I have just seen the film and Jolie plays the role with so much heart and conviction it is hard to separate her from the true Pearl. In my opinion Mariane and her story were done poetic justice, thanks largely to Jolie’s excellent casting. The idea of Aniston playing such an important role is laughable, sure shes good in comedy, but true acting? Maybe she should find a day job.

wow! amazing how many DUMB people there are out there. it appalls me to think that this many people read this fictional story and believed it all. it’s no wonder the world is in the awful state that it’s in. nobody pays any attention to facts!

as for the movie, i’ve seen it a couple of times now and i think angeline did a wonderful job of portraying mrs. pearl. she gave a good insight into the tragic and horrific story of daniel pearl’s last days. as for the people saying that she shouldn’t play her because she’s not cuban…get real. she was a mix of nationalities and she wasn’t black. have any of you actually seen mariane pearl??? i think angelina jolie looks much more like her than “Halle Berry or Thandie Newton” do.

i also happen to think this fictitious story is disgusting in the first place. it’s totally twisted a true story of a women with courage and strength in order to poke fun at a hollywood couple.

First, I hope you watched A Mighty Heart and second I hope by now you have realized Marianne and Daniel Pearl are so vastly outside the realms of entertainment media that the very thought of this satirical story involving a tragedy of this proportion happening to someone so courageous and beautiful is utterly sad.

It’s unbelievable to me that we as a nation are so lost in our fantasies that we have lost the means or vocabulary for compassion, or the ability to allow others their personal space for grief and change. I don’t really care who Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt are in their private lives and it is not mine to know. Based on their actions in their public lives, I deeply respect and admire them as human beings. I am glad, of all the sickly self absorbed characters in Hollywood, this project was allowed by Marianne Pearl and Daniel Pearl’s family to come into the hands of these two people and Winterbottom and all the others involved in the project, who all did the best job possible of portraying this story in a way that was important for the world to hear.
