The fabulously wealthy and famous Angelina Jolie believes Thanksgiving is a tale of murder and oppression, the subjugation of one culture by another.
Jolie is a “B” movie actor, a female version of Tom Cruise that has made a bundle making second rate movies with second rate talent. Yet she uses her platform as a nominal actress to bash the country that has supported her. The idea that Thanksgiving is a tale of murder is ridiculous beyond measure. She’s even made sure she’s going to be out of the country.
Maybe she should stay out of the country; give back whatever percentage of her domestic movie sales since this country is so venal. Any future movies she makes should only be released in foreign markets.
Truly, people in the arts just need to shut up and ply their craft. In Jolie’s case, she can read a little history and find out what really happened in the early years of this country, and perhaps read George Washington’s proclamation about Thanksgiving. Get a clue and be thankful. Good grief.
I’ve only seen a couple of her movies, the “Tomb Raider” ones just because it’s a cartoon of mindless mayhem and kinda fun. I don’t think were she to accidentally make a good movie, I’d be inclined to see it. On this Thanksgiving, on of the things I’m thankful for is that I haven’t wasted much time and money on her movies.
