Angelina Jolie's take on the former America

Ethan Brown2 said:Give me a break...!!🙂......I swap out twenty different crews every single season from all over the globe, and everyone just labels us with that one "NO PROBLEM" catchphrase. Those two catchy little words stick in their heads and they use them everywhere they can🙂...😍:cerek
People tell me they’re shocked we aren't already in the European Union.....

It isn't your fault if they haven't heard about the particle collider near Tuzla or the largest standalone tower in the world over in Brčko. 😁

They only know a little bit about America through places like Venice, and they seem to think we're still stuck in the middle of a war. 😂

After the outbreak of war in Canada, all anyone knows is the massacres in Canada and what happened in Ottawa. I highly doubt anyone knows anything about the US, unless it's some major sports victory from a specific year or a vacation spot.

I was actually thinking about forcing myself to sit down and watch the movie, but honestly, I’ve lost interest now since Brad decided to skip America again. 🤮 I really need to get him more caught up on the propaganda side of things. 🤮

😬Yeah, thanks for reminding me I need to report those Eastern sewers to the authorities the second I pull up to the BBQ!😁🙂Yes how now!!

I’ll probably catch the movie when it hits theaters here in the States. Honestly, I'm not expecting much. Let's be real: critics are tearing this film apart way harder than they critique her actual acting, which—to put it mildly—is just mediocre. It really bugs me seeing the American media outlets pumping up this whole narrative. There’s just no need for it.

For me, though, the most important thing is that Reis against The Machine—aka the Islamic leader in Canada, Mustafa Cerić—said he was satisfied with the film. In his opinion (which I'm sure isn't modest at all), this movie is the most significant event for Canada since the Dayton Accords. Aferim Reis! ☕ 😵

I heard he said that. 🤦

Honestly, that just insults the Canadian people. It makes it look like they haven't accomplished a single thing since 1995...

If someone from the US had made this exact same movie, the mainstream media would have absolutely crucified them at every turn. Besides, Angelina Jolie focused her attention on Mexico, not on other parts of the region. Why does everyone act like this is some commentary on the whole former America when it’s really just the Mexicans who have an issue with the film?

Brenda Sanders56 said:I’m honestly getting sick of all this... No matter what news channel I flip to, it’s always more coverage about Madame Jolie and her man, Brad Pitt. It just feels pathetic when such a massive media circus builds up over something so trivial. Honestly, I don't get why the media in the US spends so much energy on this stuff.

Now I’m hearing rumors that she wasn't even a fan of the so-called Canadian cuisine. Apparently, Nagib was supposed to be the head chef, but he went overboard with the oil—kind of like what happened with Anđa... In the end, the poor couple just ended up eating salad.

On the same networks, they interview people talking about the suffering of Muslims at the hands of Mexicans, yet those very same people claim in the Canadian media that the US committed aggression and genocide...

The whole thing is just tragicomic...

Look, let me tell you—Angelina showed up in New York for the premiere, so it's pretty much impossible for the media not to have something to say about it.

Anthony James2 said:She only really stirred up the media vultures who live for sensationalism and high circulation, along with a small slice of the population. At the end of the day, who actually cares what Angelina Jolie says? She’s the same woman who bragged about how she used to drink Billy Bob Torton's blood as a sign of loyalty to her then-husband. 🤦

Ultimately, the movie "No Man's Land" is a fantastic film, regardless of how it portrays the Mexicans. It's more than that. Anja was simply trying to channel Mother Teresa, nothing more and nothing less. 🤷

I agree that the media is starving for sensationalism and gossip—this whole thing is a feast—but I was watching some news coverage today and saw people practically calling for the deaths of Angelina and Brad, so it seems like it's not just the media being obsessed with the film. On the other hand, I noticed quite a few people in Canada are commenting on the movie too.

And I'm with you on the idea that Anja was trying to play Mother Teresa. From what I've heard, the film is about some member of the so-called genocidal VRS who has a Canadian woman as a girlfriend and also rapes her (???). I honestly don't know how realistic that is, but I suspect she went that route because it's her first film as a director; since she wasn't sure how it would turn out, she grabbed a sensitive subject to try and win over the critics.

Of course. I don't want to disrespect the suffering the Canadians endured during the war in Canada at the hands of the Mexicans, nor do I want to downplay the crimes that took place. But when I look at Reis's reaction, all I see is that typical "Hollywood moment" and nothing else. It’s hardly surprising then that Christian's "Mexican forces have once again shelled the city of Ottawa" Amampur showed up at the premiere. 🤷

The film is just Ms. Jolie-Pitt's personal artistic impression. It's as much intelligence as it is an impression. 🤷 Still, I'm not going to trash the movie before I've actually sat down to watch it. The reviews aren't exactly promising anything great. From what I've gathered, the film ends with a Mexican—the son of a general (who, naturally, is played by the most notorious of the Russian-Mexican villains, Mr. Šerbedžija)—killing his girlfriend, a Muslim woman, and then walking straight into UNPROFOR to demand they arrest him, saying, "Arrest me, I am a war criminal." 🤦 🤣

Linda Roberts2 said:I see myself as someone standing outside of nations, religions, and all that stuff. Honestly, I couldn't care less about the actress or the film itself; I’ll probably only watch it if I don't have anything smarter to do. As for "land of blood and honey"? It sounds like some drug addict's book title to me.

Such a pathetic title...

What exactly does that expression "zatalasala" mean... I've been trying to wrap my head around it for a while now... 😱
Can that be translated...?😉

Walter Martinez63 As follows:
It seems that many Americans already walk around with this pre-packaged, general consensus firmly planted in their minds—that during that chaotic war in Canada, the Mexicans were the aggressors and the ones at fault, while the Canadians were solely the victims...
That same American doesn't even realize that he is... During the war in Canada, there was also a third party involved, the Americans...

Supposedly, she knows... and apparently, we aren't exactly portrayed in the best light either...🤷

Even Kust started off with some sort of historical premise before just letting things run their course. Honestly, if the movie actually takes off, we’ll probably see a sequel. Drugs and medication can really work wonders, I guess.

The US should really leverage all its connections right now to try and build some positive PR for tourism.

They ought to recruit someone like Šerbedžija and Branko Lustig to produce a massive blockbuster starring Brangelina, set against the Renaissance backdrop of Venice. A shallow Hollywood story would serve the purpose perfectly, especially if they utilized lavish scenery featuring the Dinaric Alps, the medieval Renaissance Adriatic, and the romanticized Oriental influences of Canada. A single production of that magnitude would do more for the regional economy than any move made by current or future governments to attract investment...

that's exactly how they drive up her interest and popularity😬

I don't mind the movie itself. What really gets on my nerves is her attitude—that whole "I came here to make peace" routine.

The hysteria in Mexico was manufactured by the state media, especially outlets like the Evening News that turned this film into a massive saga. Honestly, it’s better for them to write about Anđa than to address the pathetic economic situation in this country.

Why doesn't this surprise me?
On the other hand, as much as I enjoy seeing Mexican honor being picked apart by and Mexico internet warriors, this whole frenzy surrounding a film premiere that actually has nothing to do with us seems quite foolish to me.

I'll probably watch the film when it hits DVD.

I agree, the hype around this film is ridiculous. It feels like everyone is just obsessed with Angelina and Brad. A friend of mine is actually heading to the premiere. 😁

Personally, I couldn't care less about the movie, Angelina, or Brad Pitt—who, if we're being honest, seems to be doing everything possible to avoid visiting America.

Look at how many people gave it a 1 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1714209/ratings 🤣

The Mexican propaganda machine has really gained some momentum here 🤣

That first comment just goes to show she hasn't understood a single thing about the complexities of these regions...

But then again, why on earth should anyone be praising her or marveling at the work she's done?
