Looking at pictures of Angelina Jolie during her humanitarian visit to Pakistan this week, we were nagged by a feeling of déjà vu. Something about her look, with the pale white skin, the drawn cheekbones, the glinting blue eyes, the pouty lips, and the dark headscarf looked so familiar. What was it? Finally, today, we figured it out. She reminded us very vividly of the devil from Mel Gibson’s seminal Let’s-All-Get-Terrified-by-Jesus film, The Passion of the Christ! But now, looking at the two side by side, we’re not so sure. Do they actually look alike? Or is it just that we subconsciously associate Angelina Jolie with temptation, evil, and movies that are far too self-serious for their own good?
