- From the film "Meet Joe Black", starring Anthony Hopkins (as Bill Parrish) and Brad Pitt (as Joe Black a.k.a. Death)
This is the scene in which Joe Black first learns of the phrase "death and taxes", and was quite displeased by such unflattering comparison.

I just dont understand. When I was a kid, Anthony Hopkins was old. Now I'm old, and hes STILL old.
I have had the same thought lol
Heh-heh-heh, you hear what he said? When he was a kid, Anthony Hopkins was old, and now that he's old, Anthony Hopkins is STILL old, heh-heh-heh
@@Bloodrammer Hey Tone, did you hear what I said?
He aint getting any younger
Haha
I love the way Death is so friendly and casual with Qince.
*Walks into a board room filled with serious looking individuals*
"Oh hello Quince."
Death knows the substance of the people around him. Quince is real.
Hey :)!
The way Death looks at Drew...He's not looking at an enemy or even a target
He's looking at an ant, and the ant is getting snippy 😂
Death comes for elephants and ants alike.
Imagine if a paramecium was sitting at your table and started getting snarky.
I haven't seen the movie but after this scene I definitely want to. That exchange between them was fun.
You are brilliant.
That analogy was seriously, perfectly stated.
Ants are strong and hard working, not stupid, or weak, not like flies, or worms...but in the end, they are ants, and humans sometimes play God with ants, don't we?
I'll say it again...genius!
Drew and Death in the future " Hello Drew, remember me? You gave me milk and cookies."
"your death will be painless"
That moment when Drew is being all rude to Joe and Joe just smiles like "I know when your time is and I'm going to enjoy it. But first, I'mma' steal your girl."
"...My door's wide open!"
"This little shit..."
"The tea, I can provide, even the milk, low fat!"
"... You know what? You may have won this encounter, but your time's gonna come soon. *And then you'll find out why I can be so patient."*
Hahahaha... 😊🤣
damn this was hilarious LOL
And...your cookies.
and get him fired
His speech about the news media is more important today than it's ever been.
Been bought out a long time ago ,They just like to tell you
3 things that are always certain - Death, Taxes, Anthony Hopkins been 80 years old since birth
That was a very mean and rude thing to say about Mr. Hopkins, very rude indeed your comment is .... Just remember, you're gonna get old one of these days, just remember that ... thumbs down to your comment
And now he really is.
watch 'The Lion in Winter' or 'A Bridge Too Far' he's a good looking dude old and young alike
Same with Morgan Freeman and Samuel L Jackson
Not always. My first introduction to him was in the BBC's War and Peace, 1972. ruclips.net/video/bHzm8nyqogw/видео.html
The omnipotent calm confidence...and simultaneous child like curiousity...the foreshadowing of "Death & Taxes" in this scene is priceless
A primordial entity as old as time itself in a board of directors meeting of a mega corporation. To Death, this would all just look like children playing at a tea party.
The things humans do until they die.
That’s a really extreme way to describe Sir Anthony Hopkins.
I suspect Death would be Chairman of the Board.
It looks like that to me, and I'm only 43.
@@Ceaseless_Watcher What a coincidence! :))
As a former journalist, I love his speech here. An ideal media owner and publisher.
What happened that made you a "former journalist?"
The world needs journalists more than ever.....
Is there a media owner and publisher that's not in someones pocket or pushing one political view ?
@@alokinzna There's not a single human that isn't in someone else's pocket and pushing a political view. All humans are bound to this basic principle. You hold loyalty to someone or something else. You hold convictions in some way or another and push them on others. Its not necessarily bad, just a human flaw.
Too bad that media owner is as fictional as Death falling in love ans sparing her dad.
Brad's performance in this movie is the best. His subtle facial expressions say so much. Great movie
yes. he has been allways an underrated actor just because "he is cute". But he allways delivers. In this movie he is just increible. Very Jhonny deep style also hahaha
His choices are soo interesting and wonderful that it makes the charater soo layered and cool
@@camaleonsacor1618 Very. I agree.
@@camaleonsacor1618 Personally I don't think he has ever been underrated. He has always been near the top of the AAA actors.

You're a talker. Listening to talkers makes me thirsty. And hungry. I think I'll take TWO cookies.

Ya lived ya life for the king , ya gonna die for some COOKIES ?
My sides legit fucking hurt from laughing so hard at that comment, that was fucking perfect! XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD!!!!!
Ha Ha Classic 👍
Loved brads tone when he says "Then why'd you bring it up?" Just cracks me up.
“If we sell to him, and he buys a few others, in order to reach the world you would need to go through him. And not only would you have to pay him, you’d have to agree with him to have your message sent”
This kinda hit home. It feels like that’s what we have been heading towards for the last decade or so
Are you saved? If you died tonight would you go to heaven or hell?
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.

"Death & Taxes?"
Brad Pitt's acting in this is just gold.
This is one of those movies I would have never watched in my younger days, but in my now days would greatly appreciate.
Well, probably because we can appreciate more the acting and also, we are more aware of the concept of death when we age.
Someone else said the exact same thing in the comments, down to the T. 🤔 Wonder what’s going on. 🧐🤨
Maybe it’s just a stupid bot that’s getting “smart” by copying another comment so it can seem relevant to the video. 🧐
@@amosdraak3536 Maybe they just had the same sentiment I had, not like I said any unusual words here.
@@alexanderthered5603
No, but it was a copy and paste of exactly what you said. The screen name is really click-baity, so it probably was just copying your post and trying to fit it. Plus the part where you say “but in my now days” isn’t technically the way it’s said, so for that person to have written that exactly the same way, too, just kinda seems like it was a copy of your comment after a few months. No big deal, but just mentioning since that account is new, too.
Sorry for any confusion or whatever, man 😅
I like how "Joe" acts almost supernatural. Joe is human but he is still death, still immortal, still beyond the physical. Joe is sitting at the conference table and while saying almost nothing but a request for tea and cookies the audience can see Joe sees Drew as small, miniscule, transparent. In some ways Joe doesnt understand humans yet he knows all about them. He knows their lives almost better than they do. We don't know how much Joe knows but we do know that he is operating from a level of perception far beyong we physical humans. The dialogue is ordinary, but the emotional and spiritual subtext of the exchange is fascinating. The acting is done very well. Ive probably watched MJB 100x qne its still captivating
No matter what critics had to say about this movie : I love it, it is a great movie. Every part. ❤
Me too 👍
I love it
Critics are useless people who can't actually do anything themselves. Their opinions are of little relevance especially when their reviews are usually bought and paid for
Critics work are to criticize. Rarely they praises.
This movie has it's educational points too and a well thought of plot.
@@disturbed157 sometimes critics are really interesting when they know the insight of film making/animation. Like that whole into the Spider verse movie why does it suddenly seem like Miles Morales is moving now fluidly? It's because in his spiderman coustume he's going 16 frames then 24 frames then 48 frames to in the climax 60 frames when the other Spidermans are still doing 48.
Like it isn't slow mo exactly or that ridiculous but what your eye sees is him being clumsy... And the other spiders being more fluid and unless you know animation you wouldn't recognize that's why and it's obviously intentional.
Critics make a living judging thousands of people's life works so they're always Hacks or assholes to someone who directly creates. But if I hear someone like I dunno Red Letter Media say this new Scream Movie Scream VI is the best Horror movie of the Decade... I'm going to see the movie.
“Death, taxes and German counterattacks are the three certainties in life.” A saying in the British army.
A lot of times to Germany's detriment.
Germany was a superior army

"Death, taxes, German counterattacks and the Spanish inquisition are the three, no, four certainties in life..."
The british monarchy is filled with half german offsprings, William and Harry being great and recent examples

@@johnwick2614 TMZ has caught up pretty quickly, don't you think? I'd say they're the worst.
i love the slow pace in this movie. every dialogue takes longer than movies usually do them, but i love how you can slowly dive into them. also, the lack of background music is making it even better.
To me, the dialogue in this movie, though slow at times, is some of the most memorable in cinema history (IMHO). For example, during the whole exchange with Drew and Joe, Drew went on about keeping regular office hours and providing milk "low-fat", and Joe just glared back at him with the ever-so-slight smile of knowing (obviously when drew will die). Simple, yet memorable.
"Who is that guy!!??" LOL....perfect line to end the scene
i agree
The missed Messiah to the new(s) "men".?
😂 loved that..
When their time has come, “Have we met before?” “Yes, in the boardroom meeting.” “Jelly cookies and english tea.” “Oh my gosh!” Dies.
One of the best and most underrated movies of all time! So beautiful!!!
We need more guys like Bill Parrish to report the news today.
We don't report the news. We sell it.
I love this movie so much. Mainly because of Anthony Hopkins' excellent acting, but also because there are so many very funny lines in it that sometimes come at the most unexpected times! Like, "Death and Taxes? What an odd pairing." or "Thank you for the delicious cookies", and "Just the butter", and my favorite: "And you're going to piss some more"
Definitely an unbelievable movie. Super moving and introspective
Don't forget, "...Yes, yes I do like peanut butter..."😂

Holy shit his speech is so relevant to today's media. It's literally the nightmare scenario he described if he sold out his company. It's happened to today's media, and big tech with all of their censorship. "In order to reach the world, you'll have to go through X company, and not only will you have to pay X company to do this, far more importantly, you'll have to agree with them." THIS IS SPOT ON. I was not expecting this accurate level of social commentary on the media and big tech from a 23 year old movie.
Spot on , mate
it was relevant back then, and the 70s etc
One million %
I instantly thought of rupert murdoch
Media today does not equal company, or corporation. Today you don''t have to go thru X company to reach the world. My problem with this model is that the flow of information is strictly one-way.
I love how death seems amused by the other characters sarcasm and hubris. I imaging he has 30 different ways of taking the guy to the next place running through in mind as he he listens to that little speech.
The look in Joe's eyes say it all .... I'm looking forward to seeing you in the future.
Bearing in mind that now Brad Pitt is almost in the same age (56) like Anthony Hopkins was in the film (60), the difference in their appearance is absolutely stunning!
Anthony Hopkins looked like a normal person at his age, Pitt looks like a movie star.
@@anom6707, Yup. And Hopkins can act brilliantly and Pitt is usually wooden in his delivery.
@@uppingham1966 there are so few that are not woody in contrast to Hopkins. It's not fair to compare Pitt with one of the absolute best. You compare the likes of Pacino, Kidman, Hanks with Hopkins, not the Brad Pitts and Tom Cruises.
@@uppingham1966 dont get stuck on the delivery. he could teach most actors a great deal regardin body language.
I agree. I am 54 right now... I just don't believe that I look like what 54 looked like when I was younger. Some of my h.s. school mates are the same and some look 20 years older than I do. Strange.
Brad Pitt is always eating something in movies. :)
gredangeo that’s crazy i said the same thing when I watched oceans. 😂
Maybe he has an eating disorder 🤔
@@kookie4nookie it's so he doesn't starve on set between takes. He's made a habit of it.
v3ndril it's because he can't act, apparently
If you can't act well they usually give you something to chew on or 'play' with to aid you... and no one can deny how pretty he is to look at so they can smooth over eating fairly easily :)
I love this movie. You don't know if Joe is playing with you or if he really doesn't know what you're talking about.
This scene is so relevant in today's political media climate
I love how Joe is seemingly thinking, “I have to sit way over there!”
The look Joe gives drew at the end is priceless.
Looking around the room realizing he will be meeting with most of that board soon rather than later!
LMAO !!!
Before late you should watch the movie Onegin and listen the soundtracks and read the Onegin soundtracks names.
This film is amongst my favorites because of the many emotions it strikes from comedy to tragedy.
I love love Anthony Hopkins voice and speaking ,I want a audiobook that he is narrator
He's Welsh boyo
Hey friend, not sure if you're still interested in audiobooks by Anthony but there's "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats Read by Anthony Hopkins and "Fern Hill" by Dylan Thomas Read by Anthony Hopkins as well as "The Love Song of J.

Fast forward to 2020 and this has a whole different view
Truth unvarnished... 2020 blatant lies.
My favorite part of this movie is that we see there is something far more powerful than even Death and that is at the end: love. Death refuses to take the daughter with him because he loves her. There’s absolutely nothing anyone could do to stop him but he is convinced to spare her and does so, knowing it’s back to an eternity of loneliness but he can’t bare to hurt her or the ones she loves.
That's not quite the way I remember it. It was Bill, here dad that objected.
Even "death" falls in love
It won't be an eternity, just until he comes back for her lol
@@diane8937 he objected of course but he couldn't do anything to stop joe. It was because joe loved her

nah you missed it aye
Only watched this movie about 18 times when it was released in the 90s. I just love his mannerisms that depict his separation from the mere mortals. 💖
Not a big Brad Pitt fan but I do enjoy Anthony Hopkins. This movie was underrated in my opinion. I really enjoyed it and have watched it a dozen times since it came out. I never tire of the story and Hopkins does the role justice.
And Brad Pitt.
I have to agree on Anthony Hopkins , but , Brad Pitt us also incredible as Death !!!👍👍👍
Watching and dissecting this film, I wonder why it didn’t get better reviews. At first I wondered if death has been around for a millennium, why does he seem so childlike and awkward. I believe he has been around that long, but as death, an all powerful, other worldly entity and now experiencing his existence as a mortal being, with all its flaws, and fragility. I think I’m starting to appreciate how good this movie actually is. And it helps that Claire Forlani is so beautiful!
I get the feeling a lot of movies from over 20 years didn’t get their fair review. Perhaps it's a sad commentary on how poor our movies are today.
@@smallbluemachine , contemporary movies suck in 90% of cases. Political correctness has almost killed the art of cinematography.
I seriously suggest Discworld series of Terry Pratchett. Death might be a secondary character in most of the books, but he is almost primary character in couple. And you get very similar vibes.
The biggest flaw is Claire Forlani is beautiful but that's all they seemed to be relying on for her character. There isn't really much there when it comes to the romance. Every other angle in the movie has actual compelling drama or comedy to it, but the romance story is just "these two are pretty and cute together", because Forlani is not well-developed and Pitt is, well, not actually playing a human person.
Anyway I still love the film but I could see why that hole in the writing would lead to poor reviews for what is billed as a romance.
@@george-florinconstantin4141 Oh, the cinematography is what suffered from the PC crowd? Are people too woke for dutch angles and soft focus now? 🤣

I love how Drew is so flippant and dismissive, he has no idea who he is talking to. Maybe there is something to be said to being respectful to strangers, as well as being well mannered.
It shouldn't be about fear but love
I mean from everyone else's perspective Joe is being the rude one.
It is enjoyable to see Death with a little smirk on his face looking at Drew as if to say, "If you only knew to whom you were speaking, you would be acting quite differently."

Drew has no idea he is being sarcastic and dismissive to someone who is older, wiser, and a whole lot more predatory than himself...I really enjoy how Death stays polite, as if to emphasize that good manners enhance one's social standing, a standing that Drew is losing.
The look Brad gave that dude and the slight smirk. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
This is always been one of my favorite movies. The movie is great and the soundtrack is beautiful to sit in a quiet place and listen to.
Brad Pitt's best, but underrated, movies of all time. People will be watching this hundreds of years from now.
Drew makes it clear he's threatened by "Joe" the moment the meeting starts. He stands while everyone else sits like a guard dog watching a trespasser.
And that stare at 3:51 when Hopkins says the other mogul wants to buy it.
That " I know what you're up to." stare.
@@seen203 Yep. Good call.
Interesting (and great!) observation of body language there. I believe you are totally correct, because even though I can imagine Drew needing to be standing when his boss arrives (in "theory" of a good padewan that has true respect for his master), he still maintains a standing position, thus becoming dominant posture after both Bill and Joe have seated. Also Interesting to note, the most dangerous person in the room just wants to have a nice cup of milk and cookies, and I don't think he feels Drew's attitude until he comments about how he provided the milk for Joe. At which point Joe gets a (oh, you wanna be like that huh) look, that makes me as the spectator feel like I need to start praying for Drew's soul. :)
Seen 20 I hadn’t noticed that reaction. Thanks for sharing your observation.
I think joe is the ultimate troll in this movie. He may have even created the term troll.
I never thought of that haha
"Reporting the news is a privilege, and a responsibility, and it is not exploitable". Mainstream media in 2020 missed the memo.

Just 2020? Really? Just mainstream media? Hmm. I am not even sure the news was ever not exploitable. Guess we'll just have to adapt and use our critical thinking skills and not just believe things that suit or cater to our already established set of ideas right?
@@jayr3381 all of it dude
@@jayr3381 Fox at least REPORTS the news, CNN will straight up omit or suppress stories. Fox's problem is they sensationalize stuff, but at least it's there for you to make your own opinion. Can't have an opinion on something if you don't know it ever happened like on CNN.
The real take away here is the part where he said you'd have to agree with the people who own the platform you're using. That is literally today's big tech.
I never caught the way Death looks at Drew when Bill says "to buy it." It makes me think Death already knew Drew was a mole. Which kind of makes sense.
This movie was poorly received for some reason, but I think it is fantastic.

I also loved the movie. It was a box office smash in Europe. In the US not so much where we tend to ignore death.
@@trajan75 probably!!
OMG I forgot how much i loved this film, another one to add to the new year purchase list xx
Nobody:
RUclips suggestions in 2019: Random Clips from a 21 year movie.
Yup.
There's a mysterious AI at work.
it has recently come up on social media because of the scene he does speaking Jamaican patois
@Amy Petty try posting a real comment next time eh? instead of copy paste someone's dead meme
2020 here
I loved this scene.
I saw the movie with my dad when it came out in theaters.
I enjoy its spirit.
Thanks.
That glare Joe gives dude is saying, "Mutha----- I can end you in seconds."
This film made me fall in love with Brad Pitt. The film is acted well by all and I could listen to Anthony Hopkins voice for ages
I believe Brad Pitts knows what Drew is up so that is why he stared at him.
Well if you've watched the rest of the movie you clearly know he did, lol ;)
Hope that if you were death you would know the thoughts & deads of everyone or the job would not be worth taking (how will he judge) who is worthy or not lol !
Angela Carleton he the angel of death
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares..... the Angel of Death requires english-style tea with milk and delicious jelly cookies Brad Pitt's acting in Meet Joe Black is nothing short of masterful
Dear God... he predicted what Twitter would be.
Beautifull spot when Bill says "Jhon Bountaqeou wants to BUY IT" and Brad looks at Drew. The way he looks at him is just the perfect way death will look a guy in that moment and be saying reaally soft: "I know". Man... every thing brad does in this movie is just perfect.
I forgot how great this film was what a phenomenal scene!
Sir Anthony acts as bussinessman a good bussinessman, a good bussinessman would not cheat to his employee, so nice to have a boss like him
The stare Death has after the guy says "low fat"...it's as if he wanted to take him then and there. That look of, "you have no earthly idea who you're speaking to. You're closer to death than anyone has ever been, and you don't even know."
The funny thing is, parrish must be ashamed of joe's antics but decided not to do anything because after all, at the end of the day, joe is death 😂😂
probably worried that one of the board members pisses him off, and he boops him on the forehead dead. literally an unstoppable force of nature is in his boardroom. superman cant fuck with death.
He's also discombobulated by being forced to confront his imminent demise, and having to abruptly reconsider all his decisions about his business and his legacy in that light. I really love Anthony Hopkins in this.
I'd like to share my humble opinions for the sake of this great movie, the acting in it, and the story. Being ashamed may be an initial thought; but consider this: If death came to take you, and he's just walking around in someone else's body, being nice to you and seeming to help; a being that has access to everyone's mind, because he has to know when (and where) to "get" them. It would be such an odd feeling being in the presence of death, I would imagine, that being ashamed of anything death caused or did, might be an emotion that would be overlooked in the moment for other "surreal" ones. Like, exactly what Bill did. He was like....ok we're done. bye yall, come on Joe....Joe, come on right now. :)
@@demonikfunk When in the presence of great power, one must step quite gingerly. Death could upon mild irritation blot Drew out of existence without missing a bite of a cookie. :)
The saddest part in this movie is when she realizes she is in love with "Joe Black's" spirit (aka death)but the spirit already left his body 😭 and all she is left with is the image of her soulmate, his empty shell truly death.
such a great film!
Yes I totally agree. She realised who she had really loved only when he was gone. If only she had stopped talking about the morning at the coffee shop.
@@jentours he loves her he will come back
@@jentours he complimented my hair then hurt my feelings so I cut off my hair so he would stare
Joy Cast Nah usually nice guys like “Joe Black” will step aside if they think their girls will be happy with the guys they truly love. He doesn’t even think she loves him at all.:(
This movie script and cast are exceptionally brilliant!.
I have to watch this movie again. I remember a view things only. Thank you to who ever uploaded the video
That Cookie's crunch at the end is to die for...
Watching this now makes a lot more sense and profound especially with everything going on with media, integrity and...Death & Taxes
Everyone hates on Drew like he's the asshole here. Put yourself in his shoes - you're presenting to the chairman of your company's board an opportunity to sell the whole company, and some weird dude starts interrupting you to ask for tea and cookies. Drew handled himself gracefully.
And you lost a chance to sell your stocks to a billionare because the chairman decided NOT to. It’s like the “stonks” meme, but with Joe Black with cookies on it.
I wouldn’t have picked “gracefullly” to describe his behaviour.
You’ve forgotten he was an “inside man” working for John Bontecue; his entire purpose was to convince Mr Parrish to sell his company (direct competitor to John Bontecue) so they could break up the company and dissolve it. When you put his motives into perspective, how he handled this interaction still doesn’t warrant not thinking of him as an asshole. At least not to me lol
Very astute observation, and you will find the whole movie very well made around this theme when you watch it. It's an odd movie in many ways, nog easily catagorizable in known genres. Enjoy, Cheers, Bro
@david perkins I am sorry, I took tour remarks as sarcasme, but on closer reading that was probably not how you intended it. It's not my intention to scorn you in public, so I will modify my earlier respons. Cheers and regards, Bro
Brad Pitt should have an Oscar for his performance in this movie...no doubt about it.
Brad does a great job in this role.
We sit with death every day and most don't realize it. I wonder what a freeing feeling knowing he is sitting next to you as you go through your day. Having a relationship with death...what a concept.
absolutely love this movie
lmao i love when he leaves the room at the end, you hear him bite into the cookie and such a soft echo of delight from death himself "mmHMmmm" reminds me of death from supernatural eating pickle chips, i cant help but wonder if supernatural modeled their character of death as inspiration from this movie :D food for thought :P
Maybe!
Food for thought... I see what you did there... 😉
@4:59 - That look like, "Boyyyyy if you only knew." wooooo lol
The Angel of Death doesn't appear to be the sharpest scythe in the shed.
Maybe occupying a body is a bit discumbobulating.
You’re talking about a being so old and so disconnected with the world in which he reaps. You can forgive him for his shortcomings, knowing what his sole purpose is.
Deception is his thing don't forget.
I think that makes him more fucking sexy 😂
Heh, he's just... umm... socially inept. 😓 ... yeah...
I wish they still made movies like this.
The few moments when Brad and Claire meet at the coffee shop is magical. Great dialogue, visuals, expressions, acting..
"It Took Me A Long Time To Get Young Parts"
--Anthony Hopkins
What a fascinating life to be a young actor such as Hopkin & struggling to play his own age & only getting older characters.
😂😂 Great movie, watched it several times n I'll watch it again. Brad's funny in some of these scenes !
I wish this scene ended with Quince going "I dunno, but actually I could go for some of those cookies too..."
The underlying comedy in such a calm delivery is hilarious
"The coolies are delicious, thank you" and John Black as innocent as the kid next door leaves after his master.
Bloody beautiful...
Over 20 years later and Bill is alive and well.
Our Main stream media executives should listen to this speech they might learn something
Just Fantastic, one of my favorite scenes of all time
This is one of great movie, every scene till end connected n perfect till end
What I’m always fascinated with is that Bill Parrish is named in a style similar to how Dickens names his characters, indicative of his destiny in the film, to perish.
If Death comes for me, he ain't havin' ANY of my cookies!
This was one of the better movies I saw and now I should watch it again.
Knowing about the second scene about Death and Taxes, when Joe looks at Drew and later taps his hands on the boardroom table just adds to the second watching of this movie. Things that were inconsequential are suddenly very important.
3:50 John Bontecou wants to buy it, the knowing glance at drew.
