LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie says she got to know her husband Brad Pitt even better after filming By the Sea in which they play a couple going through troubled marriage.

Jolie who also directed the film said they both could feel how they reacted after a serious fight. “Brad has never seen what I’m like when he’s left me after one of our fights. Sometimes I’m strong. But as soon as he leaves the room, I melt into tears. With this film, he sees it. And I see into his private moments. I filmed it and I discovered his expressions. So I better understand his frustrations over certain aspects in me,” Jolie said.

Even though most of the scenes had a positive impact on Jolie, there were times when she felt weird. “The most difficult scenes were the most drawn-out fights: normally if Brad sees me cry, it ends by his taking care of me. But here, in the film he had to stay angry, and I couldn’t take it personally.”
