Just like Opera, Maria -- the Angelina Jolie 2024 film -- is not for all audiences. Jolie's portrayal of Callas was profoundly mesmerizing. Deeply poignant. Rising above the usual trappings of money-making commercially pleasing drama movies depicting extraordinary lives, Jolie flawlessly takes us into the raw, brilliant, intuitive, and uniquely transcendent visionary madness reserved only for spirits like Maria's. Profoundly impacted forever by the dark, destructive, cruel passions of human evilness. Make no mistake, Jolie is the perfect Maria. For to project personal sorrow into any form of art with such mastery requires more than practice.
