Nak Ming Ung Thavary,

 

It happens to be strange for you or some people perhaps but for me I don't mind 
to have someone like Angela Jolie to be a Khmer heroin or symbol of Khmer as 
long as she merits that title. Remember all our former builder's kings or 
emperors of Khmer civilization were from divert origins in particularly from 
indo-scythe or Khmer-indo-scythe origin. 

 

Khmer culture is first of all a culture of diversity, of valor to which a Khmer 
identified or attached to like respect, honestly, humanity, compassion and 
courage.  These valor are deeply marked Khmer gene, Khmer daily conducts that 
it is difficult be something or someone else even with made efforts or 
artifice.  Of course I'm not talking about current Kxmer society/culture omi 
dominated by yuons and yuon culture in extent and larger. 

 

So, we are first of all Khmers by heart, by valor to which our culture and 
humanity, left by our ancestors, attached to, not by skin color like other 
culture like yuon for example.  It is these Khmer valor and Khmer interests to 
which a person attached to and tries to protect and preserve against all 
opposite forces that a person merit to represent these valor or Khmer. Angela 
Jolie makes me think to a former Khmer queen Prah Neang Nak (or Chinese call 
liv-yi) because of her looks and generosity. 

 

Although I strongly oppose to any symbol of Khmer valor to be represented by a 
yuon origin, not because I something opposed to yuon or have something against 
yuon but living with yuon, knowing and yuon history enough, I just cant 
conceive that a yuon can bear these valor. 

 

Let hope that Hollywood wont paint Khmer history to a color or a form that it 
wants to or want to see but has some respect to history and people that made 
world/Khmer history of that period.

  But I want to see "Preah Neang Indradevi" is a Srei Khmer face NOT a Western 
or a Chine or a Yuon face!

  Thanks,

          Dear Thavary, why asked why? 
          Angelina deserved that not just because she is an experience and 
famous actress but for her genereousity, her compassion for Cambodia, and last 
thing, this is Hollywood. I hope no Khmer get upset like the Thais did when 
Hollywood picked Chao Young Phat to star in a movie ( I forgot the title ) 
instead of picking a Thai star.
            By the way, I hope Hollywood make this movie follow Khmer history 
correctly without any distortion or change any part of Khmer history.

            Dear Camdiscers, please open the site below to listen to the Khmer 
World Radio.
            The Holly Wood will make a movie "Preah Bat Jeyavarman VII", and 
Holly Wood will choose 
            Angelina Jole as Preah Neang Indradevi.
            Why Holly Wood don't choose Khmer actress and actor instead of 
American, Correan..foreigners..etc???
            Why they do that for?
            Thanks,
            Thavary
