Mr & Mrs Smith
In the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Angelina Jolie plays the role of “dangerous femininity” in many parts of the movie. Angelina Jolie who plays, Jane Smith, in the movie works for a Spy agency that specializes in killing people. Jane Smith has 5 female assistants that work with her in the deadly business. Jane has no mercy for others which are show in many scenes. In one scene she admits to killing upwards of 100 people which is way more than her husband, John Smit who is played by Brad Pitt, who works at a cross town assassin company that rivals Jane’s company. Angelina is also portrayed as the dangerous femininity as it shows that she doesn’t belong in the house as a typical wife because for 5 years she acted like she made dinner but in reality somebody else made it for her to present at the dinner table.
Through out the course of the movie Jane and John learn that their spouses work at rivaling assassin companies and their bosses what them to kill their significant other. When Jane Smith receives her orders to kill her husband she gives him few warning before she tries to kill him in several different situations such as poising him, killing him in and elevator, and putting a bomb in his jacket. Jane Smith portrays the dangerous femininity well as she puts her job before her husband and acts as the aggressor to kill him first. Angelina plays the role of the femme fatal as she intelligent, beautiful and has no mercy towards her male counterparts. Although towards the end of the movie she comes to terms with her husband to try to defeat the people that are trying to take them down.
