Angelina Jolie Against Criticism Of Her Bosnian Love Story movie

Maybe should be tough being a celebrity! Angelina Jolie has certainly seen her fair share of celebrity bashing since she began her directorial debut film about a Bosnian love story movie. Bakira Hasecic, leader of The Women Victims of War, has continued hammering Jolie for what she perceives as ignorance to their wartime plight. The group has become so incensed by the films reported love story plot between a Serbian prison guard and a Bosnian female captive, that they have actually asked the UN to strip Jolie of her goodwill ambassadorship. This seems an extreme request when just a few months ago the Bosnian refugees were calling Angelina Jolie “our saint”.

when Angelina Jolie was humanitarian efforts with the UNHCR, she has seen firsthand the struggle to survive the refugees face in every day. “You should go to these places and you realize what life was really about and what people are really going through,” Angelina says. “All of These people are my heroes.” Does this sound like a woman who would produce a film and not consider the sensitivity of the people who actually lived through the horrors of the Bosnian war?

Of course, Angelina Jolie has had enough. While in Paris promoting her film “The Tourist,” Jolie has told Reuters, “The absolute majority of the people, population, the cast, prime minister, president have been extremely supportive.” She also said that 95 percent of the film’s cast had lived through the war.

No one of us can truly understood the emotional trauma that the Bosnian women suffered through the war. But, doesn’t it seem a bit more logical to wait and see Angelina Jolie’s finished product before passing judgment? Jolie has spent years working with the UNHCR and has shown her compassion for those less fortunate, which will assuredly be felt in her Bosnian love story.
