I thought she and her dad didn't get along because of political views.
Insanely disturbing when you think about all the kids that did that then walked away without the part.
Might force become an Alcoholic.I imagine Angelina to be utterly unbearable in real life.
Stories like this do nothing to convince me otherwise.
Yeah it's unnecessarily cruel. Not that this excuses it but I really hope they were immediately compensated afterwards.
For her next movie she'll bring in recently freed child soldiers and demand they recount the horrible lives they lived for her amusement.

i dont understand this...
so they put money in the table, then they say think something you would want to use this money for, then what? they would say take it, and then??? if they told you to take it why would they "catch" you with the money, can someone explain to me?

after they take the money, which they were told to do, i assume the director who knows what's up "catches" them in the act and the kid doesn't know that the director is in on it.
it doesnt make sense, unless the director starts to yell or something immedietaly after they tell the kid to take the money,
i dont understand
Traumatizing, but I can respect the method. Welcome to the real world.
they put money on the table and asked the child to think of something she needed the money for, and then to snatch it away.
Just thinking about this makes me wonder about the kids that are not getting the part.
Shot entirely in Cambodia, and in the Khmer language, the film, a Netflix original, is the largest production the country has witnessed since the war, and according to the reports of several Cambodians whove seen it, its one of the most revelatory pieces of art about that chapter in the countrys history, a history thats still difficult for Cambodians to discuss. But if Cambodians consider the film to be something of a gift, then its surely a thank-you gift.
Despite Jolies Cambodian ties, she felt she needed a Cambodian filmmaker to help shepherd the project. So she reached out to Rithy Panh, one of the most famous filmmakers in Cambodia, who had lost family members to the genocide and had chronicled the Khmer Rouge in several documentaries, including The Missing Picture, which was nominated for the best-foreign-language-film Academy Award in 2014.
She and Panh agreed that the only way this film could be made was if Cambodia wanted it to benot a foregone conclusion, given that Cambodians are still somewhat reticent about their painful history. (The Killing Fields, Roland Joffés 1984 film about the Khmer Rouge, had to be filmed in Thailand and elsewhere.) The war tribunals, which were set in motion in 2009 and are ongoing, have helped open up the topic. Still, Jolie was trepidatious and approached the countrys culture ministers gingerly, explaining that they were telling not just Ungs story but also the story of a people. Jolies Cambodian track record made the difference, says Ung. In a country like Cambodia, respect is very much elevatedrespect for each other, respect for the culture, respect for the history, respect for the elders. Angie walks in Cambodia with this respect.
Cambodia went all inclosing off Battambang for days, giving the filmmakers permits to land in remote zones, providing them with 500 officials from their actual army to play the Khmer Rouge army. Its not a poetic thing to say[this film] was made by the country, says Jolie. Between cast and crew, some 3,500 Cambodians participated.
