Angelina Jolie Says Teens Will Identify With 'Blood And Honey'

'I think they will watch this film and say, 'That could be me' and 'What would I do?' ' director/writer tells MTV News.By Kevin P. Sullivan Angelina Jolie Photo: MTV News Angelina Jolie lives her life in front of cameras. Even when she's off the job and not starring in action films like "Salt" or "Wanted," paparazzi follow her every move. But in the last three years, Jolie has only appeared onscreen in two films, representing a dialing back on her profile as an actress. Now Jolie has returned in a big but unexpected way. Her feature-film directorial debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," follows the relationship of a man and a woman during the Bosnian War, and Jolie is nowhere to be found in front of the camera. Her work remains entirely behind the camera as the film's writer and director, leaving the acting to people native to the countries portrayed in the film. At the New York premiere of her film, Jolie spoke with MTV News about why the movie is especially important for a younger audience, who may not have even been alive or remember the Bosnian War of the early 1990s. "This young audience will be interested because [of] the characters — they'll identify with them," Jolie said. "This is the '90s. They may have been children or not alive during that time, but they're watching people who were 18 years old, 10 years old in a European cosmopolitan society, and it's what would have happened if they went to war." It's this identification that Jolie believes will ultimately draw younger viewers to the film and will make them question how the same conflict would affect their own lives. "I think they will watch this film and say, 'That could be me' and 'What would I do?' and 'How would I handle this situation?' " she said. "So I think it will become very personal to them, and I think they will identify with it. And it's war in our generation, so we must pay attention."
