EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERHOOD
Jolie, 31, said being a young mother helped her understand what Mariane had
gone through.
"Many people know this story and they forget that Mariane was five and a half
months pregnant at the time," Jolie said.
"I remember being six months pregnant and thinking, 'I can't imagine at this
time not having the father with me'," she added, referring to Pitt, who was
sitting close to her.
"As a mother it just made me so much more connected to her and also knowing
that carrying that life inside, that little boy that's half Danny, that is so
amazing."
The Pearls' child Adam was born after Daniel's death.
There was a moment of raw emotion in the press conference when reporter Chris
Burns asked Mariane if she forgave him for asking her live on television shortly
after Daniel's death whether she had seen the video of his murder.
Stony faced, she pointedly avoided the word "forgive," saying only: "I accept
your apologies."
Early critical reaction to "A Mighty Heart" has been positive, with trade
magazine Variety calling Jolie's performance "a subdued, carefully considered
portrait of a woman caught between premature grief and persistent hope."
Jolie said "A Mighty Heart" did not signal a shift away from comic or action
roles for which she is best known, and that she would try to combine serious and
light cinema.
Jolie and Pitt, known collectively in Hollywood as "Brangelina," appeared
together on the red carpet at the official evening screening. She wore a
knee-length black dress and he wore traditional tuxedo and bow tie.
