Below is the first video/commercial for Angelina Jolie’s Louis Vuitton ad campaign. It’s not really about buying luxury leather goods, though. It seems more like a travel ad for Cambodia. Which is to say… after watching this, I felt like “Damn, I should travel more” rather than “Damn, I should buy a Louis Vuitton handbag.” As we talked about when we saw the first print ad from the campaign, LV and Angelina are working on something called the “Core Values” campaign, which is basically like “Louis Vuitton applauds people who aren’t JUST pretty, but have something to offer the world.” People like Bono and Mikhail Gorbachev also do “Core Values” ads.
It’s nice. Angelina looks very pretty, and the shots are about her lovely face rather than her odd feet. The script is “In 2000, Angelina Jolie made her first trip to Cambodia… It was a journey that would change her life forever.” Because it was in Cambodia that Angelina decided to become a UNHCR goodwill ambassador, and adopt her son Maddox, and buy a huge tract of land and turn it into a nature preserve, and build a hospital, etc.
Screencaps from the video, plus Jolie’s LV print ad.

This is the same approach they have used for YEARS.. why just because it Angie it become an issue. The ad is lovely as is she.
and again with the feet..really whatever. The video is just a clip. The full one will be released in July.
I love how she has continued her work in Cambodia. Yes building a hospital/clinic that is being used as a model in many other countries because of its success rate. Maddox is almost 10 year old. She has supported this country that entire time.
I need to research to see what people said when Maddonna, Jlo, Sean Connery, Francis and Sophia Coppela and Bono did their ad money. Did they get flack. don’t think so.
She donated her money to charity. Wonder what everyone else did with theirs. But it was their right to keep it and do whatever they wanted. Just as it was hers. But she made a different choice.

@Kaiser: you need to move on from the bad feet angle. In the previous post nobody had a clue as to what you were talking about. Even people who would attack Angelina for the way she breathes didn’t agree with you.
I’ve seen other core values commercials and there pretty much no product placement. It’s not really about selling the brand but social issues. I liked the commercial. It’s just really pretty. It is a great tourism video which is probably the point.

It’s a mutual relationship. She does the mother Teresa act for the world’s idiots to lap up and the UN continues with its idiotic strategies that lead to many deaths of innocent people.

I am always amazed at your vial comments regarding Angelina.
Perhaps you should stop reading so much about her. But I am sure you save it for her. And not the countless other celebs that make as much if not more money than she does.
Keep it up.. Angie is living her life and good that the opinion of people like you means nothing to it..
Wow so Angelina doing a photo shoot and helping the UNHCR is responsible for the lose of lives.. man who knew.

Too bad, because there’s a chance this site may become a new Popsugar: a nice community at first, then turned into a complete mess that ended up shunning sane posters from the site (at least, from the front page).

Hmmm, so something we did over a decade ago, in our early/mid 20′s, that never hurt or harmed anyone & wasn’t illegal, we are never allowed to outgrow? People grow up & change, especially after becoming parents. It’s actually quite pitiful if you are still the same person at 36 as you were at 26. I know I did things in my early 20′s that I would never do now, because I’ve matured. And yes, as soon as my first child was born I realized that I had a new little life to shape & my wants had to take a backseat, that I had to grow up & become a responsible adult.
I think the message about wanting to travel more may not entirely be an accident. The easiest way to fully understand a culture or way of life is to actually be there & experience firsthand. Maybe it’s LV’s way of encouraging global & cultural awareness as part of their campaign? Regardless, the ad is very nice and Angelina is a natural beauty, just like the backdrop.

Awwww I thought that one little snippet of video was so lush and so beautiful. Angie in motion is like the best thing ever. Angie is just soooo beautiful, also her beauty comes from with in so its not just that she is amazing on the outside she is amazing on the inside.
@Shay Angelina isn’t involved with the UN per say, Angelina is involved with the UNHCR which handles matters directly dealing refugees. What practices there are being conducted by the UN that you don’t agree with, Angelina has no involvement with that. Angelina’s mission is to help those people who have been displaced and find way to get them home and to bring awareness to the world about whats happening to these people. A job I would say she has done quite well. Now as far as the UN goes…Angie has nothing to do with that.

actually Shay the studio pays for the TALENT (brad) to have a place to live.
and the misspell..not a slip just typing so fast. My comment was based on you first comment before you edited your post. all your rambling about what has been printed in tabloid. YOU either read every thing about her or you live in her house. I’m sure it has to be the former because all you ramblings are based on Tabloid. 6 nannies and all the other stuff you wrote before deleting it. And she never wore a vial. but a locket with a drop of blood. Not my thing but hardly this huge thing you are making it to be. And the world I live in says that Charity is what you choose to give, not what you have to give. She does not have to live in a hole to be a caring person. YOU are are the one that sounds like a hypercritical. YOU don’t post all this crap about anyone else just her. So bias is quite telling.
@Eve they have been here all along. They get very pissed if there are any comments positive toward Angelina. It pushes them over the edge. Watch. they are sending up smoke signals to alert the others. Seriously. and JP fans are call crazy and a cult. Visit those hate sites for 2 minutes and you will see insanity at its worst. and check out post 24.. that is Grated compared to what they do on a daily basis.

Instead of being anti charity and a tight as$ and tossing an ugly used ratty old handbag into a raffle bucket, Angelina is donating her fee for this to help the country and its citizens. Rather than support a piece of trash, I support substance, morals and decency. I am *so* PROUD to be on the RIGHT side of morals and decency.

“People like Bono and Mikhail Gorbachev”
BONO is man that sold out a cause of the irish freedom to become pop star & GORBACHOV turn his back on the system that created him to find a nice place in the US, when the whole eastern block was falling apart.
there is much greater irony behind the ads of LV, besides super expescive bags and starving people (as it’s in the case of the Cambodia placement)

@ Katnip:
I have visited those forums (I already told someone else here that I once stumbled upon them, went there and never came back). Never again. I don’t need that negativity in my life, honestly.
@ Cheyenne:
I know they have been here for a while. Some of them we can spot in a second, but I fear they end up taking over the site because they don’t seem to care or realize how ridiculous they sound. I gave up trying to call them out on their hypocritical behaviour because you could rub it in their faces and they would still not accept that. So, I’m like…whatever.
I enjoy this site. I even like the comments written by those who dislike the Jolie-Pitts…I can take a joke and some are indeed really funny and creative. I just don’t like the repetitive, foaming at the mouth ones. It’s not only a matter of hateful remarks, they’re f*cking boring to read. And that’s why I’d hate if these lunatics started posting here more the ones that make sense.
I always compare Celebitchy with Popsugar because I used to love the latter — the threads had nice discussions, I have made friends there. Yes, we had the crazies there too, like a woman who had more than 15 (you read it right: FIFTEEN) profiles so she could gang up against anyone who said anything positive about The Jolie. She got banned after a while. But the site eventually went downhill (in terms of comments/threads).

Funny how no one jumps on fatcat’s comments.
This ad is just Louis Vuitton, using Marc Jacob’s sycophantic approach (celebrities) to sell a product.
Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of refugees or, worse, asylum seekers are detained and the UN takes years (and years, and years) to process these people, some of whom lose their sanity but many children lose their education in the process, and I’m not talking about refugees in Syria, but also people who are detained by nations like Australia – supposedly ‘democratic’.
But yeah, meanwhile Angelina is a distraction and relishes the publicity.
Puhlease….
The core values of Louis Vuitton is to imprint its label/brand by using supposedly ‘moral’ celebrities and former political egomaniacs. What did Gorbachev contribute to? Sean Connery is a horrid abusive man. Bono (and U2) have avoided paying tax in Ireland for years (possibly decades).
Louis Vuitton is about whitewashing its image. I’m betting few who have barked at me in here know that Louis Vuitton, at one point, received high recommendation from the Third Reich (ie the Nazis), which is why I find their sacking of Galliano ironic (they obviously want a new director).
LVMH is an all-profit organisation: those are its values. Mind you, this ‘values’ campaign borders on false advertising, making out that significant proceeds go toward good causes. This company took a young artist (Nadia Plesner) to court because she ‘dared’ use their one of their idiotically named bags as part of her art to make a pertinent statement about this type of hypocrisy (I don’t see Angelina supporting the artist’s cause; it’s all about her narcissism). So when it’s about artistic expression, it’s all about profit. If anyone goes against this conglomerate, they can be potentially stripped of any livelihood.
In short: this ‘core values’ campaign is complete and utter bullshit for starry eyed fantasists.
For anyone interested (because Angelina surely isn’t interested about artistic expression when she is on the LV- cult payroll – LV is like fashion Scientology):
http://m.thelmagazine.com/TheMeasure/archives/2011/05/06/artist-wins-copyright-case-brought-by-louis-vuitton
Louis Vuitton is only about controlling artistic expression and mining the dollar and Angelina’s participation only confirms her ‘stance’.

I didnt get that feeling about the adoption part. I think its in there bc shes known for adopting kids and ever since she adopted Maddox she has pointed out that
she felt like there was something special about Cambodia (a family member), so theyve problebly threw it in there. I really doubt that she would adopt just to get attention etc. (i say the same when people acuse Madonna of the same thing)
fatcat:
The Cambodian govermant was happy when she filmed TR there because it increased tourism, they were happy when she started her foundation and built alot of necessery things (hospital, school etc).
So im going to assume theyre happy about this too since it most likely will increase tourism yet again, which means that more people will have enough food to feed their families.
And it does look more like a ad campaign for Cambodia than for LV but i think thats a good thing, cause Cambodia need the money more than LV.

Could we please not bash AJ for doing charity work? Or at least stay away from her kids?
I’m sure there’s a lot of juicy stuff we can gossip about till cows come home (her feet are weird – or are they? she looked fat / too thin in that dress, she keeps wearing sacks, her weird accent in Alexander was atrocious, does UNHCR’s policy towards refugees yield measurable results or not and why it’s AJ’s fault) but let’s not throw dirt at the charity work itself, or the kids.
She actually does help a lot of people, by donating money, building hospitals and schools, through her own charities and by raising awareness, and she undoubtedly loves her kids. Denying that is just vile.

Brad was the home wrecker, not she, so she needs to stop suffering in silence and letting the media and his ex-wife and her assorted friends bash her. I wish I knew her so I could say to her “You are Angelina motherf*cking Jolie and it’s time to let these @ssholes stop using you as a punching bag”.
It’s been 6 bloody long years of endless weekly tabloid bullsh!t and never ending tell all books. Some will always want to manufacture controversy out of anything she says and does. Well enough! Get back to the post Billy Bob, pre Brad Angelina who used to strut the red carpet and looked like she was having fun and was such a joy to watch on talk show interviews.
Stop trying to appear non-threatening to the Mini-Van majority and just be your badass self. If they are intimidated by you, that’s their problem, not yours. Last but not least, stop bringing up the kids in interviews. Just tell the interviewers they are fine and move it along. Also stop talking about Brad like you’re some Stepford wife, he sure as hell doesn’t talk about and compliment you the same way in his interviews. It’s not as if he needs the good press anyway, you’re the one who is portrayed as evil personified and maligned at every turn.

Thanks for that link Shay. Yet another reason to dislike this revolting brand. These are tacky, ostentatious, ugly bags carried by the likes of Paris Hilton and the bloody Kardashians, and Angelina walking through Cambodia barefoot (and sans fards of course!) listening to children laughing isn’t going to change that for me.
“(Beccari) would not discuss the amount Jolie was paid for the campaign, but says she did donate an undisclosed portion of her fees to charity.”
At least she’s giving some of it to charity, but the disparity between a luxury brand (shilled by a pretty movie star in a poverty stricken 3rd world country) that’s been made in factories by underpaid workers is strange.
Can’t help but compare how their last campaign was received.
