この文章について
とあるメーリングリストに流れたドキュメントを邦訳。未完？原著者不明。
１．割安株投資を学ぶ
ほとんどの人間が割安株（バリュー株）投資からスタートする。割安株投資といえば、バークシャーのバフェットが有名で、その手法に関するドキュメントはたくさん溢れている。中でもバフェット家からスピンアウトしたメアリーバフェットの本が特に有名なので、これを読むこと。
ただし、メアリーバフェットは何冊も同じテーマの本を出版している（バフェットの投資手法、バフェットの銘柄選択術、バフェットの教訓。はぁ、メアリー…）為、適当にチョイスした1冊を読めば十分であることと、割安株投資はもはや古典的手法であることを肝に銘じておくこと！
２．テクニカル投資を学ぶ
割安株投資で失敗すると、短い期間で売買して利益を上げることに興味を持つ。ただし、買うタイミング・売るタイミングを自分ひとりで判断してトレードを行うのには、想像以上の精神的負荷を負うことになる。
ここで、売買タイミングの指標が必要になり、その結果あなたはテクニカル投資を学ぶことになる。ただし、ほとんどのテクニカル投資は勝率が５０％前後であり、コイン投げとあまり変わらないのである。
３．トレンドライン投資を学ぶ
株式の売買において一番大切なことは、おそらくトレンドに乗って売買をおこなうことで、それは誰にでも簡単にできることではなく、ある程度の負けも許容しつつ、勝率をあげなければならない。それが意味することは、あなたはすばやく判断してすばやくロスカットしてすばやく利益確定を行わなければならないということで、そのためには十分な時間が必要となる。
４．指数投資を学ぶ
誰もが始めは個別銘柄への投資を上手く操れると考え、個別銘柄のみを取引する。そしてほとんどのプレイヤーは個別銘柄投資に叩きのめされる。「俺が選んだあの会社がなぜ損失を出したのだ！誰かなんとかしてくれ！」。このような経過を経た後、指数投資の割合を上げていくことになる。指数投資ってのはETFとかETNとか投資信託とかそういったやつのことだ。この考えは割りと悪くなく、個別投資よりも少ない調査でリスク管理できる。でもエキサイティングじゃないよね。
５．そして…取引ができなくなる！
人間というものはおもしろい作りになっていて、損失は最小限に食い止めつつ、最大限の利益を求めるという傾向がある。
２つのよくあるパターンを紹介しよう。
-パターン１
–保持している銘柄のうち、損失を抱えているものはあがるのを待ちつづける。
–保持している銘柄のうち、あがったものは売却。
はい、貧弱なポートフォリオの完成。
-パターン２
–保持している銘柄にディフェンシブストップを設定。そこに達したらロスカット。
–保持している銘柄があがったら、さらにあがるのではないかと感じる。そして反落。結果的にディフェンシブストップでロスカット。
はい、最強の浪費パートナーの登場。
どちらにしても、まずいスタイルであり、心理的にに取引できなくなっていく。これから取引する君は、その前によくあるパターンを知ることができてよかったね！（でも、おそらく回避できない。）
上手な取引を考える
スマートな取引とはどのようなものか。
１．機械的に取引する。
たとえば、「プラスマイナス５％で清算！」と決めて、確実にそれに従う。ただし、「ロスカットラインをもう少し下げよう。」「まだあがるかもしれない」などのように、気持ちが戸惑うことが多く、とても難しい。対策としては、慣れるか、そういう注文方法ができる証券会社を探して、注文後はその銘柄の値動きを見ないようにすること。
”ロスカット後に急騰したとしても、それはそれと割り切ること！”
２．学習する
機械的に取引ができるようになると、勝率は５０％５０％であると考えることができる。別名運頼み！この勝率を上げるために、金融・為替・国内外の経済について学習する。つねにニュースに気を配り、世界中の証券市場の動きをマークし（幸いNYの市場は一番最後にオープンするんだ！）、動向を予測する。よく、「根拠を持って買うこと」というが、これはおおいに正しい。
３．よくわからないときは、取引しない。
動向がよくわからないときは、何もしないのがベスト。取引に慣れていると、何もしていないことが、損失につながるように感じてくる。つまり、「明日株価が上がったら、ポジションなしは大損だ！」ということである。たいていの場合は、その逆のケースをわすれている。

はじめに
コンパイラくんについて
コンパイラの仕事は簡単。あなたが書いた、プログラムを記述するためのコードを、コンピュータが実行できる形式に変更する。この作業を「コンパイル」とよぶ。コンパイラはコンパイルする。ただそれだけ。
おおむねどのようなプログラム言語にも、コンパイラは登場するので覚えておいて損はない。
あなたがJavaで遊んでみるのなら、コンパイラを無視することはできない。
たとえあなたがこの世で一番優れたOSを開発したとして、それはありとあらゆる争い・貧困・大小さまざまな悩みを解決できるようなすばらしい物だったとしても、コンパイラがなくなってしまったら、それはただの妄想テキストになってしまう。ナンテコッタ。
つまり、もしコンパイルが上手くいったのなら、あなたはコンパイラ様を褒め称え、Papa Murphysのピザをおごってあげるのを忘れてはいけないよ。
∧
はい！ぼくコンパイラくん。
おっと、つい先走ってコンパイラ君を登場させてしまった。
コンパイラはいやというほど登場し、私たちを助けたり困らせたりするナイスキャラクターなので、私は何かキャラクター付けをしたらいいと考えた。
しかし私が考えるとIntelのCPUのような、何の変哲もないキャラクターになってしまう。
∧
やあ！ぼくコンパイラ。
こりゃ、目も当てられない。
そこで私は、クリスピー・クリーム・ドーナツと引き換えに、５歳の甥にデザインを依頼した。
∧
はい！ぼくコンパイラくん。
ナイスデザイン！（私が画像のスキャンに失敗したことは内緒にしておこう）
この私の努力の結果、あなたとコンパイラの長い付き合いが、いくらか楽しい物になったのだ。
さて、このコンパイラ君、なかなかの堅物である。あなたがコードのコンパイルを依頼したとする。そのコードが、あらかじめ設定されているルールに少しでも反している場合、すぐに警告をくらうことになる。
どんな些細なミスでも、
急いでいるときも、適当なときも、
ああ、もう！たまにはユーモラスにしたらどう？
「コンパイルできなかったよ。きみって#$"%!！」
職場が華やかになること間違いなし！（大火事プロジェクトでは、マシンが２，３台壊れるだろうけど…。）
なんにしてもコンパイラ君は、永遠にあなたに付きまとうのだ。
おバカなJava入門
変数
変数は値を入れておくための入れ物のことだ。
変数を使うには、使いたい場所より前の位置で、使うぞーと宣言する必要がある。
おおよそ次のような感じだ。
Integerとセミコロン(;)は今は無視。
これで、変数「あなたの脂肪」を自由に使うことができる。
それは本当に自由でどのように料理してもいいのだ。
たとえば、あなたの脂肪を記憶させたり、
運動して燃焼させてみたり、
ちょっとズルすることもできる。
足し算もへいちゃら！
これで、いつでもあいつと！”＃！％！したり、あの子と％＄”＆％＃したりできる。ワォ！（私は昨日、ジョージ・ブッシュにピザを作らせた。）
さあ、あなたも変数を作って暴挙の限りをつくすんだ！
変数の型
型、それはあなたのコードをより安全なものにする。
たとえばInteger。これは整数を扱うための型である。
この記述は、「Integerという型のyour_fatという変数に60を設定する。」と解釈される。
続いて文字列。文字はStringという型を使う。
// あなたのニックネーム = "ミスター脂肪"
このような型があるおかげで、数値だけを扱いたいのに文字を設定するような破天荒な行動をとってしまった場合、コンパイラ君が教えてくれるようになっている。
// あなたの脂肪 = "天文学的数値！！
∧
Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Integer
コンパイラ：文字はだめ！
数値
たとえば、100ドルと100ドルを足したければ、
と書けばよい。
同じく引き算は
掛け算と割り算は現実とちょっと異なり、掛け算は
割り算は
のように書けばよい。
どうやら桁区切りは使えないらしい。
∧
Syntax error on token XXXXX"!
コンパイラ：その記述、ヘンテコ！
数値の型
数値の取り扱いについて。
たとえば、あなたが数値を変数に入れておこうと思って、以下のように書いたとする。
∧
The literal 10000000000000 of type int is out of range;
コンパイラ：10000000000000は範囲外！
！？！？！？！ …範囲外？？数って無限じゃなかった？
実は数値型にはいくつか種類があり、整数の場合は４種類（！！！）ある。
|型|範囲|h
|Byte|-128〜+127|
|Short|-32768〜+32767|
|Integer|-2147483648〜+2147483647|
|Long|-9223372036854775808〜+9223372036854775807|
少数にも、2種類ある。
|型|範囲|h
|Float|約±3.40282347e＋38|
|Double|約±1.79769313486231570e＋308|
つまり、あなたの扱いたい数値がどの範囲に収まりそうなのか、整数なのか少数なのかということは、あなたが判断する必要があり、対応する型についても、あなたが指定する必要がある。おお、なんとういう悲劇。
それでは、秘策を伝授しよう。
これらは単純に内部の仕組みの問題なので、あなたはただ、整数ならLong、少数ならDoubleを使えばいい。ほんとうに、それだけ。ミスをしたのはあなたではなく、コンピュータなのだ。６種類もあるなんて！！！
∧
プリミティブなんて、アッチイケ！
…というのは冗談。
文字列
文字列はとても大切。文字列というのは"ジェリー･ビーンズ"や"ダフビール"のような、
ダブルクォートで囲んだ文字の羅列のことで、くっつけたり切り取ったり分解したり逆さまにしたり、比べたリすることもできちゃう。
たとえば、
String sayMom = "hello!"; // ママがhello!と言った
String sayDadAndMom = sayDad + sayMom; // パパとママは何て言ったか…
System.out.print(sayDadAndMom); //みてみる！
実行結果
wow!クール！
StringBuffer sayYou = new StringBuffer("madam, im adam");
// ひっくりかえしてみよう
String sayYouReverse = sayYou.reverse().toString();
System.out.println(sayYouReverse); //みてみる
実行結果
wow!簡単！
ここまでのまとめ
まとめ！簡単に言うとJavaには数値と文字列しかない。それをどうグルーピングして、どんな風にまとめて、どう使うかという問題だけ。
ネ、簡単でしょ！？
グループ化の手段１ 配列
ばらばらの１００人の子供たちがいる。
「５人ここに来て！」
子供たちは混乱する。１００人の中から５人、誰が行けばよいのだろう。
「青い帽子の子が何人いるか数えてみよう」
あなたは混乱する。子供たちはバラバラだ。あの子はさっきカウントしたっけ？
では、２０人の子供たちを一列に並べてみよう。
５人あつめたければ、「先頭から５人、集合！」と言えばいい。「先頭から１つ飛びで５人」でもいい。
青い帽子の子を数えたければ、先頭から順番に数えていけばいい。
この考え方はJavaでも利用することができる。
children[0] = "mary"; // 一人目はマリー
children[1] = "george"; // 二人目はジョージ
// …以下、続く
children[99] = "tom"; // 最後はトム！
これで子供たちが１００人並んだ。１００個の入れ物。番号は０〜９９の１００個。
５番目の子の名前を見てみる。
結果
５番目はKevin。
全部で何人いるかな？
結果
オッケー。
ちなみに配列がないと…
String children1 = "george"; // 二人目はジョージ
// …以下、続く
String children99 = "tom"; // 最後はトム！
全部で何人いるかな？
さぁ、１２個の大きさの配列を作ってあなたの今年の脂肪量を記録してみよう！！
グループ化の手段２ クラス
配列だけじゃ、多彩なグルーピングには対抗できない。配列でどうやって健康診断の結果を表そう…うぇーゾッとする！
こういうときには、クラスを使うと結構いいかも。配列が整列のための仕組みだとすると、クラスは自由に組み立てることができる色つきブロックみたいなものだ。
-薄い茶色と茶色と薄い茶色でハンバーガー！
-真ん中を緑に変えて、レタスサンド！
こんな具合だ。
ではやってみよう。パイ！
箱を作る
}
何が必要？うーん、生地！
String dough;
}
あとは、中身！
String dough;
String filling;
}
よし、完成。
では、ブルーベリーパイを作ってみる。
blueberryPie.dough = "goodroast!"; // よく焼いて
blueberryPie.filling = "blueberry"; // ブルーベリー！

After appearing as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in the 1982 film Lookin’ to Get Out, Jolie’s acting career began in earnest a decade later with the low budget production Cyborg 2 (1993) and she played her first leading role in a major film in Hackers (1995). She appeared in the critically acclaimed biographical films George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999). She achieved international fame as a result of her portrayal of videogame heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (2001), and since then has established herself as one of the best known and highest paid actresses in Hollywood. She had her biggest commercial success with the action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005).[2]
1982年に父親のJon Voightと映画「Lookin’ to Get Out」に出演してから10年後、low budget productionの「Cyborg 2（1993）」に出演し、本格的に女優としての道が始まりました。初の主演作品は「Hackers(1995)」です。他の出演作として、特に賞賛された伝記映画のGeorge Wallace (1997)とGia (1998)、Academy AwardのBest Supporting Actressを受賞したInterrupted (1999)があります。ビデオゲームTomb Raider(2001)のヒロインLara Croftを演じたことで、国際的な名声を高め、ハリウッドでの有名で高収入な地位を確立しました。

Early life and family
Born Angelina Jolie Voight in Los Angeles, California, she is the daughter of actors Jon Voight and the late Marcheline Bertrand. Jolie is the niece of Chip Taylor, sister of James Haven and the god-daughter of Jacqueline Bisset and Maximilian Schell. On her father’s side, she is of Czechoslovakian and German descent,[4][5] and on her mother’s side she is French Canadian and is said to be part "Iroquois",[6][7] although Bertrand’s alleged Native American ancestry was once disputed by Voight in an interview in 2001.[8]
若年期の生活と家族
Angelina Jolie Voightは、CaliforniaのLos Angelesで俳優であるJon Voightと故Marcheline Bertrandの間に生まれました。JolieはChip Taylorの姪で、James Havenの妹、そして名付け親は、Jacqueline BissetとMaximilian Schellです。父親はチェコスロバキアとドイツの家系、母親はフランス系のカナダ人で、イロクイ語を話します。母親はネイティブアメリカンの家系であると主張しており、2001年のインタビューで父親が議論したことがあります。

-dispute 議論、口論
After her parents’ separation in 1976, Jolie and her brother were raised by their mother, who abandoned her acting ambitions and moved with them to Palisades, New York.[9] As a child Jolie regularly saw movies with her mother and later explained that this had inspired her interest in acting; she had not been influenced by her father.[10] When she was 11, the family moved back to Los Angeles and Jolie decided she wanted to act and enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she trained for two years and appeared in several stage productions. She later recalled her time as a student at Beverly Hills High School (later Moreno High School), and her feeling of isolation among the children of some of the area’s more affluent families. Jolie’s mother survived on a more modest income, and Jolie often wore second-hand clothes. She was teased by other students who also targeted her for her distinctive features, for being extremely thin, and for wearing glasses and braces.[10] Her self esteem was further diminished when her initial attempts at modeling proved unsuccessful. As her despondency grew, she started to cut herself; later commenting during an appearance on CNN, "I collected knives and always had certain things around. For some reason, the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain, maybe feeling alive, feeling some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me."[11] At 14, she dropped out of her acting classes and dreamed of becoming a funeral director.[12] Her self-loathing led her to embark on a rebellious period in her life; she wore black, dyed her hair purple and went out moshing with her live-in boyfriend.[10] Two years later, after the relationship had ended, she rented an apartment above a garage a few blocks from her mother’s home.[9] She returned to theatre studies and graduated from high school, though in recent time she has referred to this period with the observation, "I am still at heart—and always will be—just a punk kid with tattoos".[13]
1976年の両親の離婚後、Jolieと兄は女優の道をあきらめた母親と共にNewYorkのPalisadesに移り住みました。子供のころのJolieは定期的に母親の映画を見ており、俳優への強い刺激と興味を得たことを後に説明しています。また、父親からは影響を受けなかったようです。11歳のときに、家族はLos Angelesへ移り住みました。同時にJolieは俳優の目標をかなえるために、Lee Strasberg Theatre Instituteに入学しました。そこで2年間のトレーニングといくつかの舞台に出演しました。その後のBeverly Hills High School（後のMoreno High School）時代には、同じエリアの裕福な子供たちとの格差を感じました。母親は最低限の収入で生活しており、Jolieはしばしば中古の衣類を着ていました。同級生からは、メガネをかけて歯列矯正しているなどの独特な特徴から、いじめのターゲットにされていました。
彼女の最初の試みであるモデルへの挑戦の失敗により、彼女の自尊心はさらに小さくなりました。そして、そのあまりの落胆の大きさに自身の体を切りつけ始めました。後のCNN出演中に、自身でコメントしています。「ナイフを集め、いつも持ち歩いていました（←訳微妙）。自身を傷つける痛みによって、生きている感覚、解放される感覚を感じていたのでしょう。どうにかして自分自身を癒したかったのです。」14歳で俳優教室をやめた後、葬儀屋の道を目指すことを夢見ました。彼女の自己嫌悪は、やがて彼女の人生を反抗的な方向へと導きました。黒い服を着て、髪の毛は紫。ボーイフレンドとの同棲生活も始めました。2年が経過して彼との関係が終わった後、彼女は母親の家から数ブロックの場所に、賃貸アパートを借りました。

Jolie has been long estranged from her father, blaming his infidelity for the break-up of the family, though a reconciliation was attempted, and he appeared with her in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. In July 2002, Jolie filed a request to legally change her name to "Angelina Jolie", dropping Voight as her surname; the name change was made official on September 12, 2002.[14] In August of the same year, Voight claimed that his daughter had "serious emotional problems" on Access Hollywood. In the October 2004 issue of Premiere Magazine, Jolie indicated that she no longer wished to pursue a relationship with her father, and said, "My father and I don’t speak. I don’t hold any anger toward him. I don’t believe that somebody’s family becomes their blood. Because my son’s adopted, and families are earned." She stated that she did not want to publicize her reasons for her estrangement from her father, but because she had adopted her son, she did not think it was healthy for her to associate with Voight.[15]
Early work, 1993–1997
Jolie began working as a fashion model at 14. She was signed with Finesse Model Management and modeled in both the United States and Europe, working mainly in Los Angeles, New York and London. She also appeared in numerous music videos, including those of the Rolling Stones ("Anybody seen My Baby"), Antonello Venditti ("Alta Marea") and Lenny Kravitz ("Stand by My Woman"). At the age of 16 Jolie returned to theatre, and played her first role as a German dominatrix. She began to learn from her father, as she noticed his method of observing people to become like them. Their relationship during this time was less strained, with Jolie realizing that they were both "drama queens".[10]
She appeared as Gina Malacici in the 1996 comedy Love Is All There Is, a modern-day loose adaptation of Romeo and Juliet set among two rival Italian family restaurant owners in Bronx, New York. In the road movie Mojave Moon she was a youngster, named Eleanor Rigby, who falls for Danny Aiello, while he takes a shine to her mother, Anne Archer. Still in 1996 she played Margret "Legs" Sadovsky, one of five teenage girls who form an unlikely bond in the film Foxfire after they beat up a teacher who has sexually harassed them. The Los Angeles Times wrote about Jolie’s performance, "It took a lot of hogwash to develop this character, but Jolie, Jon Voight’s knockout daughter, has the presence to overcome the stereotype. Though the story is narrated by Maddy, Legs is the subject and the catalyst."[18]
In 1997 Jolie starred with David Duchovny in the thriller Playing God, a film portraying a famed L.A. surgeon who is stripped of his medical license and is lured deep into the criminal world where he meets Jolie’s character, Claire. The movie was not received well by critics and Roger Ebert noted that "Angelina Jolie finds a certain warmth in a kind of role that is usually hard and aggressive; she seems too nice to be [a criminal's] girlfriend, and maybe she is."[19] She then appeared in the TV movie True Women, a historical romantic drama set in the West, and based on the book by Janice Woods Windle. She also appeared as a stripper in the Rolling Stones music video for the song "Anybody Seen My Baby?"
Breakthrough, 1997–2000
Jolie’s career prospects began to improve after her performance as Cornelia Wallace in the 1997 biopic George Wallace for which she won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy. The film was highly praised by critics and, among other awards, received the Golden Globe for "Best Miniseries/Motion Picture made for TV". She played the second wife of the segregationist Governor of Alabama who was shot and paralyzed while running for President. The film starred Gary Sinise and was directed by John Frankenheimer.
In 1998 Jolie starred in HBO’s Gia, as the supermodel, Gia Carangi. The film depicted a world of sex, drugs and emotional drama, and chronicled the destruction of Carangi’s life and career as a result of her drug addiction, and her decline and death from AIDS. Vanessa Vance from Reel.com noted, "Angelina Jolie gained wide recognition for her role as the titular Gia, and it’s easy to see why. Jolie is fierce in her portrayal—filling the part with nerve, charm, and desperation—and her role in this film is quite possibly the most beautiful train wreck ever filmed."[20] For the second consecutive year, Jolie won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy. She also won her first Screen Actors Guild Award. In accordance with Lee Strasberg’s method acting Jolie reportedly prefers to stay in character in between scenes during many of her films, and as a result has gained a reputation for being difficult to deal with. While shooting Gia, she told her then-husband Jonny Lee Miller that she wouldn’t be able to phone him. "I’d tell him: ‘I’m alone; I’m dying; I’m gay; I’m not going to see you for weeks.’"[21]
Following Gia, Jolie moved to New York and stopped acting for a short period of time, because she felt that she had "nothing else to give". She enrolled at New York University to study filmmaking and attended writing classes. She described it as "just good for me to collect myself" on Inside the Actors Studio.[22]
Jolie returned to film as Gloria McNeary in the 1998 gangster movie Hell’s Kitchen, and later that year was part of an ensemble cast that included Sean Connery, Gillian Anderson, Ryan Phillippe and Jon Stewart in Playing by Heart. The drama tells the story of several seemingly unconnected characters, with Jolie playing a young club-scene hipster, Joan. The film received predominantly positive reviews and Jolie was praised in particular. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Jolie, working through an overwritten part, is a sensation as the desperate club crawler learning truths about what she’s willing to gamble."[23] Jolie won the Breakthrough Performance Award by the National Board of Review.
In 1999 she starred in Mike Newell’s comedy-drama Pushing Tin, about two air traffic controllers who engage in macho conflict, co-starring alongside John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, and Cate Blanchett. Jolie played Thornton’s seductive wife Mary Bell. The film received a lukewarm reception from critics and Jolie’s character was particularly criticized. The Washington Post wrote, "Mary (Angelina Jolie), a completely ludicrous writer’s creation of a free-spirited woman who weeps over hibiscus plants that die, wears lots of turquoise rings and gets real lonely when Russell spends entire nights away from home."[24] She then worked with Denzel Washington in The Bone Collector, an adapted crime novel written by Jeffery Deaver. Jolie played Amelia Donaghy, a police officer haunted by her cop father’s suicide who reluctantly helps Washington track down a serial killer. The movie grossed $151 million worldwide,[2] but was a critical failure; the Detroit Free Press concluded, "Jolie, while always delicious to look at, is simply and woefully miscast."[25]
Jolie next took the supporting role of Lisa Rowe alongside Winona Ryder in Girl, Interrupted (1999), a film that tells the story of mental patient Susanna Kaysen, and which was adapted from Kaysen’s original memoir Girl, Interrupted. While the lead role of the film was Ryder’s character, and hoped to be a comeback for Ryder, the film instead became the "welcome-to-Hollywood coronation" for Jolie.[26] Jolie won her third Golden Globe, her second Screen Actors Guild Award and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Variety noted, "Jolie is excellent as the flamboyant, irresponsible girl who turns out to be far more instrumental than the doctors in Susanna’s rehabilitation"[27] and Roger Ebert wrote about her performance:
“ Jolie is emerging as one of the great wild spirits of current movies, a loose cannon who somehow has deadly aim.[28] ”
In 2000 Jolie appeared in her first summer blockbuster Gone In 60 Seconds, in which she played Sarah "Sway" Wayland, ex-girlfriend of car-thief Nicolas Cage. The role was small, and the Washington Post criticized that "all she does in this movie is stand around, cooling down, modeling those fleshy, pulsating muscle-tubes that nest so provocatively around her teeth."[29] She later explained that the film was a welcome relief after the heavy role of Lisa Rowe, and it became her highest grossing movie up until then, with $237 million internationally.[2]
International success, 2001–present
Although highly regarded for her acting abilities, Jolie’s films to date had often not appealed to a wide audience, but Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) made her an international superstar. An adaptation of the popular Tomb Raider videogame, Jolie was required to master a British accent and undergo extensive martial arts training to play the title role of Lara Croft. She was generally praised for her physical performance, but the movie generated mostly negative reviews. Slant Magazine commented, "Angelina Jolie was born to play Lara Croft but [director] Simon West makes her journey into a game of Frogger."[30] The movie was a huge international success nonetheless, earning $275 million worldwide,[2] and started her reputation as a female action star.
Jolie then starred alongside Antonio Banderas as the mail-order bride Julia Russell in Original Sin, a thriller based on the novel Waltz into Darkness by Cornell Woolrich. The film was a major critical failure, with The New York Times noting, "The story plunges more precipitously than Ms. Jolie’s neckline."[31] In 2002, she played Lanie Kerrigan in Life or Something Like It, a film about an ambitious TV reporter who is told that she will die in a week. The film was poorly received by critics, though Jolie’s performance received positive reviews. CNN’s Paul Clinton wrote, "Jolie is excellent in her role. Despite some of the ludicrous plot points in the middle of the film, this Academy Award-winning actress is exceedingly believable in her journey towards self-discovery and the true meaning of fulfilling life."[32]
In 2004, Jolie starred alongside Ethan Hawke in the thriller Taking Lives, as Illeana Scott, an FBI profiler summoned to help Montreal law enforcement hunt down a serial killer. The movie received mixed reviews and The Hollywood Reporter concluded, "Angelina Jolie plays a role that definitely feels like something she has already done, but she does add an unmistakable dash of excitement and glamour."[34] She also provided the voice of Lola, an angelfish in the animated DreamWorks movie Shark Tale; the cast included Will Smith, Martin Scorsese, Renée Zellweger, Jack Black and Robert De Niro. Also in 2004, Jolie had a brief appearance as Franky in Kerry Conran’s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, a science fiction adventure film shot with actors entirely in front of a bluescreen, with all the sets and nearly all of the props computer-generated. Jolie then played Olympias in Alexander (2004), Oliver Stone’s biopic about the life of Alexander the Great. The film failed domestically, with Stone attributing its poor reception to disapproval of the depiction of Alexander’s homosexuality,[35] but it succeeded internationally, with revenue of $139 million outside the United States.[2] Newsday wrote of Jolie’s performance, "Jolie is the only one in the picture who seems to be having any fun with her role, and one misses her whenever she’s off-screen."[36]
Jolie next appeared in Robert De Niro’s The Good Shepherd (2006),[38] a film about the early history of the CIA, as seen through the eyes of Edward Wilson, played by Matt Damon. Jolie co-stared as Margaret Russell, Wilson’s neglected wife who becomes increasingly discontented by the effects of his work. The Chicago Tribune commented on her role, "Jolie ages convincingly throughout, and is blithely unconcerned with how her brittle character is coming off in terms of audience sympathy."[39]
In 2007, Jolie made her directorial debut with the documentary A Place in Time, which captures the life in 27 locations around the globe during a single week and features fellow actors such as Jude Law, Hilary Swank, Colin Farrell and Jonny Lee Miller.[40] Jolie starred as Mariane Pearl in Michael Winterbottom’s documentary-style drama A Mighty Heart (2007), about the kidnap and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan. The film is based on Mariane Pearl’s memoirs A Mighty Heart and had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. The Hollywood Reporter described Jolie’s performance as "well-measured and moving", played "with respect and a firm grasp on a difficult accent."[41]
Her confirmed future projects include the animated movies Beowulf, playing Grendel’s mother, and Kung Fu Panda. Jolie will also appear in Wanted, an action film based on a graphic novel by Mark Millar, and she was cast as Dagny Taggart in the movie adaptation of Atlas Shrugged.[42]
Humanitarian work
Jolie first became personally aware of worldwide humanitarian crises while filming Tomb Raider in poverty-stricken and widely mined Cambodia. According to Jolie, "I discovered things about what’s happening in the world… Cambodia was really eye opening for me."[43] Deeply affected by these experiences, she eventually turned to UNHCR for more information on international trouble spots. In the following months she agreed to visit different refugee camps around the world to learn more about the situation and the conditions in these areas. In February 2001, Jolie went on her first field visit, an 18-day mission to Sierra Leone and Tanzania; she later expressed her shock at what she had witnessed.[44] In the coming months she returned to Cambodia for two weeks and later visited Afghan refugees in Pakistan where she donated $1 million for Afghan refugees in response to an international UNHCR emergency appeal.[45] She insisted on covering all costs related to her missions and shared the same rudimentary working and living conditions as UNHCR field staff on all of her visits.[44] Impressed by her interest and devotion in the subject, UNHCR named her a Goodwill Ambassador on August 27, 2001 at UNHCR headquarters in Geneva, despite her warning that her controversial public image might shed a negative light on the U.N.[46] In a press conference Jolie explained her motives for joining the refugee agency:
“ We cannot close ourselves off to information and ignore the fact that millions of people are out there suffering. I honestly want to help. I don’t believe I feel differently from other people. I think we all want justice and equality, a chance for a life with meaning. All of us would like to believe that if we were in a bad situation someone would help us.[44] ”
During her first three years as Goodwill Ambassador Jolie concentrated her efforts on field missions, visiting refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) all around the world. Asked what she hoped to accomplish, she stated, “Awareness of the plight of these people. I think they should be commended for what they have survived, not looked down upon.”[47] In 2002, Jolie visited Tham Hin refugee camp in Thailand and Colombian refugees in Ecuador to take a closer look at the “Western Hemisphere’s most severe humanitarian crisis”.[48] She and US Secretary of State Colin Powell opened events to celebrate World Refugee Day 2002 on June 20 in Washington, D.C.[49] Jolie then went to various UNHCR facilities in Kosovo and paid a visit to Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya with refugees mainly from Sudan. UNHCR’s Representative to Kenya, George Okoth-Obbo, praised her “presence, just to bring some joy into what is undoubtedly a hard life for many of the people here”.[50] She also visited Angolan refugees while she was filming Beyond Borders in Namibia.
In 2003, Jolie embarked on a six-day mission to Tanzania where she traveled to western border camps, hosting Congolese refugees and she paid a week-long visit to Sri Lanka, where she saw the post–war conditions in northern Sri Lanka. Jolie again attended World Refugee Day on June 20 in Washington, D.C., and later concluded a four-day mission to Russia as she traveled to North Caucasus to learn about all aspects of UNHCR’s operations in the region. Concurrently with the release of her movie Beyond Borders in October 2003 she published Notes from My Travels, a collection of journal entries that chronicle her early field missions (2001-2002). All her proceeds from the book went to UNHCR. During a private stay in Jordan in December 2003 she asked to visit Ruwaished camp in Jordan’s remote eastern desert, 70 km from the Iraqi border. The camp hosted some 800 people who had fled Iraq during the U.S.-led invasion and later that month she visited Sudanese refugees near the Egyptian capital in Kilo Arbaa We Nus.
On her first U.N. trip within the United States, Jolie went to Arizona in 2004, visiting detained asylum seekers at three facilities and the Southwest Key Program, a facility for unaccompanied children in Phoenix. With the humanitarian situation in Sudan worsening, she flew to Chad in June 2004, paying a visit to border sites and camps for refugees who had fled fighting in western Sudan’s Darfur region. Four months later she returned to the region, this time going directly into West Darfur to learn about the situation of thousands of IDPs. She stressed the need for security and access to displaced people’s home villages at a press conference in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. On June 18, 2004 she and US Secretary of State Colin Powell met again in Washington to launch the three day events of World Refugee Day.[51] Also in 2004 Jolie visited Afghan refugees in Thailand and on a private stay to Lebanon during the Christmas holidays she visited UNHCR’s regional office in Beirut, as well as some young refugees and cancer patients in the Lebanese capital.
“ As much as I would love to never have to visit Washington, that’s the way to move the ball.[46] ”
Among others, she pushed for The Unaccompanied Alien Child Protection Act in reaction to her previous visit to facilities for asylum seekers in Arizona. On March 8, 2005 Jolie took part at a National Press Club luncheon in Washington, D.C. where she promoted the bill and in support of it announced the founding of the National Center for Refugee and Immigrant Children, an organization that provides free legal-aid to asylum-seeking children with no legal representation which Jolie personally funded with a donation of $500,000 for its first two years.[52] The Unaccompanied Alien Child Protection Act eventually passed in December 2005. Jolie also pushed for a bill to aid 70 million vulnerable children in the Third World which was signed by President Bush in November 2005, but so far no funding has been granted.[46] In addition to her political involvement, Jolie began using the public’s interest in her to promote humanitarian causes through the mass media. In May 2005 Jolie filmed a MTV special, The Diary Of Angelina Jolie & Dr. Jeffrey Sachs in Africa, portraying her and noted economist Dr. Jeffrey Sachs on their trip to Sauri, a remote group of villages in Western Kenya. There, Sachs’s United Nations Millennium Project team is working with locals to end poverty, hunger and disease. In September 2006 Jolie announced the founding of the Jolie/Pitt Foundation which made initial donations to Global Action for Children and Doctors Without Borders of $1 million each.[53]
Jolie visited Pakistani camps containing Afghan refugees, in May 2005 and she also met with Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. She returned to Pakistan with Brad Pitt during the Thanksgiving weekend in November to see the impact of the October 8 Kashmir earthquake. They met many quake victims as well as President Musharraf. In 2006 Jolie and Pitt flew to Haiti and visited a school supported by Yéle Haïti, a charity founded by Haitian-born hip hop musician Wyclef Jean. Jolie also arranged a deal with People allowing them to print the first picture showing her visibly pregnant in exchange for a $500,000 donation to Yéle Haïti.[54] In November 2006, while filming A Mighty Heart in India, she visited Afghan and Burmese refugees in New Delhi and met the Minister of State for External Affairs, Anand Sharma, praising India’s longstanding hospitality to refugees. Jolie spent Christmas Day with Colombian refugees in San José, Costa Rica where she handed out presents and met with Costa Rican officials. In February 2007, Jolie returned to Chad for a two-day mission to assess the deteriorating security situation for refugees from the Darfur region of Sudan. In an op-ed for the Washington Post she stressed the need for justice and the increased involvement of the International Criminal Court to establish an enduring peace.[55] In May, Jolie and Pitt donated $1 million to three relief organizations in Darfur and neighbouring Chad.[56]
Jolie has received wide recognition for her humanitarian work. On October 24, 2003 she was the first recipient of the new created Citizen of the World Award by the United Nations Correspondents Association. Cambodia’s King Norodom Sihamoni awarded Jolie Cambodian citizenship for her conservation work in the country on August 12, 2005; she has pledged $5 million to set up a wildlife sanctuary in the north-western province of Battambang and owns property there.[57] On October 12, 2005, Jolie was awarded the Global Humanitarian Award by the UNA-USA.[58] In February 2007, she was accepted by the bipartisan think tank Council on Foreign Relations for a special five-year term designed to "nurture the next generation of foreign policy makers".[59]
Relationships
On March 28, 1996, Jolie married British actor Jonny Lee Miller, her co-star in the film Hackers. She attended her wedding in black leather trousers and a white shirt, which had her groom’s name painted in her blood on the back.[42] Jolie and Miller separated one year later and subsequently divorced on February 3, 1999. They remained on good terms and Jolie later explained, "It comes down to timing. I think he’s the greatest husband a girl could ask for. I’ll always love him, we were simply too young."[21]
She then married American actor Billy Bob Thornton, who she had met on the set of Pushing Tin, on May 5, 2000. As a result of their frequent public declarations of passion and gestures of love (most famously wearing one another’s blood in vials around their necks), their relationship became a favorite topic of the entertainment media.[42] Jolie and Thornton divorced on May 27, 2003. Asked in Vogue about the sudden dissolution of their marriage, Jolie stated, "It took me by surprise, too, because overnight, we totally changed. I think one day we had just nothing in common. And it’s scary but… I think it can happen when you get involved and you don’t know yourself yet."[60]
In early 2005, Jolie was involved in a well-publicized Hollywood scandal when she was accused of being the "other woman" in the divorce of actors Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. The allegation was that she and Pitt had started an affair during filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith; however, she has denied this in several interviews. In an interview with Ann Curry in 2005, she explained, "To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife."[62]
While Jolie and Pitt never publicly commented about the nature of their relationship, speculations continued throughout 2005. The first intimate paparazzi photos emerged in April, one month after Aniston had filed for divorce; they show Pitt, Jolie and her son Maddox at a beach in Kenya. During the summer Jolie and Pitt were seen together with increasing frequency and most of the entertainment media considered them a couple, dubbing them "Brangelina". On January 11, 2006 Jolie confirmed to People that she was pregnant with Pitt’s child and thereby confirmed their relationship for the first time in public.[42]
Children
On March 10, 2002, Jolie adopted her first child, Maddox Chivan Jolie-Pitt (originally Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie[14]). He was born on August 5 2001, as Rath Vibol in Cambodia and he initially lived in a local orphanage in Battambang. Jolie decided to apply for adoption after she had visited Cambodia twice, while filming Tomb Raider and on a UNHCR field trip in 2001. After her divorce from her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie received sole custody of Maddox. His name is Celtic in origin, usually translated as "beneficent",[63] and like Jolie’s other children, Maddox has gained a considerable celebrity and appears regularly in the tabloid media; he was named the "cutest celebrity kid,"[64] and he is known for his mohawk hairstyle.
On July 6, 2005, Jolie adopted a six-month-old girl from Ethiopia, Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt (originally Zahara Marley Jolie), who was orphaned by AIDS. Zahara was born on January 8, 2005 as Tena Adam.[65] Jolie picked her up at a Wide Horizons For Children orphanage in Addis Ababa. Shortly after they returned to the United States Zahara had to spend time in a hospital for dehydration and malnutrition. Jolie stated that "she was six months and not nine pounds. Her skin, you could squeeze it, it stuck together."[42] Zahara’s name means "flower" in Swahili, the second name "Marley" comes from late Jamaican reggae superstar Bob Marley.[63]
Brad Pitt was reportedly present when Jolie signed the adoption papers and collected her daughter;[42] later Jolie indicated that she and Pitt made the decision to adopt Zahara together.[66] In December 2005 it was confirmed that Pitt was seeking to legally adopt Jolie’s two children, and on January 19, 2006, a judge in California approved this request. The children’s legal surnames were formally changed to "Jolie-Pitt".[67]
On May 27, 2006, Jolie gave birth to a daughter named Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, at night at the Cottage Medi-Clinic Hospital in Swakopmund, Namibia. Shiloh was born by a scheduled caesarean section, due to breech presentation, and Pitt was there to cut her umbilical cord. Shiloh, according to a long-standing translation from the Bible, has come to mean "the peaceful one".[63] Pitt confirmed that their newly-born daughter will have a Namibian passport while speaking to local journalists,[68] and Jolie decided to offer the first pictures of Shiloh through the distributor Getty Images herself, rather than allowing paparazzi to make these extremely valuable snapshots. People paid more than $4.1 million for the North American rights, while British magazine Hello! obtained the international rights for roughly $3.5 million; the total rights sale earned up to $10 million worldwide – the most expensive celebrity image of all time.[69] All profits were donated to an undisclosed charity by Jolie and Pitt. On July 26, 2006 Madame Tussauds in New York unveiled a wax figure of two-month-old Shiloh; it was the first infant re-created in wax by Madame Tussauds.[70]
On March 15, 2007, Jolie adopted a three-year-old boy from Vietnam, Pax Thien Jolie, who was born on November 29, 2003 and abandoned at birth at a local hospital, where he was initially named Pham Quang Sang.[71] Jolie collected the boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City.[72] His new name is a combination of the Latin word for "peace" and the Vietnamese word for "sky" or "heaven."[63] In April 2007, Jolie filed a petition to officially change his surname to "Jolie-Pitt".[73] On The Daily Show, Jolie revealed that her new son’s name was suggested by her mother before her death.[74]
Jolie in the media
Jolie appeared in the media from an early age due to her famous father Jon Voight. At 7 she had a small part in Lookin’ to Get Out, a movie co-written by and starring her father, and in 1986 and 1988 she attended the Academy Awards as a teenager with him. However, when she started her acting career, Jolie decided not to use “Voight” as a stage name, because she wished to establish her own identity as an actress.[42] Jolie was never shy about controversy and integrated her teenage "wild girl" image into her public persona in the first years of her career. During her acceptance speech at the 2000 Academy Awards, Jolie declared "I’m so in love with my brother right now" which, combined with her affectionate behavior towards him that night, sparked rumors in the tabloid media of an incestuous relationship with her brother James Haven. She has denied those rumors and said while appearing on Inside the Actors Studio “the world is a lot sicker than I thought”.[22] Jolie and Haven later explained in interviews that after their parents’ divorce they relied on one another and because of that they hold on to each other as a means of emotional support.[42]
Starting in 2005, her relationship with Brad Pitt became one of the most reported celebrity stories worldwide. After Jolie confirmed her pregnancy in early 2006, the unprecedented media hype surrounding them "reached the point of insanity" as Reuters described it in their story "The Brangelina fever";[3] among others, there were several false wedding rumors including an alleged imminent wedding in Laglio, Italy that was even further ignited by the local mayor and was picked up by many noted news services like the Associated Press and the BBC.[78] Trying to avoid the media attention, the couple went to Namibia for the birth of “the most anticipated baby since Jesus Christ”, as it has been described.[79]
Today, Jolie is one of the best known celebrities around the world. According to the Q Score survey by Marketing Evaluations Inc., in 2000, subsequent to her Oscar win, 31% of respondents in the United States said Jolie was familiar to them, by 2006 she was familiar to 81% of Americans.[46] In a 2006 global industry survey by ACNielsen in 42 international markets Jolie, together with Brad Pitt, was found to be the favorite celebrity endorser for brands and products worldwide.[80] Also in 2006, Jolie was among the Time 100, a list of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time,[81] she was featured on the cover of Forbes "The Celebrity 100" edition, ranking at No. 35,[82] and she was described as the world’s most beautiful woman in the "100 Most Beautiful" issue of People.[83] In February 2007, she was voted the greatest sex symbol of all time in the British Channel 4 television show The 100 Greatest Sex Symbols.[1] In 2007, Jolie was named as one of the Power Givers by Time Magazine.[84]
Tattoos
Jolie’s inventory of tattoos has become the subject of much media attention and has often been addressed by interviewers. Jolie stated that, while she is not opposed to film nudity, the large number of tattoos on her body has forced filmmakers to become more creative when planning nude or love scenes.[85] Make-up has been used to cover up the tattoos in many of her productions. She frequently adds or even changes existing tattoos and has said that all the tattoos she possesses have a special meaning. Jolie currently has 13 known tattoos, among them a Tennessee Williams quote "A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages" which she got together with her mother, the Arabic phrase "العزيمة" (strength of will), the Latin proverb "quod me nutrit me destruit" (what nourishes me also destroys me),[86] and a Buddhist Pali prayer written in the Khmer script for her son Maddox.[87] She also has four sets of geographical coordinates on her left shoulder indicating the birthplaces of her children.[88] She also, reportedly, has the coordinates of her partner Brad Pitt’s birthplace tattooed on her butt. Over time she covered or lasered several of her tattoos, including "Billy Bob", the name of her former husband Billy Bob Thornton, a Chinese character for death (死) and a window on her lower back; she explained that she removed the window, because, while she used to spend all of her time looking out through windows wishing to be outside, she now lives there all of the time.[22].
