Meet Joe Black (1998) REACTION 

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. 😆

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

When death is on holiday , no one can die.

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...

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

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

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.”

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.

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.

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 🤗.

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.

Glad more and more RU-vidrs are finally reacting to this iconic movie. 👍

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Brad's acting is always amazing. Seven,fight club…

He showed the old lady what is waiting for her on the other side. Thats why she smiled 😥

I remember seeing this movie back in 98 when I was a lil kid. Since then it always stuck with me. Good movie. Always enjoyed seeing it again.

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.

This film is highly underrated

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

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

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

I think that this was joe’s way of showing his love for Susan in a way that was selfless by returning the man she had that meet cute with at the coffee shop.

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

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.

Viki makes this channel with her gorgeous self and she brings so much insight and fun in this film. Love her ❤ I love her character figures out Joe and love Joe Black returns as himself.

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🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

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.

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.

Meanwhile, Bill Parrish lies dead on the other side of that bridge as they walk away!

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.

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.

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

Thelma & Louise is Brad’s first movie and he’s incredible in it. It’s also a classic amazing film

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 😅

so glad more reactors are starting to do this movie. I adore this movie

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’.

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!

This is my favorite movie of all time.

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

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

No Ellie? :( She would cry her heart out at this one.

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 🙂

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

Ihr seid so unterschiedlich beim zuschauen der Filme. Jede von euch ist wundervoll auf ihre eigene Art und Weise. Ihr seid mitfühlend, gefühlvoll und emotional. Es macht Freude euch zuzuschauen. Weiter so!!!

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

34.00 Vickie had to go first, she dragged Michelle down a few seconds later. Livia pretty stoic has to be said. Seeing the old girl trying to talk him down whilst dying is very emotional. A nice moment.

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.".

I just realized now that most of my favourite movies are with Brad Pitt starring there. Meet Joe Black, Troy, Glorious Bastards, Snatch...

This scene invented the meet cute. I’m fully convinced of that

This movie is a MASTERPIECE. Martin Brest's best film....and he directed Gigli! lol

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

Unfortunately some of us are unable, for a variety or sometimes even specific reasons, to even attempt Love. It's great to see friends do so and build families and Love to one and all but for some, it's just not meant to be unfortunately. Peace and Love and have a great festive season ❤

Michelle, I can’t believe how much you’ve changed since the first movie you and Ellie watched . These movies …Something happened to you , and I’m not just talking about the swooning over Brad , Lol . cant explain it in a few words. 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

Viki had a great reaction, thanks for that. 😀

12 yrs old, this was my first movie date LOL

Since you love Brad Pitt as many of us do, you have got to do the movie Legends of the Fall.

I've never seen Michelle like she did in 33:55. It made her beauty shine in an incredibly beautiful way. 😍 Oh btw the movie is really awesome too 😅

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!

I love this film. So glad you girls chose to watch it!!

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

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

"They killed Brad Pitt!" - What an honest and inevitable reaction)) Great incredible movie, anyway.👍

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.

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

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.

If you girls like this, then you will absolutely love "Legends of the Fall" also starring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins.

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.🛫😍

Beautiful reaction girls, I expected you to react to this movie and those tears did not disappoint me haha... I recommend another very nice movie, Vanilla Sky.

What I want to know is why didn't the family go looking for the dad when he disappeared..There's a body on the grounds somewhere.

One of my favorites. Thanks for brightening my day.

THIS MOVIE BREAKS ME EVERY TIME 😢

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... . .

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

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

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

Three beautiful ladies reviewing one of my favorite movies. :-) Happy Monday!

Ladies this movie is an updated version of the original 1934 film Death Takes a Holiday which was later remade in 1971 film of the same name

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

What a lot of younger viewers don't seem to realize is that this is actually a remake of "Death Takes A Holiday". An old black-and-white movie in which Death decides to live with a mortal to better understand why people seem to be so afraid of him. It's been a while since I last watched it, so I don't remember how well it stands the test of time. I do remember that "Meet Joe Black" is better.

Meet Joe Black is one of the finest examples of subtle acting that I have ever personally seen... the way the actors and actresses handle their roles, their nuance and delivery - it's briilliant. One of those things when you can view it years later and find something new.

🤩🤩 I absolutely love the scene when Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt leave the party (the end of the movie). The music is pure perfection and beauty in this beautiful scene.! Beauty, beauty, beauty...

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.

Very good movie but largely ignored by reactors. Thanks for reacting to it.
