Well, I mean, so was the Joker

Death and Taxes my friend

@@actor765exactly it’s a play on the idiomatic expression, death and taxes. Death knew he feared taxes more than deaths hence the comedic value in the scene.

@@GatherYeRosebudsWhileYeMay i didnt need you to explain my joke

A subtle change when he hears the dreaded word IRS. Kudos to the actor. Excellent.

Exactly to some people the IRS and taxes are as scary as death

some great writing in this scene. hell yeah.

agreed!

@@natalieps2387 Nope. Earlier in the movie Drew mentions the phrase "nothing is certain but death and taxes" to Joe, which Joe has never heard before. As Death, he is a bit offended by it. This is just a really fun callback to that scene.

Indeed! What writing!

I truly like this movie. But an "undisclosed conflict of interest" is not something that the Internal Revenue Service would be concerned about. It is out of its jurisdiction. :)

@@sonofizzy presumbally if the undisclosed conflict of interest is part of a conspiracy to evade taxes it becomes their concern. Not to mention if there were an investigation the FEC would be going in deep and dry on those two and they would face ruination and years behind bars. That would be.the best thing that happens to them. No doubt the board will be filing a complaint with the FEC and IRS. In honour of Bill Parish's memory they would want to protect his legacy. No doubt Quincy if he does have the mettle and Iron in the spine, and has found merger options, could well rise to chairman status. Would do him a world of good to I think. Being that kind, sensitive but strong yet compassionate leader. He couldbe the rock his wife needs, now that her father is gone. Perhaps an ispiration to her that she too could be more than she thought. Or so I'd love to imagine it.

Death And Taxes? Lol

He thought that Pitt was going to take Drew, too, as part of the revelation.

Hopkins is the best actor in the world in my book. His slight facial expressions always make his character more real and fleshed out.

What’s the difference?

He is such a great actor. His timing was perfect

The way he took time to comprehend the trick.. that’s very real considering it’s not something he planned.

I think that Joe communicated nonverbally a bit of who he was and what he could do.

He probably was talking about Hell.

That would be hell

@@ron-om9cf He was death, not the devil. He would just keep him in cold storage, in a (likely dark) room with no doors.

@@ron-om9cf He Sure AF wasn't referring to Heaven lol

LMAO, that was hilarious. Not sure how many people are going to get it, but i appreciated it.

I understood that reference 😁

Brilliant! 👏🏻

Underrated Comment

Touche!

i did NOT except this abbaha

A. What?

Dayna Goodchild I agree. It’s a great film

Underrated film. Great actors both Academy Award winners Pitt and Hopkins.

One of my favourite movies, ever.

Before this scene, Bill was voted out of his company, it makes sense that none were invited as all but one voted against him.

@@jamesg8868 I don't understand why the man who did vote no and stood up for Bill didn't attend. It was necessary for the scene to play out for entire board to be on the phone without Drew's knowledge but it really didn't make sense.

After Bill got voted out, the board member who voted “no”, Eddie, implied that he is not attending as he thinks the situation can be turned around, and that he was going to stay and try.

Teleconference. They could be anywhere. Car, other room, home...

He's not just a pretty face

First thought he was merely a pretty face, but soon changed my mind. What I like about him is you can tell he loves pretty much every role he plays. Guy loves his job.

He actually such a great actor

I never liked his looks but his acting blows me away

I must be the only girl who finds nothing manly or hot about him at all. Not sexy at all. Robert Deniro in Godfather II.....now that's a sexy man

Death seems a lot more fair.

There are things worse than Death... 8P

You know what Ben Franklin said, after all... Nothing in life is certain except for Death and taxes. So it fits hand in hand when you look at it from that perspective ;)

That face of an angel 😇. I’m in love with Aleatha

worse. not days, not month, not years, but millennia in a room with no doors. hell yeah, that works.

He is Death.

@@aleksisshepherd7831 r/woooosh

And taxes ha ha ha. Ok I'm leaving

@@shiningsimp you wooshed your self. Hes joking

What makes this comment better is the likes.

A successful guy like him would be very adaptable.

Hopkins uncanny acting that makes it look as if naturally reacting so

I love the use of Anything Goes for the music. Death was winging the whole IRS thing throughout the scene. Really fits in.

When you just stopped by to say hello, and now you have to talk to her dad because she was happy☺️

@@TK4541 THANK YOU!!! I was looking for the name of the background music (it doesn’t appear on the official soundtrack).

@@FengQingista i cant find that motive theme(the 10 sek after Joe says he will get a promotion for this job) from the movie even in anything goes theme

Joe...No...What...Huh...Bill...the music stopped...started at exactly the right time...PERFECT!

and they the posture the did : both sitting on the desk, and crossed their armed looks like a pair of good partners or a pair of great dad and son

They had such great chemistry in legends of the fall, and pulled it out of the kitchen drawer and reshaped it for this.

Bill was so noble that he did not want Death to take Drew's life, which is what he thought was going to happen. A wonderful character.

Agreed. I love everything about this movie.

Very good, someone noticed it too. That's why he's one of the greatest actors of all time in my opinion.

@@mastermindedmind on mine too!!

They always are throughout the movie!

It's a great movie. 3 hours go by fast. Keeps you entertained

It sure has its moments. Just needed a little more editing to be truly great.

@@Diamonddogusa No it was absolutely perfect. Claire Forlani and Brad Pitt in their prime, why would you wanna edit that?

this my favorite brad pitt movie ever.

440000000/1

And that's all you got out of it?

Worth it

It worth definitely

That’s what you call great foreshadowing.

it was three hours actually hahah

Jake Branthe hell

Berzerk and the band of the hawks I think oblivion is more fitting, it's implying that he'll send Drew to a place where he will roam forever. (Can also be hell if you want to)

q hermoso

@@Lairdriver: May I please invite you to read "Dialogues with the Devil" by Taylor Caldwell, if you can get it in print, or on the Internet. Hell has quite a different description, and so does the so-called Devil.

@@JBrander thank you dude i swear i would have never thought to see a bezerk reference here

Death is fairer than Taxes.

I mean let's be real, Joker would scuffle with Batman any day of the week, but even he won't face the IRS.

Probably not in Hopkins' case. His process is to devour a script and read it over and over until he gets everything right, the words, mannerisms, expressions, everything. He does add his own touches and improvisations to his roles, but not on the spot like that.

negative It is the niveau of acting skill that makes him look as if truly surprised by a change in the script, and as if such piece was really an easy and 100% natural reaction

@@johnbull1568 I got a hold of the original script... In it, Joe was meant to almost reveal himself as death, when Bill interjects with "he's an agent of the IRS" so it is quite plausible that the script was changed without Hopkins' knowledge, albeit for an actor of his calibre, it wouldn't have been too difficult to pull off such a nuanced 'surprised' expression

I can only image how delighted Death was when he got to show up for Drew in the future.

Chris Weidner Uh, decent. One of the best of all time? Not even close.

GREAT film, great music! I don't just watch films, I STUDY films. Obviously some people don't have the depth to go this deep. If you can't or don't appreciate this film you can always go back to watching Rambo, or Independence Day or something else that requires little or no thought on your part to understand... something entertaining without the effort to have to process what you're watching would seem to be more up your alley!

@@robione5627 I can name about 500 better than this one. It's good but c'mon

not necessarily in that order!

Haha death IN taxes

Only 2 things are guaranteed in this life

Exactly what I was thinking as well ;)

.... The only guarantees in life.

And Jake Weber acts excellently too hece

That's my story too brother!!

Don’t call yourself a pitty, so cringey

me too

He threatened worse than that. :)

wingmanalive agreed dude. Those two shoulda made a few more movies together.

Claire forlani should have broken out after this

wingmanalive AGREED #MAGA

carlos cameron wtf does Fat Donny have to do with this film?? Goddamn you’re stupid....

Me Too Every Time.. if you have a heart you will cry///.

All of the main cast had such wonderful expressions in this movie, such precise, translatable nuance!

Yeah I agree I've been looking for this clip for ages, thank you

Wait until I am done with him ...... !!!!

Never seen the film, huh?

Are you sure you’re not ? Because I see you post this in near every clip of Brad Pitt.

@@justinv6410 are you sure YOU'RE not? You obviously visited those same videos lol.

@@OnceShy_TwiceBitten viewing clips is the same as capslocking "absolutely gorgeous" in every clip ? More importantly, why do you feel the need to lamely White Knight some anonymous stranger on the internet ? Are you, perchance, gay yourself ? Not that there’s anything wrong with that !

Si, correcto

@@justinv6410 If a women were talking about how gorgeous a female actress was would you be saying this, I think not.

(i just watched it on netflix and it was exactly like this) so it was not like this when the film came out?

Brandon Sergent A movie set in Hell?

Yes, this universe's conception of it. How could such a place exist, why, and what is its nature.

Savage _Tv I do believe he was talking about hell

He really sells the scene actually. His reactions are spot on at each moment.

Brandon Sergent you seem like an intellectual. Have you ever read Dante's Inferno?

🤣🤣🤣😜😜
