geovalin Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Harriet Alexander Angelina Jolie has come under fierce criticism for describing the casting of Cambodian children in her new film, in which the team gave the impoverished youngsters money and then pretended to take it away from them, awarding roles to the children who looked the most upset. Jolie, a noted humanitarian and UN Goodwill Ambassador, whose efforts in Iraq, Bosnia, Haiti and Rwanda led to her working in cooperation with former foreign secretary William Hague, was speaking about the process of making her latest film, First They Killed My Father. The tale is a true-life story of Loung Ung and the horrors of Pol Pot’s regime. Jolie told Vanity Fair about the process of casting the children in the film, travelling to orphanages, circuses and slum schools “seeking children who had experienced hardship”. read more http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/2017/07/27/angelina-jolies-casting-game-cambodian-orphans-has-sparked-outrage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileydude Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Unfortunately Hollywood casting does not involve a screening ethics committee like most research. It usually involves either removing your clothes or ego-eccentric half-witted ideas mistaken for creativity.
