Ricky Phat no one deserves to stuck in such a painfull situations... I am happy that your mother survived this...♡

I'm so sorry for your loss. Who is responsible for this genocide?

Nothing really, as long as she stop calling herself an actress.

man you're too salty complaining on every comment. Go get a life and do things like her instead of being a loser.

and stop liking your own comments, its ridiculous..

his nickname says it all, at least the first part :)

is the internet is our right to complaining

Wrong she's not made of gas and pure energy. Fact check fail

And Ros Sereysothea also a victims she die in that era

Van v Beautiful country, people, food. God bless Cambodia. Does your country speak French too like Vietnam? Thanks for singer's name and omg she was a victim of war?

Jolie Vietnamese don't speak French.

Van v o

maegap96 because vietnam and cambodia were french colonies?

I understand what you are saying but he has been in the USA since he was a baby. The USA is his home. He doesn't have to assimilate to be American. It's good she is letting him know where he came from but he doesn't need to assimilate to the culture of the USA.

The USA is his home yes, but it isn't necessarily who he will identify as (he may do) and he is entitled to have that choice, she is making that choice available to him because regardless of how much he may think of himself as an American, some people will always put him into a category instead of accepting that he is just American because he is and looks Asian. At the very least America is not an Asian country let alone mainly composed of Cambodians, this will be impossible for him to ignore and others as they try to put him into a box, the better to categorise him like Indian Americans, African Americans, Latin Americans and then just Americans who the default is to those who are white. His biological family are all tied to Cambodia, their history, their culture that doesn't disappear because he's now an American citizen.

People need to stop labeling themselves/others by race/gender. I believe that is the main problem in the world today. People want to be treated equal but then put themselves/others in separate groups. Also he was raised in the USA therefore most likely he identifies way more with the people/culture of the USA than he ever will with the Khmer people. He may look like them but most likely that is all he will ever truly have in common with them. Their customs are very different than here. The Khmers have very strict traditions in every facet of their society. Like I said though, it is very good for him to know his history and the history of the land where he was born.

Well, you pretty much said. It's important for a human being to feel connection to some culture, ethic and place. Even if it isn't logical, it's on human nature to find belonging, origin. If you're born knowing you're from other place, your instinct will search to know about this place.

Hidekijapak7, I'm not sure if you're responding to me or not. I want to say that I agree with everything you said. However, I think you missed my point. I was responding to the thought that Maddox shouldn't be forced into the culture of the USA. I pointed out that he has been here since he was a baby. We are his culture. I was simply saying he has no need to assimilate. Assimilation simply means to take in a culture or belief and understand it. If anything he would be assimilating to Khmer culture because he would have to adapt/understand their customs.

Marlin same

MARLINNNN

OMG MARLIN

marlin is that you

Marlin I’m also Cambodian :D I love being Cambodian 💗

あ Layla Malinday あ it is definitely something that should be made more mainstream. it is informative of something most people would never know about since most of Hollywood is about overdramatizing. That is why I think she sticks to these movies. it directly ties into her humanitarian work that she loves.

Being a director is merely the tool for which she uses to open people's eyes. She knows she has a great advantage and uses is it.

あ Layla Malinday あ is it just me or does it seem like you make it sound like a bad thing? mhmm

+Chasing theUnknown Completely due to you & your over imaginations

I think it's in the way this is said "it's all she's ever done as a director so far. But I do applaud her..". This comes off sounding like "she hasn't really done anything worthwhile BUT I commend her for bringing about awareness". Judging by your reaction that's not what you meant but it is how it can be interpreted.

not more than Aishwarya Rai.

:D

Anas Choudhary no tits

Anas Choudhary ,anus chodhary is blind

By any standard she is just beautiful.

Sally Do u saw the movie? It isn't available on Netflix...

This woman is so talented. I love her movies!!

true

bitch dumped Brat Pitt

Really? would she still be if she had no puffed lips and come to bed eyes?

gelu4in who gives a fuck. Maybe Your dad dumped your mom so what.

The things is there's tons and tons of WWII movies and yet there's barely anything that involves other atrocities like what happened in Cambodia, Armenia, Rwanda and so on

Arsenio Buck Where the hell did you get the idea that Thai people don't know about the Khmer Rouge? Thousands of Thai people provided assistance to Cambodian refugees fleeing across the border, and hundreds more, including both my parents, worked and volunteered in refugee camps all over Thailand. Why do you think there is virtually no communist presence in Thailand today? We saw what could happen with an extreme communist regime, and the Thai government curtailed, and continues to curtail anything they see heading toward that direction. Moreover, the fighting spilled over into Thailand more than once and Thai-Cambodians were slaughtered along with other minority groups in Cambodia at the time. This wasn't very long ago. Most of the population of Thailand today was alive during the Khmer Rouge era. Do you think we just blocked it out of our memories?

Arsenio Buck I'm a Cambodian in America and throughout grade school and high school, not once there was any history lessons about Cambodia

Benjamin Cefkin Oh, come on. Are you talking about the top universities in Thailand? International schools? I can ask 10 students from universities outside the top 2-3 and they wouldn't know. Regardless if you think Thais are helping Cambodian (which I must declare as false, given the fact the way the Cambodians and Burmese are treated as slave workers in Thailand) you're misguided as the rest. Go to the majority of government schools and ask Mattayom students between 10th-12th grade....they wouldn't have a clue. Other than Thammasat, Mahidol and Chula, not many people know, even the Thais over 30 years old. Let's even ask the students about Joseph, Adolf, Benito, etc.....all men of caucasian/anglo saxon descent (excluded Benito) and maybe 60% doesn't know. The problem with this is if they know who these genocidal maniacs are, the racism within Thailand would be much less towards Indians, Africans and African Americans. Like another commenter said, let's talk about the Rwanda genocide.....I can tell you right now 99.2 percent of the Thai population is unaware of the atrocities in Africa. With that being said, the oblivious state brings ignorance. If Thais know about the atrocities, outside the Khmer Rouge, the racism could possibly decrease. Since most of them are unaware, even of the Vietnam war (which 2.5 million Vietnamese died at the hands of white americans *negativing the dozens of blacks who were forced into conscription), it brings an insane amount of ignorance towards the Burmese, Cambodians, and especially Africans.

Outside of the minute 1,000 Thais that quite possibly might know what took place next door, it brings an insurmountable amount of ignorance amongst the population because Thais believe they're better than Cambodians and Burmese (the battle in ayutthaya). So, knowing about world history and genocides could really help a nation so desperate as Thailand today. Period.

D.K.W ❤️

D.K.W songs name?

I am not sure about the song title, but the singer may came from the golden ages of Cambodia and her name is Pen Ron.

Darude Sandstorm

The tittle of the song is ber bong min mea ta

I totally agree. Besides Angelina, Sharon Stone also did a lot of charity work.

my father fought in Combodia war, my father never can forget that war. It's even worse than what Angelina can show on the screen, I guarantee you. When the most uneducated, the lowest class absorbed the most muderous, insane ideology ( communism), they would do the most inhumane thing... mass murders, mass rapes, torture for fun... and trust me, their victims didn't get a quick death.

Vinh Nguyễn Humans ( almost all ) need to be flayed for what we are ....

Vinh Nguyễn i would love to know more can you refer a book please?

idk any in English but you can google their bone field pics

Google Security Prison 21 or S-21. It is now the Tuol Seng Genocide Museum in Cambodia. I urge to read about what happened in that prison, run by the people Vinh Nguyen describe. It was hell on earth. But that was just a tiny fraction of what happened in Cambodia during this time period.

your aunt had to kill her children? wow

That's what happens when judgemental people have access to a keyboard

Well said.

yes she’s like an angel who see the potential through us when no one else did, she truly helped lots of cambodians to be recognized, the cambodians really appreciates her !!

a lot of people at my school are cambodian. i dont think its that people dont know its just some areas are more populated by a specific race and all that

Christian my collarbone shows that doesn't mean i have to eat more. The way you said it made it seem like having collarbones show was a rare thing 😂

Tuan Nguyen my mom made me watch it before watching this one

Watch "The Killing Fields" too. It was an Oscar winner academy award movie.

All of them communists are evils!.AJ can make a film about VN communists.The're a lots of drama stories.

Marco Solorio lol but she loves mad so much

twistedmetalplayer21 lol

Actually if you read the book her sister Keav dies first.

yo ass has been schooled ma friend

Salmanov Aleisa dude come on, nice burn, but really? he was clearly being sarcastic, did you ACTUALLY HAVE TO SPOIL US :/

No, they killed her sister first. I read the book last year. Its good. After the sister dies, his little brother gets tortured by the soldiers.

Haha Ingenious.

Hamza Naeem we some type of first they killed my father 😩😩😂😂

Hamza Naeem I HATE MYSELF FOR LAUGHING

testenten We won't be laughing to long when WW3 hit....

Simone King *too

Not my Mom. She's been dead for 20 years.

agb1953 It's a netflix movie. It's not going to threaters.

agb1953 plus I would rather lose some money showing something and creating a masterpeice than making a movie that is just a popcorn movie that makes a couple billion at the box office like F&F franchise. Just my opinion, and I am not saying this movie is going to have a 10/10 rating.

valerie, look up facetious.

Box office is not the only measure of success.

Derpy ass.

yeah a dirty homewrecker finally got her karma. she knows how it feels now.

HaveYourWay 1984 Gotta find it funny when people blame Angelina for Brad and Jen splitting when he was the one that cheated not to mention their marriage was already over long before he met Angelina, you could see it in how they acted around each other, he was just using Angelina as an excuse to leave his wife.

Well, Brad needed to be cheated on for the Karma to get him

How so?

Learn what? Angelina needing to fatten up or that great Cambodian Rock music?

Growing up around Caribbean's in London. Also why I used the dumpling reference as the food of choice.

Just a slang turn of the word "yam" or "eat". They said it plenty, I loved the food and have been around it all my life. No "learning" involved, the first time you hear it, you know what it means just like any slang or new informal phrase, like how we misuse the words, "awesome" or "cool" or "sexy" or "asshole", but know exactly what is intended by its use during speech. Nothing needed to be studied to understand it. Most used it from time to time to talk about eating food, especially when chilling out comfortably around friends and family and when there was no need/want/reason to use the queens formal english while in conversation and people rather relaxed and were talking in the accent and patterns of where they were born. I'd wager that the whole of the UK, the commonwealth and most of the New York City tri-state area knows what the word means if you were to use it around there as much Caribbean colloquialisms, slang, and speech has become familiarized or normalized in these areas. No rocket science here, the whole world does the same in their own way to express or converse and create turns of words as a form of expression. Each unique group or subculture has their "thing" that distinguishes them from the mainstream.

Didnt know that. Good to know that. Consider this a happy coincidence. There is a fair amount of phonetics in many slang words where they are spelled just the way they sound and sound just the way they are spelled. I guess that's what made "nyam" find it's way into common Carribean expression. I don't think their use has anything to do with a connection to Cambodia at all. In this instance, and in many Carribean slang-like terms, think of the sound or act being performed and not the word per-se as being the reason for the descriptive term and how it's spelled. My marginal knowledge of Cambodian culture comes as a westerner hearing and seeing what pieces of it I do from afar on the news, tv, radio, etc. So. . .little to none. BUT. I was introduced to that great Cambodian rock of the 60's and 70's by the parents of a school friend of my brother, just being over his house and his dad played some tracks (don't know what it was) in the background. They were great tunes, I don't understand or speak Cambodian at all, so I don't know what the songs were about or what they were saying, but to hear both the accent and 'words' in song, it all harmonized and complemented the music being played so perfectly. It all made for great stuff to listen to. I grew up, moved to the USA and forgot about it for ages until I stumbled upon 'Dengue Fever', which reminded me all over again of that great music.

gurney85 Dengue Fever so raw live..

they

killed

father

Stfu

nobody survives even one bit Cambodia used to be apart of the French colony and fun fact their second language used to be french

zeke lau oh thanx

The dude speaks in french with a strong Cambodian accent...

Nope,actually that man spoke French

nobody survives even one bit he's speaking french actually

Sangeet Shukla OMG yesss

Since when being thin is bad? STFU!

She's always been thin but she did lose a lot after her mother passed. Which is understandable...

chemotherapy can do that to a person.

She never had chemotherapy. She had a double mastectomy because she has a gene that makes a person prone to cancer. She never actually got cancer, she just took preventative measures.

+granknight yeah..at least she still want to make movies..

still looks good though given her age.

granknight she's only 41
