Angelina Jolie: I know Brad Pitt intimately and emotionally

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie believes her woman’s perspective makes ‘Unbroken’ a great film as she used the love she has for husband Brad Pitt and their children as inspiration.

The 39-year-old star is currently promoting the release of ‘Unknown’ – the second film she’s directed – and she’s confessed the message within it is dedicated to her love for her husband and their sons.

Speaking about how making an epic war film is unusual for a woman, she said: “I don’t feel it’s a woman’s touch as much as it’s how a woman loves and respects men.

“And I look at this, and I see my son, and Brad, and it’s me paying respect to the men I love, showing them I know them intimately and I know them emotionally.

“And they’re not just cool to me when they’re being tough. They’re cool when they’re able to be vulnerable to.”

The ‘Salt’ actress also admitted she wants her children – Shiloh, Vivienne, Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Knox – to watch the film and learn from it.

Referring to the story of American Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was beaten by Japanese guards for over two years as a soldier and prisoner during the Second World War, Angelina told The Sunday Times newspaper: “I wanted to show them something that’s hard to watch in places, but in the end – without beating you over the head – you do, I hope, feel a bit more like, ‘Well, maybe I can step up and be a better person, too’.”
