Angelina Jolie has opened up about healing, trauma and finding her strength again while discussing her recent films, with some of her comments drawing attention to her difficult divorce from Brad Pitt .
Jolie speaks about her film and its message
She is basically dropping a huge hint it is about her healing after her split from Brad. Her new film is a story about surviving trauma and searching for answers, so there is naturally going to be speculation that some of Angelina’s own healing is reflected in it. The book discusses how we often ‘return to where we break. That’s true for almost anyone. No one knows what someone else has gone through. To sit and talk with openness and honesty, is a beginning. Jolie also praised Salma Hayek’s performance in the film, saying, “It’s a very challenging piece for actors who had to be very brave and emotionally open. Knowing her well helped to direct her but there was so much about her as a woman and a performer I was surprised by still and so impressed. Angelina has a lot in common with the character. She’s also a director and she has been through this – not cancer but everyone knows her story. So I felt like it’s for her.”
Angelina Jolie has dropped what insiders see as a big hint that her deeply personal new film, about “healing after trauma,” reflects her own recovery from the painful aftermath of her relationship with Brad Pitt , as per Radar Online. The 51-year-old Oscar winner wrote and directed “Without Blood,” a war drama starring Salma Hayek and Demian Bichir, based on Alessandro Baricco’s novel of the same name. As per Radar Online, Jolie has said that her film is for people seeking “answers and healing after trauma,” themes that insiders say come after years of highly publicized legal and family battles following the breakdown of her marriage to Pitt, 62. A source familiar with Jolie’s work told Radar Online, “Angelina hasn’t explicitly said this film is about Brad, but when she talks about trauma, healing and returning to the place where you broke, it is impossible for people close to the situation not to see parallels with what she has lived through. Speaking about who she believes will connect with the film, Jolie said, “The film is for anyone who seeks answers and healing after trauma. As per Variety , Jolie’s personal journey has also been echoed in another of her projects, “Couture,” in which she plays Maxine, a low-budget horror movie director juggling a fashion film commission and single motherhood during a divorce, when she receives a breast cancer diagnosis. Writer-director Alice Winocour said she wrote the film with Jolie in mind, saying, “I needed someone special, someone that would have a special connection with the story.
Her experiences have inevitably shaped the person and filmmaker she is today.
