While giving a Changeling press conference for the British press, Angelina Jolie teared up while comparing her mother, Marcheline, to her character of Christine Collins.
She said that she was able to relate to her character because of some similarities between Christine and her mother as far as temperament is concerned. I liked how she shared a little personal bit of her mother with us by saying that although her name was Marcheline, everyone called her marshmallow because she was such a softie. She said she never really got angry “couldn’t swear to save her life” and that despite that she could still be strong and fierce to protect her kids.
Since Christine lived in an era where women were decorative and meant to do little more than care for their family and home, and were certainly never meant to speak up, Angelina was able to use her mom’s characteristics to portray a quiet woman in 1928 who had to stand up to an entire corrupt police system.
The video clip made me tear up. It’s very clear that Angelina misses her mother very much, and I can’t imagine that kind of loss, especially when Marcheline wasn’t very old.
If you read the accompanying article, at the end it says that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning a big family Christmas, though she didn’t mention where. I’m going to guess either New Orleans, since it’s their official home base, or in Missouri with Brad‘s parents, unless obligations have them elsewhere. Their Chateau in France would probably be pretty spectacular for Christmas too – where do you think they’ll be?
Recently I looked at People Celebs and I read Angelina’s life and there was a picture of her with her mother.. Whoa Angelina really looks alot like her mom if u saw the pic of Angelina with Kung Fu Panda … Just look at the hairstyle WOW …. I hope the pic shows if I copy and paste that here http://www.people.com/people/angelina_jolie
Anyway I m so glad for Angelina .. She found happiness at last with Brad and their little darlings
I cried too while watching this video. As her father was not there for her and her brother, their mother was so much more important in their lives and was both mum and dad to them. It must be very hard for Angie to have lost her mum. I feel so much for her.
Watching that video gives me tears, it really does. My mum is still alive and well but just even the thought of loosing her is devastating enough, and so for poor Angie to have lost her mum already, and she is young to have lost her mum at this age, I just feel so sorry for her. I don’t think anyone can recover loosing their mother, especially a daughter, so I think it is something that will always stick with her.
But Angie is a wonderful tribute to her mother, she’s so like her in physicality and in spirit, her mum would be so proud of her, and the children.
I know exactly how Angie feels. I lost my mom 13 years ago and I still miss her. She sure thinks about her mum a lot. Especially when she is looking at her own children (Shiloh and the twins). Shi was very young when her garndma Marcheline died (8 months old) and the twins will never get to know her. But they have their paternal grandmother who loves them very much. I´m certain that Angie has brought of her mum´s charasteristicts into the role of Christine Collins. Angie said in this interview that her mum was a very gentle woman but when it came to her children she was very fierce. I guess Angie is like that herself. Loving but still very fierce in protecting their children from all that public writing. No wonder she and Brad won´t bring those six into the public eye too often. I respect them for that a lot. It´s enough that Tom Cruise and Katie Hollmes do that with Suri. I think that they´ll spend Christmas in New Orleans and Missouri so that the children will be able to see their grandparents and other relatives.
it’s a little bit C.reazy: the twins are only 4months old and we are already thinking to the next child!!! lol, i think it’s the funny side with brad and angie: they do a lot of things in a short time, they live at 200% and i think it’s the better way to live!
about adoption:
1) where do you think that brad and angie ‘ll adopt the next child? and why?
my opinion is that they’ll adopt in africa, maybe in darfur. i think they’ll do that for Z in the one hand, and to help a kid in a part of the world where he can’t survive without them.
2) which kind of child do you think they’ll adopt (boy, girl? young baby or young kid?)
i think they’ll welcome a young kid, not a baby, because of the twins but maybe because a bigger kid ‘ll integrate more easily the family (with other kids of her age…). maybe a kid who has the same age as shiloh?

angela: i’m sorry for your mum.
niemiec idiota – That’s such a nice thought. :)
i was pretty suprised too when i saw the video in ET last night, the part where she expressed the “F” word – she must’ve really miss her mom terribly.
i’m guessing it’ll be in the chateau where james and brad’s family will celebrate it with them in that big mansion.
christmas 2005 – L.A (1st x-mas together)
chrtistmas 2006 – costa rica, panama, colombia
christmas 2007 – NOLA and missouri
christmas 2008 – ?
maybe ethiopia to highlight kids in need at christmas and to confirm adoption interest?
you’re right sherry, i think that they’ll probably go to nola for christmas. hope they could rest a little bit (evrybody in the house is probably tired with all these jetlags! but what a funny life to travel so much!)
Yes i feel for angie i lost my mum not long before angie did,no fame or money can stop the empty sadness for her mum and her mum never got to see the twins is so sad my mum never got to see my sisters baby to watching the video of her upset made me cry for her mum and mine to and everyone who has lost their precious mum.
