Angelina Jolie revealed she feels closer than ever to her husband Brad Pitt after they wed in an intimate ceremony in France earlier this year, during Monday night’s Unbroken world premiere.
‘It [Unbroken] is an epic about the human spirit, so I think certainly in knowing, less about the technical aspect of shooting a war film, but more what I know of him [Brad] as a man and living with this great man and seeing the choices he makes with our family, our children, the way he treats me and the values he holds and learning from my sons. and they say, “No worries”.’
Reunited with many of the crew members who helped make the film possible, Angelina was glad to return to Australia for the world premire. ‘It was very important for us to bring the film back here.’
The World War II biopic tells of the strength and perseverance of late Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was taken prisoner by Japanese forces during the war, a lesson Angelina believes is needed now as much as ever.
‘I wanted to make this film because I wanted to put something out in this world that reminded us all of the strength of the human spirit and brotherhood and faith and all of the things that will in the end get us through these dark times,’ she continued.
‘Louis is one example [of strength] but when we said to Louis that I want to make this film to show how extraordinary you are he said no, make the film to tell everyone how extraordinary they are.
