Why is Angelinga Jolie portrayed as a Saint in a painting at Walmart?

Question

IMO she has committed adultry and is living in sin, but because she does a few good things this is OK??? Let alone best dressed for the awards...with tattoos all over?

Answer 1

I know right! I don't agree with the tatoo thing cuz that's her personal preference that don't make her a bad person, but honestly people act as if her and brad Pit are the only saints in the damn world! as if they are the only ones that adopt and give to charities etc. We only see so much of them cuz of the scandal and the Charity thing happen to be apart of her everyday life so we get to see that also, so please, they really need to get over themselves in regards to her, but she did look nice at the golden globe. But I don't respect her at all, and she ain't a role model to me even though she is charitable, everyone is and can be so the world needs to get over it.

Answer 2

Why not? She *is* a saint. Saint Angelina! Surely it would take a saint to say this about thier own child:

Shiloh's a blob
Angelina Jolie's adopted kids tugged at her heart strings a little bit more than her biological daughter did -- at least when she was first born.

"I think I feel so much more for Madd and Zee because they're survivors, they came through so much," Jolie says in the new issue of U.K. Elle.

"Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to feel for her...I met my other kids when they were 6 months old, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this...Yes, a blob! But now she's starting to have a personality...I'm conscious that I have to make sure I don't ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable."

Meanwhile, Jolie says she was horrified by attacks on Madonna about her adoption of a toddler from Malawi, but suggested the pop singer took a risk because of the African country's adoption laws, a French magazine reported.

"Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born," the 31-year-old actress was quoted as saying in this week's edition of Gala, a gossip magazine. "In that country, there isn't really a legal framework for adopting. Personally, I prefer to stay on the side of the law."

Okay maybe I'm with you guys.

Answer 3

This critic put it best: "Kate Kretz's painting comes closer to magazine illustration than to the subtle fine art you'd expect to see in a major museum of contemporary art. It gets its messages across, alright. It presents Angelina Jolie as our nation's Madonna of Consumption. In a glory of siliconed breasts, collagened lips and foreign-adopted cherubs, Angelina reigns over Wal-Mart's banality -- its all-American brands, its all-American flag, it's all-American obesity. The problem with the picture, art-wise, is that its messages are way TOO clear. It's more like a puzzle-picture than a probing work of art: Once you've deciphered it, there's not much chance of giving it a second look.

Answer 4

i think she is basically a good person with a good heart. she did more good deeds than u and i did.

i do agree that she isn't a saint. but u know what alot of the people who were considered saints sinned too.

Answer 5

I really admire her for her work in Africa and wherever else she helps at, and for adopting her kids, but she is far from a saint.
The whole living in sin part bothers me.
They should marry

Answer 6

Because the painter wants to draw attention with something controversial and possibly make money

Answer 7

Good question. I do not see a Saint in Angelina Jolie.

Answer 8

She is far from a Saint by her actions. But in the end she will be judged.

Answer 9

Thats so funny! I would like to get one of those paintings and hang it in my bathroom so when people see it on the john they are like " who the hell is that?"
