Hollywood Reports Very Sad News About Angelina Jolie, She Is Confirmed As…See More
Angelina Jolie is an Academy Award-winning actress who rose to fame after her role in Girl, Interrupted (1999), playing the title role in the “Lara Croft” blockbuster movies, as well as Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), Wanted (2008), Salt (2010) and Maleficent (2014). Off-screen, Jolie has become prominently involved in international charity projects, especially those involving refugees. She often appears on many “most beautiful women” lists, and she has a personal life that is avidly covered by the tabloid press.
Angelina Jolie finds “certain sounds” ease her “despair” and “pain”.
The ‘Maleficent’ actress, 49, who is still embroiled in a bitter custody battle with her ‘Fight Club’ actor ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60, after they split in 2016, opened up about how she thinks classical music and opera can soothe anyone in distress.
She said at the Venice Film Festival, where she is promoting her film ‘Maria’ – in which she plays opera singer Maria Callas – when asked about her musical tastes: “I was more of a punk and I loved all music but I probably listened to The Clash more than most.
“As I have gotten older I have listened to classical music and opera. I think I still love the music I did when I was younger, I would still listen to The Clash.
“But I think when you have felt a certain level of despair, of pain, of love at a certain point there are only certain sounds that can match that feeling and to me the immensity of the feeling encapsulated in the sounds of opera – there is nothing like it.
