feeling
@@effortlessawareness8778 can you rephrase the entire sentence and post it as a reply to me? I don't understand what you mean. Am I supposed to listen to the air and nature around me and shut everything else off? And what does that feeling have to do with deatg
@@effortlessawareness8778 you have such a sad way to look at life. To literally. As someone who has see. Death so much in life life, I have to point out these things. Anyone like such who has lost both parents, a sister to a car accident, little brother died of drug overdose, I’ve truly been in the bottom of the pit when it comes to “what is life”. I promise you, life is way more then what it is when you start to see your loved ones disappear. I always was the one who didn’t believe in god or such but now. It’s just I can’t imagine to think that they’re just dead bodies wasting away in the dirt. No.
“But I not lonely here, somebody want me here” that line made me cry, he got a glimpse of happiness and love. He doesn’t wanna let it go. Who could? He has enough pictures, he can have that peace just like he gave to her. ❤
It's definitely one of those movies if you're a millenial, you need to re-watch it as an adult. People back then criticized Brad Pitt's performance and how forced the love story is. Yes, there are some campy bits, and I found a hard time buying how everyone just accepted Joe being around and his weird mannerisms, but it's incredibly deep. This scene had me shook. The casting overall was brilliant.
I think this is my favorite scene in the movie. Very heart felt and well acted, she seems so kind and easy to talk to, reminds me so much of my grandmother, the older generation people brought up with manners and lived threw hardships have a grace about them that is hard fake.
I always liked how even though he's the "elder" between the two of them she gives him the hard truth but still is like the happy grandma glad her young lad found love
It also shows how much can the human experience teach a soul. Loneliness, pain, empathy, self sacrifice, true love to a person, loss, calm acceptance of "the end" etc. Death's soul being very, very "old" got a valuable lesson from a mortal grandma.
I've been living in Miami for over 10 years. After being around so many Jamaicans I recognize how good this lady was just off of dialog. He really didn't want to take her but he knew she deserved more than flowers. She got her wish. I also think Death was there for her from the beginning but he set it up so she can go at her most peaceful state. When she 1st saw him, she was scared. Then he gave her a glimpse of what was waiting for her. After that she was ready.
The fact that he specifically picks her out makes me believe she was some sort of old soul he could relate too in some sense. Still love the interaction.
He doesn't pick her out - she recognizes him for what he really is - she picks him. It's hard to turn away from someone who knows who you really are, and accepts that.
emdoub agreed - but I like to think he took an exception to her in a sense that she was actually able to identify him. He traveled through a hospital; who knows how many souls reached out. She was the one who he took an acclimation too.
Few years ago.. I flat lined, due to a heart attack.. when I returned it was the most Serene feeling I have ever felt. This near-death experience has made me a better person in every which way. I try to take my time more in everything I do & be more calm and collective doing them.. try not to get too excited.
Lately I’m listening and reading from people who experienced near-death and the answers give me great joy and curiosity. Is it possible to talk to you Jose?
Lois Kelly -Miller passed away peacefully on Wednesday April 15, 2020 after years in the loving care of her nephew Dan Kelly. Rest in peace and walk good Lady Lois.
I like how she brings him back to reality by reminding him that he is indeed Death and that this game he's playing with the doctor is going to have to come to an end eventually. "So take that nice picture you got in your head home with you."
Brad Pitt was undeniably beautiful in this movie. In each of his scenes, the light just seems to adore him, highlighting his features and playing off his hair, caressing him like a lover. It's an extraordinary effect, and it just draws your eye to him again and again.
im a 47 year old bloke and i absoluty adore this movie the acting. experiencing things for the first time the faces they pull so amzing often brings me to tears
Really felt like she was passing away. The energy and expression slowly draining from her face and the all too believable lifelessness afterwards. A very convincing moment that didn’t seem forced at all. No acting detected, just a brilliant performance.
"It nice it happen to you. Like you come to the island and had a holiday. Sun didn't burn you red-red, just brown. You sleep and no mosquito eat you. But the truth is, it bound to happen if you stay long enough. So take that nice picture you got in your head home with you, but don't be fooled. We lonely here mostly too. If we lucky, maybe, we got some nice pictures to take with us."
Again - like the first scene of them together - this is a perfect combination of script, camera, lighting, direction, acting, editing and score. EVERYTHING is perfectly in sync. The director was NOT afraid to let the scene play out for however long it took. Long, lingering cuts, just a few angles and letting the actors act. You don't see this much in cinema anymore.
My grandmother hadn't been able to talk, or even move, for quite a while. She was laying there and suddenly looked up with her eyes shining. She smiled like she had seen someone she loved and then was gone. Don't tell me there's no Heaven.
This is difficult to put into words but this is an experience I had. A few years ago I was looking after a 6 year old boy from a very religious portugease family who was dying of a brain tumour. he’d been in a comatose like state for days his breathing was laboured, it was time. The family gathered at his bedside,the priest in attendance and incense was burning as the priest said prayers. The boy suddenly awoke and started uttering words in a strange language, angel figures appeared in the mist of the incense and I could hear this angelic music ,I can’t describe how beatiful the sound was all around us (there were no devices in the room). He then closed his eyes and passed and his soul left with the angels even the priest was crying.Afterwards I asked the priest what was the boy saying ,he just said he was speaking Aramaic the language of Christ. I’ve had other experiences not as dramatic as that and have heard the angels since. We are all collected no one dies alone I know this to be true and I’m not religious.
There are 7 levels to the Astral Realms.. when we pass, we go to level 3 (what we perceive as heaven).. Jesus and higher souls like Budha etc are up on level 6 - we have to work our way up there before we get the what Jesus calls Heaven. I give talks and lectures on reincarnation, the birth experience, the afterlife & the death experience, the 7 levels of the astral, aliens and nebulas etc... but YESSSSSS, our eternal souls return "home"... don't ever doubt that. And yes, we will meet all our loved ones there, including our beloved pets (our pets live in what my guide Rahman calls " The Jasmine Garden"). This is a beautiful scene of the film.
Lois Kelly-Miller was born on 15 October 1917 in Crossroads, Saint Andrew, Jamaica. She was an actress, known for Meet Joe Black (1998). She died on 8 April 2020 in Kingston, Jamaica. Born October 15, 1917, Died April 8, 2020(102)
My lovely and true mother died 2 years ago. She was 91. She said quite often "I am not afraid to die." I think she said it to comfort us. The bravest, most loving woman I ever knew. If I have anything good about being a mom, I learned from her. I will see you again, mom.
My mother passed also 2 years ago. When she set up in the bed and said I love you son, I really didn't get, she was saying goodby. The things she said that last night, yes for me, the bravest woman I've ever known
The way this was written and acted felt natural, but it also felt timeless. Like something written a long time ago. Brad's versatility and balance in acting with the Jamaican accent was incredible. He didnt make a mockery.
Don’t know how many awards this film got but this lady should have surely gotten best supporting actor. She stole the scenes with less than 10 minutes of screen time. And the writer and screenplay writer for this should get an afi life achievement award immediately.
she sure did. a great performance can lend a certain comfort to real life. people on this thread continue the conversation that ended with the scene. Death as an entity instead of the body simply ceasing to function as a whole. the personality of someone so wise they are counceling death. But who does not wish to hang on to every moment - more like dawn of the dead. I know I would, most of us would wish to be like this old woman but ... it is hard to lay down that long chain of pictures we carry behind us, what we imagine is Ourself. the soul transcends but the personality desires permanence. I imagine.
@@JWBabaYagayou wasted your time making an entirely irrelevant point. The point is that she put on a masterclass of a performance and it deserved an award. Get over yourself.
This movie and particularly this scene hit me so hard, I've turned sober in many ways. The line, "We're lonely mostly here too. If we got lucky, we get some nice pictures to take with us" is the most truthful and touching statement and I believe, most of us can relate to it and understand it. Yet, we all do crazy things to ammuse ourselves. Life's too short, we should always try to share love and take some good pictures in our heart.
To the family of Mrs.Lois Kelly-Miller, Mrs.Miller touched my soul so deeply in this scene that I had to find out more about the person behind the part. I'm sad to say that I missed the opportunity to write a letter thanking her for these moments that hit me so deep. After watching her scenes dozens of times, I now wonder how much of this was her personality shining through and how much was performance. I wish that I could've sat with her and talked about life, the world as it now, how the world changed and yet how it stayed the same during the century she saw come and go.
This scene is a masterpiece! She is flawless, only having a short role in the movie, her performance made her character great (maybe greater than the movie). Brad, showing his extraordinary talent as usual
Someone once quoted me..."the secret to a good death,is to have lived a good life" cannot argue there.i know they ripped it from a famous quote,but it keeps me focussed and helps me forget the really bad things we all face in life.live,live well and leave with a smile.
This is one of the most emotional scenes i have ever seen.. and truly, so wise. My dog died a few weeks ago. She was a wolfdog. 16 and a half years old.. with the heart of a puppy. I kept telling her she was old, but she would not believe me. I tried to give her many, many ''nice pictures''. I really did. And it hurts so much to see her missed. But she was ready to go. And i had to put an end to her suffering. And i did make her happy.
@@PR_96 Adopted. Both have souls, you know. Both will love you unconditionally. Both are innocent, kindhearted, pure. But i have never bought a dog, nor will i.
@@PR_96 I realized it, but bought creatures have an innocent heart and a pure soul, too. They will be your best friend, too. They need someone's love, too. I always thought we should adopt animals from the streets.. but i could never understand why people are hostile towards those who buy animals. Σince they do love them with all their hearts.. But personally, i am hostile to those who eat flesh. Who eat animals.
@@vardellsfolly5200 Caring for a creature should be a privilege, not a "wantism" "right". Adopting a creature to care for it, and lessen it's suffering is altruistic at the core. It diminishes the unnecessary suffering for the adopted creature, and for all creatures. Buying a creature to "care" for it ( or rater employing it as a slav3 that emotionally panders to you, because they/creatures are pure hearted ) is egoistic at the core. And it creates bigger supply to bigger demand, lowers the price, increases demand even more, increases supply even more. Most animal OWNERS are irresponsible, short-sighted, egoistic etc. Therefore, no only the animals that are semi-well cared for are not truly happy. But more creatures end up on the streets. Creatures have smaller minds. But they feel emotional suffering too. You can take it for a walk every other day, but you can't fill the emptiness and sorrow that they feel inside, when their natural law of reproduction and/or having a fully functional family unit is taken from them. Your world is not their world. There is no environments/places for them to truly, fully exist and be happy. You keep saying that they unconditionally love you, and that is true. But knowing what I just said about their lives, do you love them unconditionally too? If you would, you would want them to be free. Or not suffer and create suffering. Lack of existence that would be doomed to disaster otherwise is not a sin. Wasted potential of existance, and creating suffering is. Whereas truly loving the adopted creature is possible, because it's making the best of the bad situation. It is not possible for the owner to "love" the creature that he bought. It's not love. It's egoistic attachment. Adopting a creature is making the best possible, of already bad situation. Buying creatures for "companionship" is straight up satanic, selfish, egoistic attachment. Creates unnecessary suffering for many creatures on this planet whether "you" like i or not. Dogs eat flesh.
The way she looked when she passed reminded me of my mother the day she passed. I held her hand and touched her cold feet. I knw it was time because her breathing changed and her body pigment changed. The nurse came in and tried to call TOD and i said no wait, wait until she's a peace. So my family and I held hands and prayed and told my mom, it was ok to leave! That we would be a family and support each other. Minutes later she passed. I will never forget that moment and I am thankful for the special time on her last breathe!
I was in the hospital recently with some serious issues. I had a dnr/dni status. I had a interesting conversation with a dr about that. She said "there are worse things than death, and alot of them live in the ICU." What a wonderful woman she was, I knew she would do everything she could for me, but if day came it was the time, she understood that ment it was the time. After two months I went home and started a long slow recovery. Dodged another bullet. One day I won't.
Goodbye, Sister. This movie 'bout damned killed me. When I saw it, I was very young. I realized that there is a majesty to the Universe that is beyond me. I realized that I hadn't truly ever read anything truly for comprehension. A little bit of me wondered if it will ever matter. As an adult now, so much has changed and I've grown a great deal from that great moment. I used to be embarrassed to admit that a movie like this could have such an impact on me; but if you ever decide to think about it, ask yourself if you've done everything in your power to make every moment in your life count. Ask yourself if you've made the most of this unbelievable gift of life. Ask yourself if you've surrounded yourself with people that will remember you; those that mean you well. If you pursue these things, it will never matter if those outside let you down. You'll be fulfilled...
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

I still cannot believe how wonderful she was. I just kept watching this scene again and again. She acted so naturally fantastic. What a great performance.
I was working when my dad died... I was 29 years old.... when I arrived at home he was still where they found him.... all I could do was cry and kiss his forehead... even today after 24 years I still miss him... Death came to him before I could say goodbye... 😢
Death came visiting my pops on 5 Sep when I was 32 and I am 36 now . Will never ever forget that day of my life . Miss him so bad and I cry even now sometimes. God knows when death will come for me but when he does I hope to have some good pictures by then .
Same here, lost my father at the age of 12. Was the precursor to all my years of depression. One day he was calling me, the next he was dead. Lost my faith in God, and went through severe depression for most of my teen years, and into my young adulthood. I moved on after a few years, but I didn't really move on until a year ago when I realized just how much I destroyed my life by wasting time. A life my father would have never wanted me to destroy. So I got into digital art, am going to buy bible to renew my faith and got a entry level job I've held onto for a long time. I eventually want to get into nanorobotics and find a cure to cancer and radiation sickness, but that's a few years down the line.
@@kamieaston3016 I admire your strength. I've learned this lesson many times but I'm still trying to let go of certain traumas, more importantly letting go of punishing myself. It's been a decade and when you said you were destroying your life by wasting time, something happened to me that rarely happens, I FELT that. Fight to keep your faith in Jesus and live the best you can.

Such a poignant, delicate, fragile scene. There’s a very rock-solid sense of Truth in this exchange. Talking heart to heart, saying things as they are. Not in a harsh way, not at all. Just saying it without embellishments, yet with delicate honesty. This might be one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve seen in a long, long time.

I work for hospice and probably 75% of my patients welcome death like her. After being in pain for a long time, I think dying is their next best friend after living. This is actually a lovely scene.
ua-cam.com/video/MTPxWkBgW6U/v-deo.html
You're a saint, thank you so very much for your work. I could never do your job
I have watched two very close friends die prematurely, and in each case Hospice has been unbelievably helpful in ways I never anticipated. Bless you.
After seeing my mom die from cancer i can say that people that work in Hospice are SAINTS and are a special type of person and when it time for them to die they will have a special place in heaven for them..
It is, I was with my wife while Cancer took her and I wish it had been this way for her. I don't have the words to truely express how much I hate that disease.
What's sad, is that this woman is the closest thing he has to an actual friend. He loves the Dr. So he's hiding things he's scared to tell her out of fear he'll lose her. And while he respects and likes her father their relationship is too professional and slightly antagonistic for Death to confide in him.
This woman is the only person he's been able to speak freely infront of, who knows what he is. Who he doesn't have to hide from. And while she demonstrates empathy for him, she tells him what he needs to hear.
Absolutely correct I was going to write a comment but you wrote what I would’ve said once again spot on
Not entirely true, the father of doctor Lady knew who he was from the begining, ma breatha...
@@anonymousx2156 I pointed out that the Father's relationship is too professional and antagonistic for Death and him to be friends.
@RequiemPoete yes your analysis is correct, I agree. It's a fantastic scene and a fantastic movie

“You got enough nice pictures?”
Beautiful line.
I don’t think we ever do, which is what makes them worth having

This scene is beautiful. His only friend needs to leave him. He looks so sad😢
I saw my father pass in home hospice. He was fighting it at first, then he looked at me, beyond me, then looked at me again and he went peacefully. I felt his spirit leave and he was at peace. It was traumatic to see as he was looking eyes open at me. But was glad I was the last he saw ignoring everyone else.
You're brave for doing that. I lost my own father last month. He was very old (90's) and basically the last one left as I already lost just about all of my family. I was visiting him every day in the hospital. The doctor's wanted to load him up with morphine, not treat him and let him die before I even knew exactly what was wrong with him and treatment options.
I had them try to treat the infection first. He was slowly rallying back. But then he took a turn for the worse and the hospital literally told me that if I don't give my permission to let him die, they would kick him out into some long term care facility as they needed the bed. Bastards!
Finally I got a call from a doctor who said he was suffering badly and basically there was no hope at that point. So I gave my permission. But I couldn't bring myself to go and watch it. He was out of it by then anyway and wouldn't even know I was there. See, I never saw anyone actually die. I've only seen them afterward. After he went and I got the call a couple hours later, they wanted to know if I was coming to see him. I told them no; I would wait for the undertaker to do him up first. I also told them he's not there anymore. It's just a shell. The body that held him.
@@retroguy9494 so sorry for the loss of your dad. How mean of them! My brother and his fiancé at the time didn’t come until later that night. I had to be with dad. But sometimes I wish I wasn’t there. It’s still traumatic even though dad died in 1989. I couldn’t make it when my uncle passed in 2005. I saw him at the burial insisting on them opening the coffin so I could see him. He looked at peace for once and gave him a tiny piece of my artwork. I just couldn’t bear to see it again. Your dad knew you loved him and I’m sure he would’ve had no problem with you not seeing him pass.
@@AlexLightGiver physically we die. And it’s traumatic to see.
@@AlexLightGiver When you see someone die that’s the last thing you think of. At the same time the dead watch over us. When I think of my maternal grandmother who passed and I’m on my walks, I find a new penny. Granny always gave me her new pennies. But watching someone pass isn’t pleasant. My late father got mad when his brother’s letter slipped from behind his picture and it flew across the room and hit my front door. I know he’s checking up on me. On occasion I dream of my late parents and they’re arguing as usual about me. Watching dad die still haunts me. He wasn’t afraid to die. I still wonder why he looked at me seconds before he passed. Looking into dead eyes is frightening. When my Michael passed he made his presence known knowing I’m a Sensitive. He never came as an apparition but he would manipulate things and touch me. It was scary. Had to tell him to stop.So he comes in dreams.
@@AlexLightGiver duh!
Death seems to be so innocent at times... Well to be fair: he's not doing anything wrong or criminal, he's just doing nature's work. There is a certain innocence to it.

"We lonely here mostly too." People need to stop sleeping on this movie. This is an absolutely phenomenal scene and I've taken her words to heart since the first time I saw this movie. Such incredible writing and an even more incredible performance by both of them.
If the movie is 3 hours long I’m definitely sleeping
I have always thought this is one of the top best performances from Brad Pitt and Sir Anthony Hopkins. You are right, just incredible writing and inconsolable pacing of that writing by the performers.
@@rksb93 This is a remake of the movie "Death Takes A Holiday." Both movies are well worth your while. Death didn't understand why people feared him and hated to go with him and the movies show Death what love, life and happiness is all about and why people cling to all of it.
@@rksb93 tiktok brain
Since the first time I saw this film I fell in love with the story and friendship between him and her father, the writing and acting put this in my all time top 5 easy.
“But I not lonely here. Somebody want me here.” That line got me choked up. Regardless of beliefs, if you see Death as this person who is just doing his job but is still a human deep down, it’s crazy deep.
@Noah Levine
Whether he is Death or the Angel of Death, what difference does it make?
@@Briselance I suppose if he's simply Death or the Angel of Death changes the context of his existence. If he's an Angel he presumably has his fellow Angels as a family and of course always feels the presence of God. He really wouldn't be lonely. However if he's simply the personification of Death, or specifically the aspect of dying, his only interactions with people would A: be very brief, as it would just be as they're transitioning from life to death, and B: most likely his encounters are with people terrified of him because they wanted to live or in so much pain they just want it to end. The latter sounds like a very lonely existence.
I mean in the Bible angels fell for humans sooo makes sense
Death is characterized in a similar way in the book "The Book Thief" - I don't know about the film. At the end, Death says he is "haunted by humans".
That line always stuck with me. We are all born into existence without asking. Imagine being Death. Didn't ask for the role, it's just yours. And it's not like you can come to terms with a bad hand and work towards a glorious afterlife in Heaven. This is what you are for Eternity. The bearer of bad news, destined for an eternal life of loneliness. Then imagine you actually get to feel loved and wanted. Of course he didn't want that to end
"But don't be fooled. We lonely here mostly too." Death is so vulnerable, here, and the shoe is so completely on the other foot. He can't bear the thought of giving up this new job he's found, and she's telling him that he can't keep it. He knows about death, but she knows about life.
I love so much how they sell this scene

‘We lonely here mostly too...if we lucky, maybe, we got some nice pictures to take with us...’
Yes. Great line
however We cant take any memories with us but this is natures blessing to us: the act of forgetting automatic let go. We take our tendencies/feeling with us especially the ones you experienced moments before death. And the sad thing is unless your terminally ill or unless u off yourself or unless your getting executed, or are in a prolonged physical fight for survival-you don’t know when it comes it all happens so fast that you can’t even process it and after your dead you dont even know you died memory blanked it all happens so fast. So would you prefer to know when its coming or not to know. Both have pros and cons.

the background of experience you close your eyes and listen to everything thats happening around you just simply listen like your listening to a song. But dont think abouy what u are hearing or identify what your hearing simply consider it noise think of all the sounds like you havent heard them before.no preconceived notions. do this for 10 minutes its hard to stop your thoughts because we think all the time but you can with practice, basically leave your mind outside for 10 minutes what you are doung your problems your tasks who you are leave that outside for a moment and come in and accept everything you hear around you until you get into this beautiful part where you connect with the nothingness the weightless feeling instead of the heavy feeling

@@effortlessawareness8778 you have such a sad way to look at life. To literally. As someone who has see. Death so much in life life, I have to point out these things. Anyone like such who has lost both parents, a sister to a car accident, little brother died of drug overdose, I’ve truly been in the bottom of the pit when it comes to “what is life”. I promise you, life is way more then what it is when you start to see your loved ones disappear. I always was the one who didn’t believe in god or such but now. It’s just I can’t imagine to think that they’re just dead bodies wasting away in the dirt. No.

Meet Joe Black must be one of the most underrated movies ever.
I know! I love this movie! So much depth and meaning in so many scenes!
Agreed, I told everyone to see it. The review said it was too long, so some avoided it. Brad was just perfect IMO.
It's definitely one of those movies if you're a millenial, you need to re-watch it as an adult. People back then criticized Brad Pitt's performance and how forced the love story is. Yes, there are some campy bits, and I found a hard time buying how everyone just accepted Joe being around and his weird mannerisms, but it's incredibly deep. This scene had me shook.
The casting overall was brilliant.
I think this is my favorite scene in the movie. Very heart felt and well acted, she seems so kind and easy to talk to, reminds me so much of my grandmother, the older generation people brought up with manners and lived threw hardships have a grace about them that is hard fake.
I always liked how even though he's the "elder" between the two of them she gives him the hard truth but still is like the happy grandma glad her young lad found love
Well said....👍🏼
Me too!
What a wild scene. The unspoken understanding they have at levels of time eternal...awesome.
It also shows how much can the human experience teach a soul. Loneliness, pain, empathy, self sacrifice, true love to a person, loss, calm acceptance of "the end" etc.
Death's soul being very, very "old" got a valuable lesson from a mortal grandma.
Also shows some souls are just older than others...
This film is underrated.
The truth and clarity that comes from being at death's door allowed this lady to scold death itself. Fantastic scene, fantastic actress
"Can't do no right by people. Come to take, you wan to stay. Leave you stay, you wan go." Absolutely love that line.
Rahtid!
Best scene in the entire movie she taught him a great lesson
One of the most underrated and beautiful movies of all time.
I've been living in Miami for over 10 years. After being around so many Jamaicans I recognize how good this lady was just off of dialog. He really didn't want to take her but he knew she deserved more than flowers. She got her wish. I also think Death was there for her from the beginning but he set it up so she can go at her most peaceful state. When she 1st saw him, she was scared. Then he gave her a glimpse of what was waiting for her. After that she was ready.
The fact that he specifically picks her out makes me believe she was some sort of old soul he could relate too in some sense. Still love the interaction.
Blake Walters right?!!!!
He doesn't pick her out - she recognizes him for what he really is - she picks him. It's hard to turn away from someone who knows who you really are, and accepts that.
emdoub agreed - but I like to think he took an exception to her in a sense that she was actually able to identify him. He traveled through a hospital; who knows how many souls reached out. She was the one who he took an acclimation too.
she picks him out. she immediately recognizes that he isn't human
Few years ago.. I flat lined, due to a heart attack.. when I returned it was the most Serene feeling I have ever felt. This near-death experience has made me a better person in every which way.

Such a sweet sequence. Underrated film. MEET JOE BLACK is beautiful.
Again - like the first scene of them together - this is a perfect combination of script, camera, lighting, direction, acting, editing and score. EVERYTHING is perfectly in sync. The director was NOT afraid to let the scene play out for however long it took. Long, lingering cuts, just a few angles and letting the actors act. You don't see this much in cinema anymore.
My grandmother hadn't been able to talk, or even move, for quite a while. She was laying there and suddenly looked up with her eyes shining. She smiled like she had seen someone she loved and then was gone.
Don't tell me there's no Heaven.
Its dmt
Your brain releases it when dying
This is difficult to put into words but this is an experience I had. A few years ago I was looking after a 6 year old boy from a very religious portugease family who was dying of a brain tumour. he’d been in a comatose like state for days his breathing was laboured, it was time. The family gathered at his bedside,the priest in attendance and incense was burning as the priest said prayers. The boy suddenly awoke and started uttering words in a strange language, angel figures appeared in the mist of the incense and I could hear this angelic music ,I can’t describe how beatiful the sound was all around us (there were no devices in the room). He then closed his eyes and passed and his soul left with the angels even the priest was crying.Afterwards I asked the priest what was the boy saying ,he just said he was speaking Aramaic the language of Christ. I’ve had other experiences not as dramatic as that and have heard the angels since. We are all collected no one dies alone I know this to be true and I’m not religious.
There's something beyond death.
@@Purplelemon5033 💯🎯🎈🙏
There are 7 levels to the Astral Realms.. when we pass, we go to level 3 (what we perceive as heaven).. Jesus and higher souls like Budha etc are up on level 6 - we have to work our way up there before we get the what Jesus calls Heaven. I give talks and lectures on reincarnation, the birth experience, the afterlife & the death experience, the 7 levels of the astral, aliens and nebulas etc... but YESSSSSS, our eternal souls return "home"... don't ever doubt that. And yes, we will meet all our loved ones there, including our beloved pets (our pets live in what my guide Rahman calls " The Jasmine Garden"). This is a beautiful scene of the film.
We should all greet death as a friend. He comes for us all not out of spite for the living, but as a guide to the after life.

Don’t know how many awards this film got but this lady should have surely gotten best supporting actor. She stole the scenes with less than 10 minutes of screen time.
And the writer and screenplay writer for this should get an afi life achievement award immediately.
Brad Pitt went to visit her in the hospital when she really was close to death. He is a true gentleman.
Awesome Scene it is!
Best Supporting Actress. She was a woman, remember.
she sure did. a great performance can lend a certain comfort to real life. people on this thread continue the conversation that ended with the scene. Death as an entity instead of the body simply ceasing to function as a whole. the personality of someone so wise they are counceling death. But who does not wish to hang on to every moment - more like dawn of the dead. I know I would, most of us would wish to be like this old woman but ... it is hard to lay down that long chain of pictures we carry behind us, what we imagine is Ourself. the soul transcends but the personality desires permanence. I imagine.

A true masterpiece that did not get the love it deserved. Great storyline, outstanding acting. Love this movie.
This movie and particularly this scene hit me so hard, I've turned sober in many ways. The line, "We're lonely mostly here too. If we got lucky, we get some nice pictures to take with us" is the most truthful and touching statement and I believe, most of us can relate to it and understand it. Yet, we all do crazy things to ammuse ourselves. Life's too short, we should always try to share love and take some good pictures in our heart.
Utterly magnificent movie on so many levels. Loved it from the very first time I watched it. ❤❤❤
To the family of Mrs.Lois Kelly-Miller,
Mrs.Miller touched my soul so deeply in this scene that I had to find out more about the person behind the part. I'm sad to say that I missed the opportunity to write a letter thanking her for these moments that hit me so deep. After watching her scenes dozens of times, I now wonder how much of this was her personality shining through and how much was performance. I wish that I could've sat with her and talked about life, the world as it now, how the world changed and yet how it stayed the same during the century she saw come and go.
Who else saw the short and just needed more
MEET JOE BLACK
That's why I'm here
This movie has always had a special place within me. It plays with the only questions that really matter.
Amen. A masterpiece.
This scene is a masterpiece! She is flawless, only having a short role in the movie, her performance made her character great (maybe greater than the movie). Brad, showing his extraordinary talent as usual
Some of the best acting I've seen in along time. The Jamaican lady is amazing.
Her name is Lois Kelly Miller.
@@KristineMaitland Absolutely incredible
The way he said “nottin” is sooo cute to me
Someone once quoted me..."the secret to a good death,is to have lived a good life" cannot argue there.i know they ripped it from a famous quote,but it keeps me focussed and helps me forget the really bad things we all face in life.live,live well and leave with a smile.
This is one of the most emotional scenes i have ever seen.. and truly, so wise.
My dog died a few weeks ago. She was a wolfdog. 16 and a half years old.. with the heart of a puppy. I kept telling her she was old, but she would not believe me.
I tried to give her many, many ''nice pictures''. I really did. And it hurts so much to see her missed. But she was ready to go. And i had to put an end to her suffering. And i did make her happy.
Was the creature adopted, or bought?
@@PR_96
Adopted. Both have souls, you know. Both will love you unconditionally. Both are innocent, kindhearted, pure. But i have never bought a dog, nor will i.
@@vardellsfolly5200 If you would have bought the creature, I wouldn't heart your comment. That's why I ask.
@@PR_96
I realized it, but bought creatures have an innocent heart and a pure soul, too. They will be your best friend, too. They need someone's love, too. I always thought we should adopt animals from the streets.. but i could never understand why people are hostile towards those who buy animals. Σince they do love them with all their hearts..
But personally, i am hostile to those who eat flesh. Who eat animals.
@@vardellsfolly5200 Caring for a creature should be a privilege, not a "wantism" "right".
Adopting a creature to care for it, and lessen it's suffering is altruistic at the core. It diminishes the unnecessary suffering for the adopted creature, and for all creatures.
Buying a creature to "care" for it ( or rater employing it as a slav3 that emotionally panders to you, because they/creatures are pure hearted ) is egoistic at the core. And it creates bigger supply to bigger demand, lowers the price, increases demand even more, increases supply even more. Most animal OWNERS are irresponsible, short-sighted, egoistic etc. Therefore, no only the animals that are semi-well cared for are not truly happy. But more creatures end up on the streets.
Creatures have smaller minds. But they feel emotional suffering too. You can take it for a walk every other day, but you can't fill the emptiness and sorrow that they feel inside, when their natural law of reproduction and/or having a fully functional family unit is taken from them. Your world is not their world. There is no environments/places for them to truly, fully exist and be happy.
You keep saying that they unconditionally love you, and that is true. But knowing what I just said about their lives, do you love them unconditionally too? If you would, you would want them to be free. Or not suffer and create suffering. Lack of existence that would be doomed to disaster otherwise is not a sin. Wasted potential of existance, and creating suffering is.
Whereas truly loving the adopted creature is possible, because it's making the best of the bad situation. It is not possible for the owner to "love" the creature that he bought. It's not love. It's egoistic attachment.
Adopting a creature is making the best possible, of already bad situation.
Buying creatures for "companionship" is straight up satanic, selfish, egoistic attachment. Creates unnecessary suffering for many creatures on this planet whether "you" like i or not.
Dogs eat flesh.
The way she looked when she passed reminded me of my mother the day she passed. I held her hand and touched her cold feet. I knw it was time because her breathing changed and her body pigment changed. The nurse came in and tried to call TOD and i said no wait, wait until she's a peace. So my family and I held hands and prayed and told my mom, it was ok to leave! That we would be a family and support each other. Minutes later she passed. I will never forget that moment and I am thankful for the special time on her last breathe!
I was in the hospital recently with some serious issues. I had a dnr/dni status. I had a interesting conversation with a dr about that. She said "there are worse things than death, and alot of them live in the ICU." What a wonderful woman she was, I knew she would do everything she could for me, but if day came it was the time, she understood that ment it was the time. After two months I went home and started a long slow recovery. Dodged another bullet. One day I won't.
The two scenes he has w this woman are as special as it gets
“If we lucky, maybe, we got some nice pictures to take with us.” God that hit me in my soul.
This soundtrack is an tear-jerker
Goodbye, Sister. This movie 'bout damned killed me. When I saw it, I was very young. I realized that there is a majesty to the Universe that is beyond me. I realized that I hadn't truly ever read anything truly for comprehension. A little bit of me wondered if it will ever matter. As an adult now, so much has changed and I've grown a great deal from that great moment. I used to be embarrassed to admit that a movie like this could have such an impact on me; but if you ever decide to think about it, ask yourself if you've done everything in your power to make every moment in your life count. Ask yourself if you've made the most of this unbelievable gift of life. Ask yourself if you've surrounded yourself with people that will remember you; those that mean you well. If you pursue these things, it will never matter if those outside let you down. You'll be fulfilled...
Death is in love with us all in the end.
Really?
Onur Sezer enough to carry us to other side.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1 Corinthians 15:54-55 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
Does he look like young Brad Pitt though?
As much as people complain about this version not being as good as the original, I still enjoyed this movie tremendously.
I still cannot believe how wonderful she was. I just kept watching this scene again and again. She acted so naturally fantastic. What a great performance.
Meet Joe Black is one of the best movies ever made. Period.
I agree 100%
Destroyed me
I agree. In my top five
I was working when my dad died... I was 29 years old.... when I arrived at home he was still where they found him.... all I could do was cry and kiss his forehead... even today after 24 years I still miss him... Death came to him before I could say goodbye... 😢
Death came visiting my pops on 5 Sep when I was 32 and I am 36 now . Will never ever forget that day of my life . Miss him so bad and I cry even now sometimes.
God knows when death will come for me but when he does I hope to have some good pictures by then .
Fret not, you will see him again, but not today.
Same here, lost my father at the age of 12. Was the precursor to all my years of depression.
One day he was calling me, the next he was dead. Lost my faith in God, and went through severe depression for most of my teen years, and into my young adulthood. I moved on after a few years, but I didn't really move on until a year ago when I realized just how much I destroyed my life by wasting time. A life my father would have never wanted me to destroy.
So I got into digital art, am going to buy bible to renew my faith and got a entry level job I've held onto for a long time.
I eventually want to get into nanorobotics and find a cure to cancer and radiation sickness, but that's a few years down the line.
@@kamieaston3016 I admire your strength. I've learned this lesson many times but I'm still trying to let go of certain traumas, more importantly letting go of punishing myself. It's been a decade and when you said you were destroying your life by wasting time, something happened to me that rarely happens, I FELT that. Fight to keep your faith in Jesus and live the best you can.
She died this month. April 8th. I RIP Sista. I have a new found love for this scene because I have a ton of Jamaican friends that teach me Patois.
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it” - Mark Twain
Probably the most moving scene in a movie filled with moving scenes. This actress was amazing.
Reminds Me Of The Day My Mother Passed ... She Closed Her Eyes, Went To Sleep & Gone ... How This Scene Makes Me Cry ... Yet, They Rest In Eternal Sleep ... Love You MOM!!
Such a poignant, delicate, fragile scene.
There’s a very rock-solid sense of Truth in this exchange.
Talking heart to heart, saying things as they are.
Not in a harsh way, not at all.
Just saying it without embellishments, yet with delicate honesty.
This might be one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve seen in a long, long time.
The 90s were the last decade of acting before CGI became the focus of filmmaking. RIP to great acting.
You're comparing apples to oranges. And if you think there aren't any movies today with great acting in it youre lost.
@@supahmariostyle he have some point, movie become more a money machine that a ART, and that is why only a small % of the actual movies are good enough, almost in the 90s - early 2000, EVEN 2010s i love go to see movies but with the actual agenda of the politics and woke culture sooooo many good movies become awful
@@MarcosGarcia-oq2qw You're just talking, but not saying anything at all. I hate to be rude, but you're invalidating his comment and went off topic at the same time. Also, how does any of what you said have anything to do with the acting? 😑
"don't be fooled. We lonely here mostly too."
I've forgotten how good this movie is.
That look on Brad's face when she asks, "you in love?" could guilelessly melt my heart like hot lava through steel.
Never tire of this film. Such great acting by amazing actors.❤
This female actor has just the most beautiful face and spirit emanating from that face..
The way they are talking woth each other and the flow of the music is sooo dannnggg goooodd. Favorite Romance Movie of all time.
Joe felt her pain and was only fair to ease it she was suffering😢
The world stopped making beautiful movies like this what feels like such a long time ago now.
She deserves an Academy Award for this scene!
👍👍👍
While it was an outstanding performance, one does not receive an Academy Award for just ONE scene in a picture.
