Here’s the complete story.
But now the villagers of this tiny, close-knit community have angrily accused the comedian of exploiting them, after discovering his new blockbuster film portrays them as a backward group of rapists, abortionists and prostitutes, who happily engage in casual incest.
…
Disabled Nicu Tudorache said: This is disgusting. They conned us into doing all these things and never told us anything about what was going on. They made us look like primitives, like uncivilised savages. Now they,re making millions but have only paid us 15 lei [around £3].
I’m confused. Are they offended that they are portrayed as “rapists, abortionists, and prostitutes” or that they weren’t paid enough? Reading this story, it seems to be the latter. I think their priorities are just a little askew.
