"The Land of Blood and Honey"

Angelina Jolie wrote and directed the self-made film, which did not exceed expectations. It was normal. She was originally a mainstream star. Although she had her own political consciousness and many charitable deeds, she was in harmony with Jane Fang. Radical political figures like Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave are still different. So she couldn't escape the national consciousness of the United States of America and the unique soft temperament of women from the script creation. Otherwise, even if she is Julie, it would be difficult for her to get funding for the filming.

As a director, she still handed in qualified answers for her debut. Very traditional narrative. Although the plot is slightly procrastinated, it is at least comprehensive. The basic control of many scenes cannot be seen from the hands of women, and there are also moving emotional aspects. It is still worth looking forward to for her possible future choreography works.

  • Danijel: [aiming rifle at Ajla] I asked myself, "Why is it so easy for some men to kill the other?"

    [rifle down]

    Danijel: And then I wondered, "Would she kill me if she had the chance?"

  • Danijel: It's politics, not murder. The politics of all this are very complicated.

    Ajla: It is murder... for political gain. But still murder.
