Saw the premiere last night. Before you criticize the casting of Angelina Jolie, go see the movie. Her performance is oscar-worthy and the movie is incredibly powerful. enough said…

Who else could have played Ms. Pearl other than the skinnier half of Brangelina? LOTS OF PEOPLE!

She doesn’t look anything like Brangelina! Rosario Dawson would make far more sense.

Bash, bash, bash away… the Brangelina train is just plain irksome. Celebs in general are irksome, but, they, in particular, make me itch…though, in fairness, not so badly as the hives I broke out in after the 24/7 dead Anna coverage.

There is nothing wrong with Angelina playing this part since she is not in fact white anyway - Angelina may look white but she is part Iroquois Indian..

Let Rosario Dawson plays Mariane. She suits the role better than Angie.

How far are we going to take this debate? Should a true autistic person have played Rain Man? Should only blind/deaf persons be considered for Helen Keller roles? Is it reprehensible that a person of Danish descent portray a person of Swedish descent? Come on, it is acting people! Furthermore, bloggers rip actors to shreds, commenting on std status and drug dependency, but it is world war 3 that angelina used make-up to portray her character more adeptly. We really will be involved in world war 3 if we don’t stop being so hyper-sensitive. Grow up.

Ok, so I’ve heard lots of arguments for why Angie shouldn’t play MP and use brown makeup. One thing that bothers me, though, is the suggestion that Indira Varma could have played MP. I feel like this make the statement that all non-white women are largely interchangable. I mean, Indira Varma is beautiful, but I think she looks less like MP (or someone of Afro-cuban and white descent) than Angie does. Maybe Angie shouldn’t have used makeup for the role, but I don’t think that asking an indian/swiss woman to play MP because she is a “woman of color” is right either.

Brad and Angelina Threatened By Al-Qaeda Over Daniel Pearl Film…

But aren’t Hollywood liberals/third-world baby adopters/U.N. darlings immune to this kind of thing?
Nope:

Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, shooting for the film A Mighty Heart based on the life of slain Journalist Daniel Pearl at……
