Angelina Jolie tells her favourite character in Sleeping Beauty when she was a child, which is actually maleficent.
She tells, "It was almost like seeing Marlene Dietrich for the first time. You just think, 'Who is this big powerful force that seems so elegant as a woman?. She kind of had that 1930s, 1940s [look]. And even though she’s wicked, she seems to be having a very, very good time. So I just found her kind of mesmerizing.'"
Ironic, later on she acted as Maleficent, which was shown in 2014.
Other than that, she loves to watch adventurous movies like Lawrence of Arabia. She explained, "I liked the journey you could take, the emotional journey, but then there’s also just the real journey of going to places where you can learn about other cultures and be other people and explore life in this kind of extreme way. That was something that I wanted."
