Angelina Jolie, a name synonymous with Hollywood glamour and humanitarian efforts, is once again capturing headlines. This time, it’s a combination of her upcoming Netflix film, “maria,” a biopic about the legendary opera singer Maria Callas, and her candid responses to a recent press tour.
The buzz surrounding “Maria” is palpable. Jolie’s dedication to the role is evident, as she reportedly immersed herself in the world of Callas, even taking Italian lessons to better understand the iconic soprano. In an interview with IndieWire, Jolie shared her viewpoint on the power of opera, stating, “There is nothing that meets what you’re feeling like opera. The music is]so beautiful,so full of hope and so full of yearning. Opera is bigger. It is indeed bigger than we allow ourselves to feel in every moment.”
Beyond the excitement of her new film, Jolie also made headlines for her sharp response to a question during a press junket. When a journalist from The Sunday Times inquired about the possibility of her own biopic, Jolie’s reaction was immediate and memorable. “That gets the most insane question award,” she quipped. she elaborated,explaining,“When you’re a public person and you’re playing [a character in a biopic],you’re conscious of how you would hate for somebody to interpret your life or think they understand your life. So we tried to be thoughtful.” She further added that she would be happy if “there isn’t one about my life.”
Jolie’s candidness reflects a growing trend among celebrities who are increasingly vocal about controlling their narratives and protecting their privacy. Her comments resonate with many Americans who value personal autonomy and the right to privacy in the face of intense public scrutiny.
At 49, Jolie embraces her current stage of life. She shared with IndieWire, “I’m 49. I do feel like an older woman now and I embrace that.” This statement underscores a broader societal shift towards celebrating aging and embracing different life phases.
“Maria,” released on Netflix on December 11th, promises to be a captivating cinematic experience. Jolie’s performance, coupled with her insightful comments, ensures that this film and her recent press tour will continue to generate conversation for weeks to come.

Angelina Jolie: In The Spotlight Again, Balancing Roles & privacy
Angelina Jolie is attracting attention both for her upcoming netflix film ”Maria”, a biopic about legendary opera singer Maria Callas, and her candid remarks during a recent press tour.
We sat down with Dr. Elizabeth Renard, Professor of Film Studies and Media Culture at New York University, to discuss Jolie’s career trajectory, the complexities of portraying iconic figures, and the increasing trend of celebrities advocating for privacy.
Angelina Jolie’s career has spanned decades and encompasses acting,directing,and humanitarian work. How would you characterize her impact on the film industry and beyond?
dr. Renard: Angelina Jolie is undeniably a cultural icon. She’s managed to maintain a career longevity rare in Hollywood while concurrently using her platform to speak out on important social issues. her work with the UN Refugee Agency has brought much-needed attention to global crises, and she doesn’t shy away from advocating for causes she believes in. It’s this combination of talent, charisma, and activism that makes her so compelling.
“Maria” marks Jolie’s return to a leading role after a few years focusing on directing and producing.What do you think drew her to this particular project?
Dr. Renard: Callas was a force of nature, a gifted artist with a tumultuous personal life. Perhaps Jolie recognizes a kindred spirit in Callas, a woman who navigated both immense success and intense public scrutiny. Portraying Callas would allow Jolie to showcase her dramatic range and explore themes of artistry,passion,and the price of fame –
themes that likely resonate with her own experiences.
Jolie has been vrey vocal about her aversion to the idea of a biopic about her own life. What do you make of her stance on biographical films in general?
Dr. renard: It’s a interesting outlook, especially coming from someone whose life has been so heavily documented. Jolie’s comments highlight the inherent tension in biopics: the desire to capture someone’s essence while acknowledging the limitations of recreating a complex human life on screen. She’s right to point out that no film can truly encapsulate the breadth of a person’s experiences.
Her stance also reflects a growing sense among celebrities that they have a right to control their narratives. In the age of social media and constant scrutiny,reclaiming privacy and agency becomes even more crucial.
Do you think this desire for privacy among celebrities will influence the way biographical films are made in the future?
Dr. Renard:
Absolutely.We’re already seeing a shift towards more nuanced and collaborative approaches to biopics,with filmmakers working closely with subjects or their estates to ensure authenticity and respect. Perhaps we’ll see more films focusing on lesser-known figures or those who willingly choose to share their stories, rather than those who prefer to remain private.
