Luis is obsessed with the woman and can’t stop loving her, despite her injuries to him the detective seems to have a personal agenda, too. Turns out Julia wasn’t who she said she was, and Luis isn’t the only one after her: A detective (Thomas Jane) is on the case, too. And marrying a stranger seemed like such a good idea…! Things are blissful for two or three seconds, at which point Julia steals all Luis’ money and disappears. So they get married and then fall in love after all.
Luis has invited her to Cuba to marry him - not because he’s in love, but because he wants a wife who is agreeable, pleasant, and of a child-bearing age. Jolie plays a saucy tart named Julia Russell, a Baltimore woman who has exchanged correspondence with Luis Vargas (Antonio Banderas), a wealthy businessman in 1880 Cuba. It is the only thing in the movie that does. But it is ABOUT love - specifically, about the lengths to which people might go when they are madly in love. The film is certainly no love story, as it is completely devoid of romance or chemistry between its two leads. Though that sounds contradictory, it actually makes sense. She is the heroine of the film and its occasional narrator, and she says, “This is not a love story. “Original Sin” begins with a close-up of Angelina Jolie’s grotesque lips.
