Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard’s latest film, Allied, is being compared to another spy-lovers film which Pitt did with ex-wife Angelina Jolie several years ago. This is a rather unfortunate comparison for Pitt for several reasons. Firstly, his moment of glory is being overshadowed by the film that brought him and Jolie together, on the screen and in real life, and secondly, Allied truly is nothing like Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

But don’t just take our word for it. Even Cotillard has been quick to dismiss these comparisons. Speaking to The Huffington Post, Cotillard said: “Allied has a sense of an entertaining movie, but at the same time there’s a depth of feelings, and Brad Pitt’s character goes deep into emotions and what he delivers. It’s really strong emotionally, and I think he’s really amazing in all those very powerful emotional scenes, and that was not an aspect of the two movies you mentioned.”
Cotillard also shares feelings with us over another matter; what truly happened at the end of Inception? Was the whole film a dream? “Maybe.” Cotillard answered. “I don’t know. I was very confused when I watched the movie for the first time because one thing [that] was not written in the script is the spinning top not falling at the end. And then this last image. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I studied the script like no other, and then at the end, arriving at the spinning top not falling, I was totally confused.”
