    For the ones complaining about Brad Pitt's Patois, He was taught by Lois Kelly-Miller who was the Jamaican lady in the wheelchair. He also had an additional language instructor. Lois Kelly Miller was pleased with his Patois so I don't know why people are harping on it. And there are white Jamaicans also. Not everyone is black on the island.

    It drives me nuts when people criticize Brad Pitt's patois in this scene. His vocal patterns in the accent he uses for the rest of the movie aren't exactly smooth and natural, either. Brad Pitt sounds like he's trying to speak in the way that is most soothing and comforting to whomever he is addressing but just can't quite sound right or human -- in other words, *he nailed it*.

      I do think that Lois Kelly Miller is a highly skilled actor. I think she shows great skill in this scene, at showing pain, and relief from pain, on her face. And she draws the audience into watching and listening to her. Very moving. Gripping. But don't think this is one of the greatest scenes of all time. Why? Because I don't think it was written well. I don't think it is true to life. I don't think there is any way "Joe Black," death personified, can ease my pain. It just doesn't happen that way in real life. _Doctor Lady_ with prescribing privileges ease my pain. Unfortunately there is too much government interference with the prescribing privileges of physicians, so my doctor may not be able to prescribe opioid pain relievers for me as appropriately as she would be able to, if she had no interference. But I am going off on a tangent there. As someone who is dying and is in pain (as well as is experiencing weakness and fatigue) no-one has ever showed me the afterlife and eased my pain that way. It doesn't happen in the real world. If there is an "afterlife" it would be something I know nothing about. I haven't had a "glimpse" of it in "this life." Just doesn't happen. I look to my "doctor lady" for pain relief, not some imaginary being.

      @safiremorningstar 2 месяца назад +38

      The irony is that death there did not really think it was her time yet, but when he touched her to relieve her of her pain because she begged of him, he knew that maybe it was see sometimes people can see death and just because you can see death doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to die right then and there it just means you have a certain gift for it I don’t know if gift is the right word however when he relieved her of her pain, he knew right then, and there that her time was very very short, but until then he was not certain he may ask how could death not be certain you can know the win of things and the house of things it doesn’t mean it always goes to plan. Even death knows there’s a certain degree of possibilities that things won’t always go to the precise way they should go. if you ask how I know this, I will tell you this there are enough doctors who have known me and known that I should already be dead several times over but I’m not and if you knew half of what I’ve been through in my life, you would ask how the hell am I still alive? The answer to that question is death and I go way back and I sometimes wonder why I am still alive when anybody else who’s been through what I’ve been through would’ve been dead. By now I think the only thing that hasn’t happened to me yet is a bullet through the brain. I’ve been electrocuted. I’ve been hit by lightning. I was in a hit-and-run when I was 4 1/2 years old that should’ve killed me instead of left me with a jaw that didn’t grow in properly and headaches that never stop. I could go through a whole list, but there is an a point those who know me say the fact that I’m still here and that it’s a miracle don’t know what a real miracle is for me. A real miracle is death being on the installment Plan is nothing but a lot of pain and suffering.

      He didn't relieve her pain at all... he did something far better. He gave her a glimpse of Heaven and THAT was the moment of joy we see on her face as she now understands where she's going. The pain isn't gone, but it simply becomes insignificant as she contemplates the knowledge of peace in eternity. That's why he said "soon".

But that made me cry, I saw my mom in that look, that actress nailed it. She may have seen that look a few times from friends of hers and maybe even her parents. It just seems like relief. I miss my mom every single day, she passed in 2020, I'm 42 and I can't move on.

    As a costumer, this scene alone is worth an essay. The supporting clothes are clean but "unfresh". Death's suit is out of date. No shine.

      I've always thought that first appearance of Brad Pitt in this scene shows Death just standing there in the hallway as if he doesn't quite belong. Like he's somehow inserted over the background, like a magazine cutout of Brad Pitt pasted over a photo of a hospital. I used to think it was merely Pitt's stance, his acting, but you're right, it's also the fit of the suit, the texture and color, how it hangs on him, how it reflects the light. Great point about the costuming!

      It was ominous of about what was to unfold in the scene. Death dresses always in Black n White, with no luster, shine or shadow, and the ill fitting suit as his faces and stance further brings forward he’s off his usual self as during the rest of the film he experiences first-time’s, sorta child-like cute as a toddler with unlaced shoes or jacket unawares of bearings, regardless his vast much cosmic infinite experience at larger n deeper matters of life n death or rather death and the separation of both, but with a more incomplete knowledge of what lays on the "life side”… thus the tour of his through in the film surrounded by colorful characters of all kinds delivering his schooling he will soon master

      Let's face it, he stole every scene he was in in Thelma and Louise. He got talked about because of the bare assed scene, but he was mesmerizing any time he was on screen. When people praise him there are always more of them gushing about his looks than there are marveling at his talent. That's just because there are more shallow people than there are people who respect how hard real acting is.

Myself, I am not afraid of dying, I just don’t want to go in a violent way. I also love the movie City of Angels, I like to think that angels walk the earth among us like in that movie. We all have free will and what a person does with that is unique. People are looking for ways to stay young, live longer. They can but not by the way too many of us live. People just don’t want to give up on the bad ways they live so they are destined to succumb to all the ills that life will throw at them, and I will continue to do my job too.

    The genius of this scene with the elderly woman essentially begging not to die but the moment Pitt's character explains his purpose being there and that he's not a vengeful spirit, she asks him to put her out of her misery. Humans fear death, of course, but the much greater fear is a cruel or confusing death. People near the end will be fine if it's their time. The fear comes from the death itself being frightening and not going in peace.

Anyway, I digress, the greatest obstacle of accepting this fate was coming to terms with the fear of my actual exit (moment of death). I’m ready now, my only sadness and prayers are for my mother, family and friends.

    I dont know why I watched this movie a few times over the years, but it grew on me. I had trouble ex cepting the awkward change Pit made from life to death. I always felt double rolls came out cheesy, but the exchanges between Hopkins & Pit over time ironed it out. That said; not knowing whether Pits Jamaican accent was good or bad Cracked me up, but the scene worked. From the moment Pits charactor died it felt awkward, but death is awkward & the stark change between the young handsome full of life Pit & Joe Black had to have contrast. The attraction she had for the awkward Joe Black compared to the living Pit was curious. It was so bizzarre it could be spooky, yet that spark he had in life was too hard for her to shake off in death. We could justify it as simple physical attraction, but it was more than that. In life Pit was jubilantly curious like a kid discovering new things. In death, tho not jubilant, he still had that child like curiosity. I dated a Japanese exchange student decades ago who spoke lil English, yet her curiosity & excitement about things I long lost my excitement for woke up my excitement once again. There's no measure for that. You get tired of a song as well as any cover of it until one day you hear a cover that excites you again.

    For those in the comments who wonder about the end of life:
    I had an NDE about 20 years ago; heart failure. My mind slipping away into dreams as I lost consciousness, I was overcome by a warm darkness, an all encompassing comfort, the promise of the best sleep I would ever have. I was actually disappointed when I began to feel my body again and returned to the land of the living as the ER attendants resucitated me.

I woke to blinding surgical lights on the ceiling which angered me. I shouted at the medical team, "what the hell is wrong with you people? Do you always make it a point to suddenly wake people up and shout out them?" They told me that I wasn't asleep, but that I had passed away. Like you, I felt an incredible peacefulness amongst a dark space. It was a peacefulness that I had never experienced before and something that I didn't want to end.
