A Mighty Heart

I rarely go to movies in the theater nowadays. We buy used DVDs from Hollywood video and watch at home. So going to see A Mighty Heart was a treat for me.

Angelina Jolie absolutely disappears into her role and does a fantastic job. The supporting actors are all realistic and do not hit a false note. You feel you are in Pakistan, you have the sensation of the street, the crowded population, the seething poverty, the anger just below the surface. Pearl's death is done discreetly but with impact. The Pakistani police are portrayed excellently well.

You come away understanding the area and the events just a bit more clearly. A hard movie to take but a movie well done and well worth your time.

Angelina Jolie in Darfur

Pictures of her visit by QuakerDave at Daily Darfur.

Remember why she is there, she's a humanitarian ambassador for the United Nations. She brings the press to places of great horror and need that are otherwise being ignored. Thank you Angelina!
