If I can't clear her name within 72 hours, I must take my wife's life with my own hands.



Following his last film, "By the Sea," which garnered attention as his final on-screen pairing with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt returns as a tormented husband. In his latest work, he teams up for the first time with the masterful Robert Zemeckis, who won an Academy Award® for Best Director for "Forrest Gump" and has continued to craft exceptional films with his mature artistry, albeit sparingly, in recent years.By the SeaBrad Pitt returns as a tormented husband.

Who is the woman Marianne, the one he loves??Marion Cotillard, who won an Academy Award® for Best Actress for "La Vie en Rose" and is a globally recognized powerhouse, plays the "enigmatic woman Marianne" from the outset. She captivatingly portrays Marianne, who instructs Max, pretending to be her husband for their spy mission, on French customs like kissing and etiquette, saying, "For a French couple..." Until the very end, when she whispers "I love you" to her husband in French, wearing a hood like Little Red Riding Hood, her true feelings remain hidden, creating a sense of longing that draws you in.

Furthermore, while Brad Pitt was wonderful as the loving husband despite his flaws in "By the Sea," his performance in "Allied" as a devoted husband working diligently and pledging loyalty to his country, yet desperately trying to clear his wife's name, is equally compelling. Pay attention to the dialogue, which blends English and French, with Marion Cotillard.By the SeaBrad Pitt was also wonderful as the loving husband despite his flaws in "By the Sea," but in "Allied," his performance as a devoted husband working diligently and pledging loyalty to his country, yet desperately trying to clear his wife's name, is equally compelling.
