You might consider sitting back and contemplating the bigger picture.

Because you’re posting on a premier conservative forum that goes back decades and has an illustrious history at affecting so much of America’s politics (and that is not at all hyperbole e.g. forcing compliance with transparency of FL hand counting of votes in Gore-Bush 2000, and so many more), then I will assume you are conservative-minded and want to see conservative values not only continue but thrive for current and future generations.

You will then accept without hesitation that Hollywood is an enemy to America on many levels.

Jolie is a big part of Hollywood.

When she directed and brought funding to ‘Unbroken’, it was a big step out of her Hollywood mold and cinematic niche. The whole project was, perhaps unintentionally a throwback to a time when Hollywood catered to the patriotism of Americans, when movies were made that were expected to be Pro-America. Jolie directing that film was as disjoint an image of where she belonged as would be Woody Allen making a film faithful to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

But making a Pro-America politically incorrect film was not the only important part of what she did. Hollywood members would have cheered and smirked for weeks if Jolie’s film had failed at the box office. But how did her film perform at the box office?

Production budget: $65,000,000
Domestic box office: $115,637,895
Worldwide totals: $163,442,937

Jolie more than doubled the investor’s money. The film was a smashing success.

So we can bet liberals were extremely unhappy with that result.

What it showed investors is that the sleaze in Hollywood cannot perform but conservative films are a great investment.

So now take it in for a moment. How important is it to Americans, to American children and to future generations of Americans to have a film industry that plays up the values that made America so great?

I personally don’t think Jolie knew what she was getting herself into. I know the film is based on a true story and that the main protagonist was still alive when Jolie was approached to take over the project, and that she met the hero himself before he died and they really hit it off. So I tend to think it was Jolie’s feminine side that promised him to make this film of his life.

And who knows? The rumors are that those that were seeking a big Hollywood name to pick the project up knew that Jolie’s father Jon Voight had become quite conservative and, that this being a conservative story, had the people who wrote the script and who had tried but failed to get investment, had approached Voight who influenced his daughter to take it as her director debut.

Whether Jolie and her father were on the outs or not, she said in December 2014 on camera that she loved him very much. As for him not being invited to the wedding, that was likely Pitt’s people whispering that none of the Hollywood players would bother to show if ‘conservative’ Voight was there.

Keep in mind that the Hollywood press is as untruthful as the MSM is. Jolie was a big star and the Hollywood press just could not stand the fact that her actor father had become a conservative. Without damaging her star reputation, they likely exaggerated the estrangement between her and her father. Hollywood tabloids lie, lie, lie and believe their own lies.

So we can never be sure of anything the Hollywood tabloid trash throws at us. But one thing is certain, Angelina Jolie made a very successful Pro-America film in Hollywood and made a lot of money for the film’s investors. There’s no denying that.

You are attached to one movie she made as evidence of all that is great and holy within her. I don’t see it that way but I respect your long thought out post.

Trust me, I am well aware of what this board represents and additionally, I am very aware of what the crap in hollywood pours out and the effects it has on our culture. Anyone with children should be on top of that.

Maybe when Angi stops trying to meld the entire world into her one world view, I’ll stop and take note of what she has to share.
