Alll about Angelina Jolie
!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!

All you wanted to know about Miss Jolie and then some!!! Most of this I already knew not surprisingly the critics who praise her also bash her at the same time.

Well let’s start with the beginning. We learn that Jon Voight is Jolie’s father but Voight wasn’t the ideal father. He cheated on his wife, and the couple later divorced causing friction between him and Jolie.so much that Angelina drops the Voight name and simply wants to be known as Angelina Jolie. Family dysfunction isn’t new in Hollywood-Tatum O’neal blames Ryan O’neal, the beautiful Rebecca De Mornay (another sex symbol) hated the guts of her father Wally (The Rightwinger)( George, so she also dropped changed her name. In fact as IMDB trivia states Rebecca is actually the ex-sister in law of Tatum. LMAO. I tell you so much dysfunction. Anyways, Voight when confronted that he committed numerous mistakes that harmed Jolie gives a half assed apology of sorts still sporting that toothy stupid grin he shows in all his movies. I can’t really blame Jolie for severing ties with her father.

On the other hand, the episode also explores Jolie’s reputation as a home wrecker and I have to say it’s dead on. While I love Angelina the actress, the person is another story. She conveniently seems to be at the right place at the right time when relationships are ending. For example, Billy Bob Thornton was going to marry Laura Dern but suddenly the engagement was off. Even Laura Dern is surprised by this. Then once Jolie and Bob’s relationship deteriorates she sets her sites on Brad Pitt who was currently involved with Jennifer Aniston and wouldn’t you know that relationship is soon ended once Jolie and Brad together during the filming of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” So despite everything that Jolie says to the otherwise, it appears she verifies as a home wrecker. Again why I love the actress, not the person but then again there aren’t many actors I can say honestly that are as we say “clean”.

We move on to probably the many attempts Jolie has made to kill herself. She has tattoos and has had a long history of partying. It’s a miracle that she is where she is once we learn her dark history. Again while Jon Voight can take part of the blame for this Angelina’s dysfunction seems to come from her own hand as well. She is extremely lucky to be where she is. Yes she’s a great actress but any upcoming actor or actress who carried the same baggage she did would NEVER succeed in Hollywood.

Lastly, the episode covers Angelina sudden urge to be a mother and being an goodwill Ambassador to the United States at places like Cambodia, Thailand, etc. This is probably what I think her the most purpose right now since it seems she has an endless supply of men who want her for one reason only, if she truly devotes herself to this cause of helping others and children, she will accomplish a lot more than whatever her Hollywood career can offer her. Anyways, it’s a very entertain episode and you will learn a lot of stuff about Jolie.
