Angelina Jolie Cries in Public & Shows She's Not Dead Inside

on February 16, 2012 at 2:29 PM

Do you ever look at Angelina Jolie and wonder if she's real? Like, question if she's got blood and guts and organs and all of that other icky human stuff floating around inside of her instead of, like, wires, a switchboard, and a USB port? Well, I have something that can put your cynicism to rest: A few days ago, she cried. In public. Not on a movie set.

The tears came while she took to the stage during the Bosnian premiere of her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey. After receiving a standing ovation from the crowd, she couldn't control her emotions, and the water works started flowing. Before the screening of the film, she shakily said to the crowd: "It means so much to all of us, it means so much to me and I can't tell you how much it means to be here with all of you and to share this film and that you're receiving it so warmly means the world to me. I care so deeply for all of you in this country."

I'm a little shocked. The actress is normally completely icy and stoic, if not totally dead inside. You never see emotion out of her. Not on the red carpet, not in paparazzi pics, and not in interviews. It's nice to see that, after all, she is a human being as opposed to a walking, talking fembot who may or may not have the ability to spray potentially life-threatening gasses and/or bullets out of her boobs. It makes me feel safe.

Did you secretly think Angelina Jolie was a robot?

A robot, no. Maybe just more cautious as to what she allows the public to see, after being overly sharing when she was younger. Hello sex in a limo with Billy Bob.

I have always thought that she is very caring and a passionate person. I believe she does not show it in public much or to the paparazzi because of what happens in tabloids.

No, I didn't think she was a robot because she does so much to help others so I know she has a big heart. She just always seemed like a private person to me and didn't like letting a lot of people in.

I agree with the author. She didnt seem like a real person....she didnt let any human-ness show, so therefore i did not like her at all.

Well Nicole, I assume you don't like Angelina, since this the second disparaging post you've made about her recently... Let me think of something nice I can say about you... Hmmm, nothing comes to mind...

I have always liked her, but when she was younger before she had kids she shared a whole lot with the public and after she grew up and became a mother she has been much more private, but anyone who spends that much of her time and focus on helping people has to have a big heart. I ♥ you Angelina!

I remember her wild child days, when she was full of all kinds of things including emotions - I just figured she grew up and decided to be a lady for a change, so as not to sully her exceedingly gorgeous marriage and adult life. As much as I hated the idea of MY Brad being whisked away by some crazy lady, she has proven that she has what it takes to be decent, and because of that I like knowing that she is still a little crazy underneath that dignified grownup exterior. It suits them both well I think.
