Angelina Jolie discussed at the Toronto Film Festival working with her son Maddox on her latest directorial effort, Netflix’s “First They Killed My Father.”
“For me, it was yes, I wanted him to work and I wanted him to research and I wanted him to help me, because of the child’s point of view also he was very useful,” Jolie said. “But really just to sit on set and look over and see him with his countrymen and see him creating and laughing and being Cambodian and being happy in his land. It was everything.”
The actress adopted Maddox, her first child, from an orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia, in 2002.
Jolie stopped by the Variety Studio Presented by AT&T with writer Loung Ung and producer Rithy Panh.

I just wanna say "Thank you" for making this movie to let the world know of what happened to the people of Cambodia, of the lives lost, the families broken, innocents taken and about the culture that was destroyed. This movie and the movie "The Killing Field", definitely a very powerful movie to watch.

While watching this movie I didn't know Loung was a real person, it makes it all the more heartwarming. But what a fantastic experience for Loung to be able to see her family recreated this way ❤️

When i watched this movie, my heart filled with rage. The Khmer Rouge butchered, starved and beaten hundreds of thousands of innocent people under a brutal communist regime. And to think that this is what the liberals today want to bring to the U.S.

If you can get your hands on the book "Surviving The Killing Fields" it is an amazing book by the actor who played Dith Pran in the film "The Killing Fields". It is his story of his time under Pol Pot and how he escaped Cambodia and ultimately ended up being the lead actor in The Killing Fields.

@JuliaHelen777 6 жыл бұрын

Very touching! Surely picked a tear or two. 😢 Please, don't set the focus on a certain geographic point on this earth. Is about what we human do to eachother. 💔 There, is bigger leçon to be learned from. We, humans, really don't have to create these attrocities to eachother in order to learn about life. And I do not believe that the dark energy out of these wars ever serves anyone of us. I'm sure we can live in peace & harmony! 🙏👭👫👬🌍👫👬👭🙇

I was moved by this movie, the sensibility of Angelina's direction was artistic, and sensitive. Even though what happened the Cambodians was so cruel, Angelina managed to bring beauty to the horror, managed to touch hearts. Should have got an Oscar.

Greatness. We have seen so many photos of the mutilated men from the Khmer Rouge period, the film helped visualize how much the minefields played a part in it. One of the saddest scenes is when the young Luong character recalled the planting of the minefields, she stopped, understood what was happening and sadly watched many of the young people running in fear and being blown by the minefields. Gripping movie.

I need some help, I am looking for a beautiful song which I heard in this movie, it is sung by a woman... I found it on the youtube a few years ago, but I forgot the name of the song and singer, I think that someone has commented under that video that it is a famous cambodian? singer...but it doesn't seem to be on the sountrack CD. Does anyone knows which song I mean?

I am the real Angelina Jolie as Jolie means pretty in French so I took over the Arab Faker who was with Cambodian refugees here in Toronto who are all War Criminals from Cambodia so cleared out the rest of the Maddox family in KZfaq videos after doing a film with Maddox and his Family in Cambodia. The Maddox Family was recruited to make me look bad as Angelina Jolie.
