Angelina Jolie @ The Daily Show

JOLIE: He’s such a great man. And so it was very — he’s very easy to enjoy and spend time and look up to and have — so we had very easy scenes together.

The one thing I have learned in my life is that a relationship is not about having fun together, it’s not about hiding behind each other and trying to protect each other, but it’s about having a shared view of what you want to create and what you want to do in this world — how you want to raise your family or, if you have a bigger purpose together. And Danny and Mariane had that.

And I’ve, certainly in my life, come to a place of knowing that that is what I need to have. I need to — I need to feel strongly with Brad about how we raise our children, about what we think is right and wrong in the world, what we think is worth fighting for and what is morally, you know, the correct thing.

And if you have that same view, then you can go through anything. And then when you die one day, you look back at your life and you went on this — the right journey together and the same journey.

I love this part. Much love to Angie, Brad and their family.

I think in one of her interviews Angie said they aree interested in training some kids, they are not actually going to adopt all of them.

Observations on “The Assassination of Jesse James”
By EdwardHavens
June 14th, 2007

It’s a long review so I’m going to include just excerpts:

Part I
It would be unfair, as someone who proclaims himself to be a professional movie critic, to review an unfinished movie, especially being aware the cut I saw was one at least three being tested, and from all indication the shortest of the various cuts. Thus, I offer these comments about a film that had been riding high on my radar since it was first announced, and one that, even in this possibly truncated version (if one can indeed call a 140 minute film “truncated”), will likely be atop my personal list of The Best Films of the Year when it is released.

Part II
The name above the title might belong to Brad Pitt, and he does turn in the best performance of his career since “12 Monkeys,” but this is not his film. Remember, the full title of the film includes a second character, and it is Casey Affleck, as Robert Ford, who owns the screen by the time the film is over. His performance is so exceptional and so finely nuanced, many will start to think of Ben second when they think of an acting Affleck. While flashes of brilliance have been seen in Casey’s performances to date, nothing will prepare you for the powerhouse tour-de-force he gives here. Far too long, he’s been hindered with the “Ben’s brother” mark, and its about time he had the chance to smash that discourteous title. We have yet to see Ben pull of this kind of layered, nuanced performance. There are also exceptional performances from Sam Rockwell, Sam Shepard (in an all-too-brief appearance as Frank James), Paul Schneider and Mary-Louise Parker as Jesse’s wife Zerelda, practically the only female in the film.

Part III
”The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” doesn’t try to reinvent the western, so much as bring back to the same kind of timelessness which have made “The Searchers” or “The Wild Bunch” or the westerns of Clint Eastwood favorites for generations. Twenty years on, “Young Guns” feels like even more like the tired ‘80s movie we knew it was when it was first released. Twenty years from now, this film will not be a victim of its time. It will be still be watched and benefit from the attempt to not chase what is hip or hot today.

Part IV
No matter what shape the final film takes, I suspect it will be the best film the genre has seen since the days of Leone and Peckinpah. Yes, “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” is better than “Unforgiven.” Better than “Dances with Wolves.” Better than “Silverado” or “Wyatt Earp” or any other Western in the past thirty years. I cannot wait to see it again for the first time.

The Western is back. Don’t blow it again, Hollywood.

Wendy are you an adulterer? It seems you know so much about adultery. I think you speaking from your own experience.

Did you come here to save everyone from the big bad Jolie Pitts? They are just people trying to do the best they can. Some of the dislike I read from their critics is laughable LMAO.

Missouri Fan…Are you pinay ? I watched lkl twice already. It was very good interview and it was worth watching.

Only thing I have to say is this. May God judge you the same way you judge others. :)

Comparing Angelina and Brad to kids like Lindsay, Paris and Britney is absurd. Apples and oranges - sorry you’re so wrong.

Thank you to those who did the live blogging and the posting of the transcript to Angie’s interview with Larry King. It was a beautiful interview. He stayed right on the topic and asked great questions. And Angie was so articulate. You could really sense how passionate with her mission and her ideals. I really loved what she said about Brad. I have a feeling that I will be watching and reading this interview many many times.

The more read about Angie’s interview, the more respect i have for this woman. she is outstanding, extradinary. she should run for president.

Angelina Jolie is a woman of substance. She is admired all over the world.

You Americans should be proud that at least there is one American that is admired the world over. And now a days, it is rare for an American to be loved.

Why is it that someone so mean is so admired? It’s bizarre. In real life if someone was as mean as Angelina they’d have no friends and certainly would not be adored my flocks of people.
