CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) gives his 65th birthday speech and breaks precedent by telling the crowd his one candle wish.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The cycle of life on Earth hangs in the balance when Death becomes emotionally involved in this romantic fantasy. William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins) is a tremendously wealthy and powerful man who oversees a worldwide multi-media empire. Despite the loss of his wife, whom he dearly loved, William is content with his life, and he's very close to his two daughters, Allison (Marcia Gay Harden) and Susan (Claire Forlaini). One night, as William is fighting a hostile takeover of his company and Allison is planning an elaborate party to celebrate her dad's 65th birthday, William begins displaying the symptoms of a severe heart attack, and he is visited by a mysterious stranger, Joe Black (Brad Pitt). Joe is actually the angel of death, who has taken the form of a man who recently passed on to pay William a call. It seems that William is due to move on to the next world, but (no great surprise) he doesn't want to go. Joe, on the other hand, is curious to know what life is like for mere mortals, so the two men strike a deal -- William will have some time to get his affairs in order, and Joe will wait and see what it's like to be a human being. Joe decides that he likes it very much when he falls in love with Susan, but negotiating the slippery slopes of romance is no easier for Joe than for any ordinary man. Meet Joe Black is an updated version of Alberto Casella's play Death Takes a Holiday, which was adapted for the screen in 1934.

Few actors would have the guts to take such a long pause before the final line, but what a great build up he gives it with his contemplative, melancholic look and lowering of the voice when he finally does say, "65 years. Don't they go by in a blink?" What an excellent actor.
The best.
This movie is so epic every quote every scene is about life.
💯
Anthony Hopkins performance alone made this a worthwhile movie to see.
"65 years.
Don't they go by in a blink?"
Great expression.
+wrong they go one second at a time. 65 years is a looooong period of time. people think wrongly they are immortal.
If it seems to go in a blink that means you are always rush rush never stopping to take time to truly appreciate and reflect. 36 years I am and it seems to go buy so slow when you see the constant cycle.
Guy Incognito Wait until you have kids.
The impact of those thoughts has only been amplified over the past nineteen years.
I just watched this movie and thought the same. Time is relative, Einstein discovered it later. Time can lasts forever or not. Our memories, in it’s totality , doesn’t endure itself throughout time. Greetings, Nerwik.
"That you would have a life as lucky as mine. Where you can wake up one morning and say, "I don't want anything more."
And to think, this whole thing was improvised. Anthony Hopkins is one of the greatest actors out there in my opinion, he improvises in every movie he does, and you can't even tell.
Has to be an excellent film to present the concept of death as capable of being so peaceful and serene. Beautiful film, so unusual yet so brilliant.
Anthony Hopkins is living legend. Amazing movie changed my life that I want to fight for when I wake up one morning and say to myself "I don't want anything more"
Same
Oh my god. This movie changed me. So much. Wow. Such a beautiful message.
"And I'm going to ... tell you my one candle wish: that you would have a life as lucky as mine, where you can wake up one morning and say, "I don't want anything more.""
Amen, brother!!!
pure class, charming speech and charming person
…”where you can wake up one morning and say, I don’t want anything more.” What a line, for us all.
0:55 that emphasis on "lucky" and the body language.. what an actor.
65 years don’t they go by in a blink,magnificent.
I hope one day to say a speech like this..simple, short, but very powerful
amazing movie... amazing scene... amazing acting all around and not one oscar nomination... what a shame noone understands the importance of acting any more... this was a great film.
Best....Birthday.....Speech.....Ever!
Robert Bell
I have terminal cancer and I don't have much time... my faith walks me through that door. Should I be afraid? I am...
I’m sorry for what you’re going through. It’s normal to be afraid, we all are too. But death is a part of us from the moment we are born, don’t be afraid, enjoy your days and welcome her with open arms when the time comes. Who knows what your next adventure will hold or whose life you’ll change. Sending you a big hug & hope that you are still in the fight! ♥️🙏🏻
Classy and beautiful story. Great actors!
How awesome is Anthony Hopkins
"65 years. Don't they go by in a blink." Uhg. A great example of how less is often more, in writing. No need to for a long speech or over the top telegraphing of what Hopkins' character is feeling and thinking. One line with a faraway look sums it all up. A really terrific movie. Reminds me of a great meme I once saw, of a guy sitting on a very narrow ledge of a cliff a couple of thousand feet up...."Death whispers in my ear...live now, for I am coming."
Anthony Hopkins is the greatest living actor.
There are few people that have the privilege to know when they will die, and say good bye.. Mostly this people ve had a happy life.. I remember when my grand pa said turn off the light son it s time to say good bye .. and I said t him are you kidding me granpa ..have a good night.. and the next day he was gone..
just beautiful movie i watch this one alomost 200 time great anthony hopkin
I’m 32 and a half...half of his 65 years. It is a blink. It’s far too easy to let life pass by unnoticed.
One of the best romantic movie of all time..
From a romantic point of view it's dull. But as a movie about life and death it's
exellent.
Love this speech. Saving for my 65th birthday speech.
I expected him to put on a ring and disappear
Lol. LOTR.
A party to remember and knowing your leaving, to know that this is your departure? I've always thought about what my departure would be like? For real tho...
i adore anthony hopkins very much.
One of the best scenes
He got to say goodbye.... what a blessing... I hope I gat that chance
When I get to 50 I will throw a party like that is absolutely amazing!
his speech is just what I needed to hear!
when you can wake up one morning and say I don't want anything more....
Meet Joe Black (1998) moves at its own pace being (perhaps) overly long but I have never minded that one bit. Here we have Bill's birthday speech which is cinematically splendid. Then, among other moments, there is the precisely-clipped berating of Drew by Joe in Bill's home office.
Especially as I'm within shouting distance, now, of Bill's age (as ably portrayed by Anthony Hopkins) the themes of Meet Joe Black sound as a clarion call from yet a bit of a distance.
wonderful movie. Brad Pitt , understated and otherworldly... and at his most handsome, his amazing eyes would make anyone die happy. Anthony Hopkins is the consummate actor, brilliant in any and every role. Faultless settings and costuming, such an affecting and moving film
one of the great movie of last century great writer great cast and great lucky viewer thanks everyone
this movie is such a beautiful movie,nice story,nice actors,this is really great movie.and this scene is amazing.
Absolutely amazing movie with an incredible soundtrack.
Pure class ❤❤❤❤
GOD BLESS... IF WE ALL COULD HAVE THAT CHANCE TO SPEAK....TEARS GEMMA
When a man can say say what he has just said then their is olny 2 words to describe it and that is NO REGRETS
Yes it does go by in a blink!
It's my favorite movie...so sad

stop sucking up to everything black.
inspiring!
And...I cry
"65 years. Don't they go by in a blink?" 😞
Love it
The best movie❤
That is one of the most beautiful,heartfelt speeches ever. Not many words but so much meaning in so many different ways!! I remember when I gave birth to my 2 now grown up sons, it is true you close your eyes and time just goes by without many words! I wish everyone health and a very happy life and may our Lord Jesus Christ bless you in all the ways he can! Luv LA 🌷💕🇨🇦🌏👩👦👦👨👦👦👨👨👧👩👩👧👨👩👧👦🐕🦺🙏 2021 How many other people are up at 4am looking at you tube videos? (lol !)
Chills
Great dialogue + great actor = superb.
He never got to spoil his grandkids, his own kids were too busy being his kids
"Sixty-five years... Don't they go by in a blink?" ... *blinks*
What will be will be and that's all it will be :)
This was filmed at Aldrich Mansion in Warwick Rhode Island. I have stood on those steps. I remember the neighbors got really mad when they were filming, because they were setting off fireworks at like 3 in the morning.
Life as lucky as mine - I don't want anything more. So close humanity was to a society where every need was available. And we let it slip by for a life of inextinguishable petty wants. Are we the lucky ones?
This speech influenced me to not go through with an operation
RIP
"65 years..
Don't they go back in a blink?"
:(
I was expecting Dolores to shoot him in the back of the head

How brief. When I gave my birthday party speech I was talking non-stop for at least 45 minutes.
That's because you have too much to say but nothing to tell.
Veryyyy!
There’s a scene where Anthony Hopkins is fed up with death/ brad Pitt and he tells him off. Death doesn’t like it because he knows Anthony Hopkins is right. I love that scene because it proves there’s always something to learn no matter who or what you are
An episode of 1/2 minute. worth watching
Thank u cleveland, good night!
Me today realizing how blessed I actually am. ✝️💯🙏🏻👏
❤️
Thanks my favourite actor Antony Hopkins I found out this movie, and thanks this movie I found out also who is Brad Pitt, my favourite actor too :) this is one of the biggiest movies :) such a strong idea :)
💝♥️♥️♥️💝
Dios quiera....
que en algun momento de mi vida,
pueda decir lo mismo....
que pueda despedirme de este mundo...
sabiendo que he sido "El Hombre justo"
Dios quiera...
callate tonto
👏
Angels carnate the physical world all the time.
lol
That makes no sense. Look up the word carnate.
Carly Fiorini was also superb.
wish every1 world cod say that instead of rich r elite we all deserve that all 7 billion of us
I dont want anything more...............
Bill's Birthday (Death) Speech.
I was going to incorporate this speech in with some of my own words for My soon to be wife's and mine's weeding soon for my speech. It is a Meet Joe Black wedding theme so I thought that would be nice. Any thoughts anyone who loves this movie, the music, or whatever? I'm not trying to plagiarize, but his words are so perfect😭😭
Hello ! Excuse me but do you have 65 ? Lol. Probably some of the speech is appliable to a wedding night but ... Another part of it you definitely need to transform ! I would keep the first part maybe, but if you are marrying maybe it is because you want something more ? Like taking care for each other showing that you really care in the small and big things, creating a new life together ... ? Don't you have plans ? I mean do you want to marry because you are dying or because you want to live a long life together with your bride ?? I wish you a good life. Enjoy your time together.
Prince phillip can happily say this

When your are on your deathbed and you see the angel of death only then will you realise that everything that you have done, all the money and the glanour you gained, all the fame, all the sleepless nights, all the tasty food, all the beautiful women and men you looked at, all your relationships, all your children will be of no use. In that moment the only thing that will count is your deeds. As you despair and agonise for another breath. crying and desperately hoping for another year, another month, another week another day another hour, another minute, another second.
NO!
Your time is up, you have done what you have done and achieved whatever you have achieved. Now judgement begins.
Today is my 111th birthday, and I have an ANNOUNCEMENT
@Galandriel89 I know its a completely different movie but the end of Act of Valor is just as powerful as this and has the same message. In a letter, one navy seal quotes a poem written by the Indian chief Tecumseh "When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." Perfect.
So this was Odin now i see
65 doesn’t seem that old
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this movie.

One of my guilty pleasure movies. It's not very good, but Anthony Hopkins is fantastic. He totally shows Brad Pitt up as the utterly useless actor he is.
2012 was not your year...
