n the movie Salt, Angelina Jolie plays a double-agent who is mind-controlled by scary remnants of the USSR secret service. And in real life, the 1940s bombshell Candy Jones was apparently brainwashed with drugs and used as a CIA covert operative. At least, according to testimony that Jones gave while under hypnosis, after her husband realized that she was acting strangely and seemed to have a split personality. Several years ago, the Fortean Times described what Jones reported while hypnotized:
Some time in 1960, an old acquaintance, a retired army general, dropped into this office and, in the cause of casual conversation, asked Candy if she would allow the FBI to use her office as a mail drop. She assented, and also agreed to deliver mail for the FBI when travelling on business because, at the time, she thought of this arrangement as a simple patriotic activity. She had no idea what she was getting into.
One of her first tasks for this (unnamed) general was to deliver a letter to a man in San Francisco while she was on business there. The man was Dr Gilbert Jensen, whom she vaguely remembered. She had dinner with Jensen in San Francisco on 16 November 1960, a day which was to affect the rest of her life. Jensen said that he now worked for the CIA and had an office in Oakland, across Bay Bridge. He said that if Candy wanted to, she could get far deeper into the covert Intelligence business, adding that it could prove lucrative for her. With three sons at private schools, Candy was short of cash and accepted.
The first thing Jensen did was to hypnotise Candy. In doing so, he found Arlene and developed her, using hypnotic techniques and intravenous injections of highly experimental drugs. He succeeded in bringing Arlene forward in Candy's mind so that she could take Candy over almost completely. This done, he was able to send Candy (with Arlene's voice and manner) on various experimental missions at home and abroad. Candy would change into Arlene in appearance too, wearing a wig and using a different make-up style. Jensen aimed to create a ‘perfect messenger', one who could not reveal – even under torture – anything about the message she carried, where she came from or who had sent her.
This operation was vast and highly organised. Candy – as Arlene, the virtual zombie – visited training camps, military bases and secret medical facilities all over America. She was studied and trained in every aspect of covert action, including explosives, close combat with improvised weaponry, disguise and communications. She was taught how to kill with her bare hands, conditioned to resist pain, and shown how to counter interrogation techniques. She was shown off by a proud Jensen to the military on many occasions as an example of narco-hypnotic success: the perfect warrior. Jensen's pièce de résistance was to demonstrate that his conditioning was so deep that Arlene would kill herself on command. An idea of the kind of moral values of the people involved here is illustrated by Jensen putting a lighted candle inside Candy's open vagina without her registering pain or fear. He demonstrated this before 24 doctors in an auditorium at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.!5784189/the-strange-story-of-the-real+life-salt-a-supermodel-brainwashed-into-becoming... more

Salt is one of those rare action films that has non-stop action hitting for ninety minutes straight and everything is done with a brain. Originally written for a star actor, in which Tom Cruise was the first candidate, but after he refused because he was too similar to his role in Mission: Impossible makers changed the script and took on Angelina Jolie to play the same role reworked for a first female lead.
Evelyn Salt (Jolie) is a CIA officer who is amazing in his work. She has done everything to protect the United States. One day while she was leaving work to go home to her husband for their anniversary, a strange man enters the office with a CIA accusation very strange about Salt. As she and her partner, Ted Winter (Schreiber), sitting around to hear him speak, things start to get a little crazy. This man, who is considered a deserter, said that Evelyn is actually a Russian spy who was planted in the United States to kill the President. Salt not return, thinking it can not be true, and makes a run for it. Ted is on his side at first, but as the cons-espionage agent Peabody (Ejiofor) step, he begins to realize that Evelyn might actually be a Russian spy. His actions do not help us escape, but she wants to make sure her husband is safe, even if it means risking his life. As the film goes, we learn more about who is really Salt. The question is whether he can prove his innocence before being captured.
The action is absolutely non-stop, but the best part is that it's credible. Director Philip Noyce (Clear and Present Danger) does not go over to where the action seemed unreal. Being that this film is about 90 percent share, there is a great story to tell and occurring. The twists and turns of the plot are very surprising and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Throughout the movie, you will really matter is Salt. As the story goes deeper than you begin to focus on the character, but the best part is that you never really know his true intentions. That we hope will leave the movie open for a sequel.
Jolie has finally filled the gap where one is able to watch his character as an action star, rather than a female or male. Each performance in the film is pretty strong with incredibly talented actors, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Liev Schreiber.
The film is short (100 minutes running time), fun and you get to see Angelina Jolie kick butt and are hot. Do not watch it on big screen.
Director: Philip Noyce
Cast: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Daniel Olbrychski
