“In the Land of Blood and Honey” sheds light on horrors of war – Angelina Jolie

“In the Land of Blood and Honey,” is a drama that has been written and directed by the Oscar-winning actress Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie. This would make Jolie’s debut as screenwriter and director.

This is the story of a Serbian soldier, Danijel (Goran Kostic), he meets a Bosnian woman, Ajla (Zana Marjanovic), before the war. The attraction between them is strong, but then they will be separated by the conflict. War broke out and she ends up as a prisoner
in a field that he oversees.

 “I wrote the script,” she told the reporters, but she did not plan to write. “Just one day I was frustrated, having met many people in traumatic situations. I wrote this trying to reflect what war does to the parents, children, mothers, children and couples.”

‘It’s a story about the loss of humanity and the ugliness that is imposed during the war. It’s amazing how ugly people can be in a war. The violence of the film is a drop in the ocean compared to what is happening now all over the world. Jolie admitted that
she found it difficult to reconcile with the subject.

”I felt there was something that had not been analyzed enough,” she said. ”This was a war that happened in our generation. It took too long to intervene in it and the movie, in essence, is about what happened before interviniéramos. I wanted the audience
sitting in the theater thinking: ‘Please stop this, please,” she added.

The film has not been devoid of controversy. A Croatian journalist who writes under the name of James J. Braddock Jolie accused of having plagiarized parts of his book”The Soul Shattering,”published in 2007. However, she asserted that these allegations
are totally unfounded.

Jolie would be paradoxical to depart from the action at a time when his work on the screen finally earned him the respect that his celebrity status was denied for many years.
