Angelina Jolie at the Berlin Film Festival: “I have a real view of the real world”
Yesterday, we learned that Angelina Jolie and the kids are in Berlin. In addition to taking the kids to Legoland and making a “quiet visit” to the Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe, Angelina is premiering In The Land of Blood and Honey at the Berlin Film Festival today – these are some pics from the photo call. I dislike her dress. It’s not sack-y enough to be an official “Jolie Sack” but it’s not fitted enough to be flattering. Basically, it’s just a kind of ugly dress with a bad fit.
Yesterday, Angelina met with Germany’s foreign minister to discuss UNHCR business – we don’t have those photos, but you can see them here. Jolie wore all-white, like an ANGEL! Blah. That coat look medical too – like she’s been working in her laboratory, right? Angelina also has a new interview that is getting a lot of play for whatever reason – here’s the video:
She talks about how she finds “balance” between her Hollywood life and her “real” life. I understand what she’s saying here, and I’m totally a fan (you know I am)… but she’s coming across as a little bit sanctimonious when she says stuff like:
“Without the balance of doing things that actually matter in the world — and being part of the real world — then I would have been left in a bubble. That would have felt very empty and I probably would have just had a very shallow, horrible life. [I feel fortunate to be] welcomed into areas of the world where I see people and work with people who are survivors of war. I have a real view of the real world. I’m very touched and very moved by people and what they overcome. They have always reminded me to just wake up in the morning and be grateful that your children are healthy. Nothing else matters.”

Yes, I understand. I get that she’s changed and this is her journey and she’s a better person now. But enough about how “shallow” and “horrible” her life would be without her “real work,” you know? It just seems like she’s judging other people for not living her kind of “real” life.
I’m including some photos of Angelina with the cast, including Goran Kostic (who still looks like a meth-y Daniel Craig to me) and Zana Marjanovic (who is so pretty). Angelina’s legs do not look good here, especially compared to Zana’s. I wish I had the skinny-legs gene.
