    Storyline

    • Trivia
      After Angelina Jolie was cast as Mariane Pearl, she and the filmmakers came in for a great deal of criticism, since Pearl's and Jolie's racial backgrounds are not similar, and Jolie played the role wearing makeup that somewhat darkened her own skin tone. The casting reminded many critics of the time in Hollywood when it was customary to cast "ethnic" roles with white actors in makeup rather than using black, Asian, or Native American actors. During a promotional press event for the movie, Jolie responded to the criticisms by saying, "the idea is, if you ask Marianne, because she did address that... if you did actually want to find somebody that was her exact makeup, she's actually majority Dutch, and she's as black as she is Chinese, and she's Cuban, and she's French. So, it could have gone to many different racial backgrounds, probably, if you went technical on it." Pearl herself approved of casting Jolie; in Time Magazine, Pearl said, "I have heard some criticism about her casting, but it is not about the color of your skin. It is about who you are. I asked her to play the role - even though she is way more beautiful than I am - because I felt a real kinship to her."

    Scary realism and Angelina Jolie scary good
    Michael Winterbottom brings us the true story of Daniel Pearl (Dan Futterman). It's January 2002, the Wall Street Journal reporter was captured by terrorists when he arranged an interview with a fundamentalist cleric. His wife Mariane (Angelina Jolie) immediately initiates a frantic search.

    Two things stand out in this movie. The eerie realism and the scary setting this movie exists in. The Pakistani part of the movie is especially stunning. You can almost feel the energy coming from the streets. The second is Angelina Jolie. She really transform herself, and shows that she is a real actress with skills.
