That part about Angie speaking about Zahara's education and how she wants her to learn about Africa first: Chapeau! Fantastic thinking, Angie!!! Well done.
The movie is a very great depiction. What hit me the most was the end when she saw the lady giving birth in that refugee camp and I thought that was me, the tiny little baby that was being born in such a harsh situation. The story my mom told me for years and told me not to forget. I love you mom
Holy fuck my parents and grandparents went through this shit man. My dad was only 5 when this all happened & my mom was only 4. It's crazy to think that if my parents didn't survive the killing field I wouldn't be here today. Thank you Ms.Jolie for being so invested in the Cambodian culture and ms.Loung thank you for allowing Ms.Jolie to help tell your story and the other Khmer People story.
This book and interview made me tear up often. Especially because my mother's eldest daughter died at 2 years old because my mom was too poor to buy medication in China. And I never knew about my sister's existence till recently just before my mom passed away. Mom burned everything and never spoke of her again when she died. Luong's description of her mother made me realize the pain she must have endured upon not knowing of her children's safety. The writing really made me empathize with my mother and all mother's who has lost their children. The book is a worthy read and look forward to seeing the movie.
Wow what a horrible segue at 16:50 it's like the interviewer was thinking of her next question and not listening at all. Plus she didn't have children and then the interviewer acted like Loung didn't matter. Very rude imo.
Thank you so much, Luong. I saw the film last evening for the first time and was deeply moved. Your story broke my heart and yet your resilience makes my heart soar. I am so sorry you had to suffer so much. I will never understand war. You were blessed to have such beautiful parents & siblings. I look forward to reading “Lucky Child.” Much love to Angelina, too - for doing this amazing film and sharing & educating all of us with your remarkable story. Thank you.
Loung, you are an amazing person. I have so much respect for you. I was an ESL Tutor who taught so many refugees from Cambodia, Viet Nam etc. I've learned their extraordinary stories. I respect your courage and tenacity.
I bought this book when I was in Phnom Penh and I literally can't describe all the feelings it gave me. I knew about their history but only from an objective point of view, reading all the books, articles and documentaries. However after reading the book, I feel this little country in a different way now, more intense, and I get goosebumps everytime I think back
Well made movie, the cast and crew child actress who played Loung Ung was just awesome as well as her brother and sisters. One girl who remembered so others wouldn't forget.
Thank you for showing the consequences of War, it's not just what happensens to Soldiers. Civilians suffer as well. Particularly when it is an Ethnic cleansing.Thank you Angelina for brining this to everyones attention.
I watched the movie for the first time and was blown away by it. I knew a bit about the genocide in Cambodia still seeing Loung's story when she was just a child was so heart-breaking as it was the ending scene. These Cambodian people who came together to tell maybe the darkest time of their own country's History are so brave. Angelina has made such a gift to Cambodia as well as to those around the world who are keen to learn more and love the country. I'd suggest to everyone to watch the movie and, most importantly, to learn more or even travel to Cambodia when we'll be allowed to do so again and see for oursevels.
At some point throughout the interviews, the interviewer was quite interruptive... I dunno whether if there weren't enough time or what but it was unpleasant to watch..
Basically you made this movie through The eyes of somebody who lived through traumatic era nothing's realer than that.... Going to watch the movie can't wait.....
I lived in Cambodia quite a while within the last 20 years. Everyone knew Luong Un's the book. Gracious people of Cambodia..they were equal to Europeans as Vietnamese were..arts, lifestyle, intelligence.. went with their Vespas to the shore at the weekened... Joli and all other people involved did a great job and it still emotionally overwhelmes me a lot. Great Job What is the most important and probably unintended strong message of this movie is what this shitty heretic Marxism can do to nations.. The movie starts at a time when it is implemented already and the "Angkar" is established. What it should tell us is that we are in Europe and USA in a "pre Angkar" state and that we are short b4 the "job done" state we allowed to happen by political correctness, diverting our people, killing our christian culture by mass invasion of islamic people who do not fit at all in, by ignoring conservatism. conservatism is traditionalism and traditions are mostly GOOD..its a GOOD thing, not a bad thing. Hollywood is the opposite of conservative... they did a mistake with this movie.. Pol Pot almost did fulfil his job to eradicate a whole culture but also didn' t succeed War and cultural Marxism: what is it good for? Nothing!! Say it again!!! you can destroy a country but never ever its core culture... that's what I saw in Cambodia within the last 20 years. The only further thread coming to their country nowadays are the masses of politically correct tourists from western countries
Jolie and Luong Ung did this film so much justice. Thank you

I read the book and it opened my mind. I watched the film and I was just bawling my eyes the entire 2 hours.
I read the book when I was in 9th grade and I remember that my teacher said that they were gonna be making a movie from the book
Wow what a horrible segue at 16:50 it's like the interviewer was thinking of her next question and not listening at all. Plus she didn't have children and then the interviewer acted like Loung didn't matter. Very rude imo.
yeah what an insensitive bitch
This woman is so amazing she never disappoints

The world owes Vietnam a debt of apology
Such an incredible and powerful film!

Truly amazing what people have gone through, and at 5 years old !!
Tragic but beautiful story in the end
Nice story of this Film 🤔❣️❣️🇵🇰
This movie make me crying 😢😢😢💔
This is a life changing interview
What did they say wrong? How could the 13 people dislike this?
Those 13 people were Americans who supported Henry Kissinger who bombed the hell out of Cambodia during the Vietnam war .
Inspiring
Jam-packed of personality
Composed, serene
Free of pretence
Appeal
Stunning communication
Naturally extraordinary
A symbol of inner strength
The G-force of life
She astonishes us
A distinct gifted lady
" Angelina Jolie "

At some point throughout the interviews, the interviewer was quite interruptive... I dunno whether if there weren't enough time or what but it was unpleasant to watch..
A great movie about a survivor , just like her other movie “unbroken”.
She is so perfect.......... HOLY shit.
Just saw this movie and i'm still shaken
I couldn’t even begin to imagine what those years were like for all those innocent Cambodians.
Basically you made this movie through The eyes of somebody who lived through traumatic era nothing's realer than that.... Going to watch the movie can't wait.....
