i mean its weird but i dont think it is that cruel as people are thinking.
so they put money in the table and tell the kid to think something on what to spend the money on, then they tell her that he would pretend to steal it and they would pretend to catch her and that she is going to tell a lie to try to get away with it.
it seems that the winner kid only won because she was the one who spend the most time just watching at the money, and she got sad when she had to return it.

i dont get... she should have hired kids from LA? No kids should be cast ever because of disappointment when not selected?
With all the complaints about whitewashing, now people complain about someone trying to hire and pay unprivileged kids that have suffered unbelievable hardships.They are not trained actors, there has to be some kind of selection process and not everyone will get to act in the movie. They have went to the audition for the movie, they are not snatched from the street.
So apparently instead of taking them off the streets and getting them into acting in Hollywood movie, she should have left them on the streets because thats going to be better for them.
Do people think these kids are living their dreams right now? Anyone ending up casted will likely be able to change their life considerably for the better.
From the Vanity Fair article in OP:
According to the article, she shot it in Cambodia, entirely with local cast and in Khmer language with help of best known Cambodian director and basically all of the country, with 3500 people participating on the sets as well as 500 soldiers from the army with the help of ministry of culture.
But not, she is evil. Wtf.
Yeah, on balance I'm not negative on the project and I look forward to seeing it.i dont get... she should have hired kids from LA? No kids should be cast ever because of disappointment when not selected?

How are some surprised she could be this cruel to children. Here is something she said about her own kids:
"The world has this opinion about the difference, then you wonder if there is a difference. In fact I found the opposite. I think I feel so much more for Madd and Zee because theyre survivors, they came through so much. In some way theyre strangers because they had this life before me. Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born, I have less inclination to feel for her. I have the do the opposite from what I expected! I met my other kids when they were six months; they came with a personality. A newborn really is this blob [the interviewer suggests] ! But now shes starting to have a personality. The three of them are very funny together, very loud and in each others faces. Shes grown up with Zee screaming in her face in the morning! But, yes Im conscious that I have to make sure I dont ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable."

Could you explain what's wrong here? I've read it twice and I'm not getting how this has anything to do with cruelty to children.How are some surprised she could be this cruel to children. Here is something she said about her own kids:

What is it with rich people doing social experiments with poor people? This kinda shit happens way more often than you would think like the poor are fucking animals to be studied.
Aww - their post made sense to me... :-(*looks at tag*

Kimmel.She must have been inspired by the Jimmy Fallon 'lying to children for our entertainment' segments. Funny stuff!
When did this trend of hardcore method acting start? You've got Jared Leto being a complete weirdo to 'get in the mindset' for the Joker, Leo DiCaprio eating actual raw bison meat for The Revenant, and Angelina Jolie fucking with kids to get the perfect actor.
When did Hollywood folks forget that acting is just that, acting.
Guys, I think the rumours about her being guano levels of crazy were not that far out.
She took a group of disadvantaged children, who are almost certainly in desperate need of money, and then taunted them with money, by asking them to think about what they need it for and pretend to steal it, so she could see which one was more desperate (because having a desperate child as a lead will really sell the film). Then, as to all but one child, they were told to return the money and go.
I know it's supposed to be impressive and all, but I just can't be all that amazed at deluding yourself into believing you are the character.Daniel Day Lewis (aka the guy who refused to get treated for pneumonia because they wouldn't have had the cure in the time his movie was set in) winning 3 Oscars...
Damn. This is spot on.like something out of a victorian novel
This is the same idiot that felt less for her biological child, Shiloh, because she was "more privileged" than the children she adopted. She also called her a "blob".
