Sinopsis(1)
El 23 de enero de 2002 el mundo de Mariane Pearl cambió para siempre. Su marido Daniel, jefe de la oficina del sur de Asia del Wall Street Journal, investigaba para un artículo acerca del terrorista Richard Reid. Se desplazaron a Karachi, donde un intermediario había concertado una entrevista con una fuente muy esquiva. Al irse para la reunión, le dijo a Marianne que quizá se retrasaría. Nunca regresó. El carácter de luchador de Danny y su fe inquebrantable en el poder del periodismo animaron a Mariane a plasmar su desaparición, los esfuerzos que se hicieron para encontrarle y su asesinato, en el libro de memorias A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl. Cuando su marido desapareció, estaba embarazada de seis meses de un hijo al que Danny quería llamar Adam. Escribió el libro para que Adam conociera al padre al que nunca vería. Más allá de la religión, raza o nacionalidad, Mariane tuvo el valor de elevarse por encima de la amargura y el odio que invadieron el mundo después del 11/S. Su libro refleja la alegría de vivir que compartía con Danny. (Universal Pictures España)

Great subject matter, but unfortunately it wasn't even minimally used... Angelina in particular didn't sit well with me at all. And she usually does! What bothers me is that the creators once again relied only on "true events". I suspect that the director wasn’t there during the filming at all.

As I have read somewhere, Daniel Pearl was not really a saint and as a journalist he allegedly poked at everything that seemed even a little bit thorny to him, and he was overly ambitious and sometimes arrogantly opinionated. I don't know what the truth is in this, but I think that as shown in A Mighty Heart, he could not possibly be such a naive kid who, despite all his experience as a journalist, allows himself to be lured into a trap. If so, I feel a little more sorry for his wife in retrospect, because she married not a prudent man, but a fool who actually took his own life. But back to the film. It's not very good, and unfortunately it's also quite one-sided - what I missed most was the reaction to how stubbornly the US refused to meet the hijackers' demands (or even think about meeting them) and how the American public reacted to that. The script is very strangely written, to the point where it seemed to me that there was a complete lack of emotion, but Angelina Jolie does her best and especially at the end, when she learns of her husband's death, she overacts so much that she is believable. Apart from the script, the direction and music are not worth much. I would only praise the sympathetic actress Archie Panjabi. Two and a half stars.

The factual value of the film is unquestionable, as is Angelina's acting. But what's the point of it all when the resulting film is so undynamic.

Danny was a British journalist who traveled to Karachi with his wife, with nothing on his mind other than serious journalism. However, he was kidnapped just as he was doing his job. His wife Marianne (Angelina Jolie), however, did not give up and tried to find out where Danny was at all costs. She was in her sixth month of pregnancy when the incident occurred, but within a month she would find out what happened to her husband. Terrorism is not a peaceful activity, on the contrary, it is an activity that destroys human lives. "The Mighty Heart" tries to convey exactly that, as it tells us that only those who kidnapped Danny are responsible for it, no one else. The film emphasizes that it is not possible to stereotype all Muslims, but that there are those who suffer from terrorism as well, despite being Islamists and having Pakistani nationality.
