I've seen enough, give Angelina Jolie the Oscar already,' one fan added, while another shared, 'give angelina jolie the oscar already for her interpretation as maria callas!' During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly , director Pablo Larrain recalled working with Angelina and shooting a specific scene that brought him to tears. 'We did that on the last day of shooting. We kept it for the very, very end.
We had six-to-eight hours to do that. I operated the camera, so I was close to her, always.' He expressed, 'Angelina had to sing it out loud, with all of her power and humanity.
By doing so, I asked her to feel the emotion and feel how broken she was in this moment of joy.' The filmmaker added that, 'sort of mix of demands and emotions was something very hard to do' and admitted he 'couldn't believe how beautiful what was happening in front of the camera.' 'I was in shock.
I was moved to tears as I saw her burning herself to the point that I think it concludes the movie in an operatic way.'

'It took many months of singing classes. Months of just getting the singing down and then the Italian classes and then the voice and doing all these things like her. You try to be precise,' she explained.
'I would recommend almost every human being take an opera class. To exist and never have sung with your full body as loud as you could possibly sing..
.' Jolie continued, 'It's something I think we should all feel. It's scary, and it is rarely asked of us.
It's rarely asked of us in life to be all that we can be or feel all that we feel.' Two of her children, Maddox, 23, and Pax, 20 - whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt - also helped out on the production. 'Mad and Pax were on this one.
Doing AD [assistant directing] work. They've done that quite a few times, and I think that's good for them.' He expressed, 'Angelina had to sing it out loud, with all of her power and humanity.

'Pax tends to do stills and he gets brought in, and [director] Pablo was wonderful and recognized that he was good at it,' she added.
Angelina also revealed the reason why she decided to step back in front of the camera - and explained that she didn't need to be home as much for her kids. 'They're a bit older, getting more independent. I'm less needed and so able to go away for different periods of time.
' She added, 'And they're old enough to join me at work. It's a new season in our lives. I'm very excited for them to be coming into their own more and more every day.
