She read about Jainism and embellished her recollection of her father.flying chicken wrote:This is my favorite part:
Ung even has the audacity to claim that her father was so gentle that "during his life as a monk, wherever he walked he had to carry a broom and dustpan to sweep the path in front of him so as not to kill any living things by stepping on them" (Ung 12).
I take it that you are not a fan?

UPDATE:

Alessandro Marazzi Sassoon
The world premiere of Angelina Jolie’s highly anticipated film First They Killed my Father is set for February 18 in Siem Reap, seven months before its release on Netflix.
The premiere date and location were confirmed yesterday by longtime Jolie friend and acclaimed filmmaker Rithy Panh, who is also co-producing the film. Panh declined to provide any further detail about the exact location and time of the screening. “We will keep you informed,” he wrote by email.
The Jolie-directed and produced film was shot partly in Battambang and partly in Siem Reap last year.
It is a cinema adaptation of Loung Ung’s Khmer Rouge memoir First They Killed My Father and is being produced for Netflix. A worldwide release date for the online platform has not yet been set but is scheduled for this year...

I hope she can direct better than she acts. She doesn't strike me as being skilled or intuitively gifted enough. Without her more visible ASSets she's another Hollywood has been.

That movie "Unbroken" that she directed was pretty good. She is still the highest-earning female actor.taabarang wrote:I hope she can direct better than she acts. She doesn't strike me as being skilled or intuitively gifted enough. Without her more visible ASSets she's another Hollywood has been.

"She is still the highest-earning female actor."
Not According to this survey and others.
http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/mo ... -1.8615002
No survey ranked her among the top 20 best paid.
She added to her fame by her philanthropy and marriage, but she didn't get fame from acting ability and martial arts skills. Maybe you're confusing her with Jacky Chan. By the way what is a "female actor", a cross dresser.

Re: First They Killed My Father: Directed by Angelina Jolie
Fair enough, I was going from this, which was dated 2016 on top but actually refers to 2013. For what it's worth I don't think she's much good at acting either.taabarang wrote:She is still the highest-earning female actor.

No, Jackie Chan is a Chinese man, they don't even look remotely alike.Maybe you're confusing her with Jacky Chan.

Re: First They Killed My Father: Directed by Angelina Jolie
Have a look round and see if you can pick up a set second hand, must have had two or three by now. There's gotta be a vial of Billy-Bob Thornton's blood kicking about somewhere, too. You could open the Jolie Museum of Natural History.taabarang wrote:I hope she can direct better than she acts. She doesn't strike me as being skilled or intuitively gifted enough.
