I think one of the most interesting details that Brad threw in with his character is that death is slightly awkward speaking with the living but more eloquent with those close to dying.

I always like the idea that Death isn’t good or evil. Not one to judge a person life or punish for it. A guide for souls to embark on their next journey.

The hearafter, is pain no more. The judgements come on earth. Have you ever noticed, when a person lives a life well lived. That person's legacy is thought of as he was almost an angel. Its the story that lives on not the ending.

Brad Pitt does such a good job in this role. Even when he is being calm and comforting, he always maintains those piercing eyes you'd expect from a reaper

I was younger when I watched this, it's been years. Watching this clip made me realize that I missed what was happening. He said he couldn't ease her pain and he didn't. Not physically anyway. But not all pain is physical. He showed her what was to come. He brought her peace and eased her fear. Kind of want to rewatch this and see what else I missed.

there are many depictions of death where they are the absolute opposite of what the mainstream media tends use when choosing to "personify" it. In "Sandman" she's a kind and gentle woman, in "Discworld" he's a light hearted and low-key goofy but otherwise relatable old spirit. I love it when authors do these kinds of things, it gives more meaning to the whole process of death and grief itself.

Love that he also played gentle death in his youth in twilight zone

Fully agree. She made you feel her pain and yearning so well. Brad's performance is striking because we know he does not speak with that accent. But she gave this scene the human intensity. That is what we all feel.

I'm not sure if it was intentional but it's fun to watch Brad's face twitch and focus. It's a subtle nod to how everyone perceives death differently but in the end it's the same entity. He's able to become the most comfortable form to whom he is speaking.

Oh! Such beauty and tenderness.

I like this scene but its missing the best part-the part where she recognizes him right away and then he breaks out in patois. It took me by surprise when I watched it, I didn't expect the movie to include this.

You can't take away another's pain without feeling it. Don't try this at home, or anywhere else for that matter 🙄

Hmm. I hope Death looks exactly like Brad Pitt in this movie :).

Imagine having the literal Grim Reaper fall in love with you...

I have always held that Death is just someone who walks someone into death cause at least your not alone while you are

gives her a small taste of the hereafter then a comforting soon to let her know her time is close, perhaps to give her the strength to tough it out knowing what she has to look forward to.

Maybe the most beautiful movie ever made?

It's just part of the original soundtrack written for the movie. There are various "melodies" that are connected to various themes. I would call this one the Joe Black Angel of Death melody. There is a beautiful melody each time Susan and Joe are getting to know each other and falling in love - heard gently for the first time as they part at the coffee shop, and swelling to full orchestra as they walk away from each other. The music written for this movie is a real gem.

This kinda reminds me of *scp 4999* "someone to watch over us"

Not a good movie but Brad's scenes with the Jamaican woman were the best part of the movie and quite moving

It make me cry every time

He's Death ,and she (The older lady)can tell he's something otherworldly,so she's basically dying and in pain,so she asks him to take her to the after life to ease the pain but he says it's not her time yet so he takes the pain away so it's easier for her.

I definitely will never watch this movie again. I'll delete it from my Amazon movies I own. Total stupidity, drawn out, and boring. I thought it was going to be a horror movie when I saw the trailer of the hospital scene. I expected more from Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. Especially at the end when the soul of the guy from the coffee shop is back in the body after getting hit twice in the street!
