Awww, that’s too sweet. So freaking cool. I hope The Changeling will be another great movie that brings Angie, Amy Adamns, and the rest of the gang award nominations next year. She’s a really good actress. :)

#162: Not as personal as you trolls. At least I don’t live vicariously through a TV hack who’s won the lottery by landing Brad Pitt. I don’t role play or fantasize like you guys that he is my man who was stolen from me by some devious woman.

When you guys are slapped in the face with reality, you cry foul. Wuss! Don’t dish it out if you can’t take blowback.

She is not even in the race to win this, but it was a nice film. Keira and Julie are the ones who are battling it out.

neer @ 12/13/2007 at 12:08 pm I remember reading from a column of Ruben Napales, who watched AMH at Cannes, to quote him ( from Philippine Daily Inquirer dated 5/25/07:

“…After the last of the closing credits rolled & the lights went back on, a packed audience gave a standing ovation to Angelina…& the key talents of the film. Angelina might have had a very strong shot at being Cannes Best Actress but since the film is entered out of competition, she is not eligible.”

Majority of the critics really praised her performance.

To quote a Washington Post staff writer named Ann Hornaday:

“…Jolie is a star of such super-stratospheric proportions that the chances of her disappearing into a character role would seem slim at best. But it turns out that she is the perfect choice to play Mariane, not only because she delivers a restrained, understated performance but because her persona as a citizen of the world — as a U.N. representative, activist and mother — so seamlessly meshes with the global consciousness that the Pearls represent. She blends just as seamlessly with “A Mighty Heart’s” fine ensemble of supporting actors, including Panjabi and Will Patton as U.S. consul Randall Bennett.(Mariane’s quietly appalled gaze as Bennett extols the virtues of Pakistan’s notorious interrogation methods is a moment of physical eloquence typical of Jolie’s astute, vanity-free performance.)

Other reviews:

“..The most flattering thing to say about Jolie’s performance is that for the most part, you forget that it’s her. She underplays her megawatt charisma and channels it into a measured performance. She’s mesmerising as she plays Mariane with a dignified calm, even in the face of potentially overwhelming tragedy. Her accent is excellent, replete with mispronunciations and stumbling.”–Zane Henry (11/2/07)

“Jolie blends in beautifully with a large cast. She sports a tricky accent worthy of Meryl Streep, but this is not even remotely a showy role. But few will forget her anguished cry of pain when the terrible truth that Daniel had been beheaded was broadcast over the Internet to the entire world. Beautifully, that same cry of pain is echoed a few minutes later, when Mariane is seen giving birth.
- Michael Giltz ,The Avvocate.com - May 22,2007

“Dramatically, it contains the most impressive performance of Angelina Jolie’s career. she is electric in the part.”
-James Christopher, The Times OnLine – May 24,2007

“Pitt’s partner Angelina Jolie won rave reviews for “A Mighty Heart”, in which she plays the widow of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was decapitated by Islamic extremists in Pakistan in 2002.”
– Deborah Cole, AFP About France 24-27/05/07

“Jolie’s portrayal of Pearl — who was six months pregnant when her husband was abducted — has been the subject of some controversy due to some mild cosmetic elements — her hair is curlier, her skin slightly darkened to convey the real Mariane Pearl’s Cuban-French heritage — but there’s nothing insensitive or overdone in the mild make-up artistry of the part; the inner performance is what shines out.
- James Rocchi,Cannes Review: A Mighty Heart - May 22nd 2007

“Jolie has a powerful scene in which she lets out a shriek of grief that will be recognized wherever people suffer from terror and loss.”
- By Ray Bennett ,The Hollywood Reporter - May 22, 2007

“Angelina Jolie’s portrayal of Mariane Pearl was very impressive.
I was moved by her performance an incredibly tear jerking and striking moment was Mariane’s reaction in the scene where she received the fateful news. Jolie’s characterization was so powerful and resonant it continued to linger in my mind long after the film’s end.”
- by: Jenny Karakaya, Joblo.com –

“In easily her finest performance, Jolie the pop-culture figure loses herself inside the role of Pearl.”
- Dave Mcoy,MSN Movies

“As Marianne,Angelina Jolie renders an admirably understated,Oscar-calibre performance.”
“she lets one of the most anguished shrieks you’re like to hear this year in American film.”
-EMANUEL LEVY- Film Review

“If Angelina Jolie doesn’t win an award for her portrayal of Mariane Pearl in “A Mighty Heat,” I will be shocked.
The movie was emotionally draining, especially the part where she is told about Daniel’s death. Jolie’s reaction had many in tears and is probably the best performance of her career.”
- SANDY TOMCHO , Times Herald Record -June 1,2007

“Angelina is fantastic as Mariane Pearl, transforming not just her physical appearance but her entire persona.”
-LEXI FEINBERG, Cinema Blend Review June 2,2007

THANK YOU. I knew that I had read some really great reviews about Angie in AMH. But then I guess these people don’t know what they’re talking about either. :roll: Or wait, she just got nominated because IT WAS A WEAK YEAR. :roll: Yeah, weak year my foot.

Brad was just on Fox News. He had his newsboy cap on. It was a good interview. He discussed the same stuff we have heard before. At one point she accidently refereed to his wife and kids and then corrected herself and said that Angelina is his girlfriend. Brad said it is all the same so to me he is clear that he sees her as his spouse whether they are married or not.

Also as I mentioned before Angelina has been quietly filming away without having to deal with the stalkerazzi on set.

========================================

Amy Ryan seems like she has loads of talent. She is kicking Cate’s butt in these critics awards. I wouldn’t be surprised if she took the big O when it’s all said and done. She did theatre before film/movies right? Maybe that has helped to fine tune and perfect her acting to some degree?

can’t undersand Angelina non!ok she is beautiful, sexy, good person, but she is not an actress!!!!!almost hursts me seeing her with the Great Blamchett!

julia @ 12/13/2007 at 12:23 pm Hey Thanks for the heads up on the fox interview with Brad.. It was so sweet.. He truly glowed this Morning.. So Handsome and well informed and escited for this Project..

It was so funny the girl said the one question all the women wanted to ask besides asking you out on a date, which we know is impossible Because You have that goreous Wife and those adorable children… Than She said I’m sorry I know She’s Your Girlfriend Not Wife and Brad Said “Awww Its all the Same” !!!
