The elderly lady in the wheel chair…superb acting. A true Jamaican theater & screen actress. RIP Queen.

[eros-alatus]

The actress who played the lady was Lois Kelly Miller. She lived to be 102!

This is a scene I used to show in my drama class. In a space of two minutes, the old Jamaican lady exhibits a vast degree of emotions and dispositions. She shows fear, then apprehension, followed by curiosity, then pain, then yearning, and lastly, contentedness. She underplays her delivery with hardly a hand gesture and all in the confines of a wheelchair, yet her performance is so powerful. Her delivery is flawless. Props to director, Martin Brest in allowing the actors to take their time in their delivery and allowing the scene to breathe. The perfect musical cue of strings coming followed with the piano tinkle delivered with pinpoint accuracy to accentuate what is already a very powerful moment. All of these things are what makes this scene the best scene in the movie.

The effort Pitt went through to make this scene accurate and flawless is impressive. The old lady was fantastic too. This scene is the best one in the entire movie.

For those who don't know. This is a remake of death takes a holiday. In my opinion, this is better than the original.

[JoannCaporaletti-lx]

One of my very favorite movies. Brad Pitt as Death that comes for Anthony Hopkins and decides to stay a while in the body of Brad Pitt. Great story great acting. Should have been an award winner!

[irmulc]

This scene made Brad Pitt my favorite actor of all time. He speaks better patios than most actors.

[Otterman-rmbk]

I miss films like these. The score compliments the emotions of the scene perfectly. The acting is flawless and believable. That is the Hollywood magic that is missing from todays "modern" movies.

[kimberlycorliss]

The woman playing the older lady in the wheelchair is an amazing actor.

[PamArtsValentine]

This is the film that made me realize that Brad was one of the greatest actors on the planet & much more than just a pretty boy. I became a devoted Brad Pitt fan & this movie is a treasure!

[schaferhundschmidt]

This scene brings me to tears every time. Tears of joy. In conveying the essence of the moment, the acting in this scene is brilliant.

[lynnbailham]

The scene where he is intimate with Anthony Hopkins' daughter is incredle. The way death experiences this very intimate human act for the first time, his facial expressions, etc, show Brad Pitt at his best. A true tour de force and he is so beautiful in this film. One of my all-time favourite films and very underrated.

I’m not even someone who believes in an “afterlife”, but the way her face melts and smiles and looks so relieved- it just sends warm shivers through me. It’s such good acting. I hadn’t seen the whole movie before I saw this scene and loved it.

[kimberlycole]

One of my favorite Brad Pitt movies. Him playing the angel of death. Showing that death should not be feared. Just a natural conclusion of life

[wolfovodin]

Ive always been dead straight my entire life, from a child to now a grown man, but good lord that is a beautiful man.

[hippy]

A very perceptive old woman there. Spotted him right off the bat

[sharkdentures]

I like the touch of him initially refusing, then looking at the Doctor whom he was somewhat enamored with, and it drew out his compassion for the dying woman.
Not enough to "break the rules" per se, but enough to give her strength & hope by showing her what she will soon be experiencing.

[clydekaila]

She is a masterclass of an actress..truly..

[zillafanz]

Easy to forget amid the drama what a talented actor Pitt was.

[perfesser]

The two scenes with this great Jamaican lady and the ending lift this film from being a B movie snorefest to being a great piece of art.
