I really wanted to like this movie, but I couldn’t get my brain to believe that Angelina Jolie was an opera singer.
It just didn’t seem right
Even in the opening scene, I couldn’t be sure that it was her singing. I don’t know why these producers didn’t risk a real opera singer? Or at least someone on Broadway who could convince us. The script wasn’t that interesting.
I also liked the clothes and sets
There should have been a lot to say about this extraordinary woman. Someone mentioned that the story was weak, and I agree. Her accent didn’t sit well with me either. One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the biggest TV and broadcast premieres this month.
