I don’t follow that world much either except when a film comes out of Hollywood that is patriotic (which is rare). Angelina’s first film as a director was ‘Unbroken’ and it was extremely controversial in Hollywood.
It was politically incorrect.
The Hollywood news media descended on her and so it caught my eye and interest to see what kind of person she was.
Many in the press tried to blame her agreeing to direct the film and to carry its production as influenced by her conservative father. So the subject came up as to the state of her relationship with her father. She let it be known that she loved her father very much.
I would imagine that the Hollywood press had for years downplayed her relationship with her father because she was a Hollywood favorite, she was engaged and later married to Pitt and she was winning lots of awards. From Hollywood’s point of view. I imagine the only negative thing on her cinematic and personal history was that she was the daughter to this ‘conservative’ actor. So the solution was to describe her as on the outs with her father.That way, Hollywood could accept her as one of their own. That’s the way I see it.
Hollywood is full of such sleaze. There’s so so much vanity in it that it logically follows that it would attract people with the worst kind of morals.
Fascinating, thanks!
