Review of Changeling (2008) by Amy L — 07 Oct 2010
I watched this movie last night and was one of the most harrowing movies I have ever seen. Directed by the legendary Clint Eastwood, whom also used to be the Mayor of one my favourite Californian spots in the USA, and also starring Angelina Jolie.
It tells the true story of Christine Collins, a single mum in the â??20s, who comes home one day to find her son missing.
After a frustrating attempt to get the police to take her missing persons report seriously, Collins is overjoyed when they call to tell her that young Walter has been found. Only thing is, the kid that they return is not Walter.
When she tries to point out the mix up, the police convince her that she's in shock, and that her son has just "changed a little" in the five months he's been gone.
The more she protests, the more they insist. And so begins the gruelling battle to get her son back.
Even though the movie is hard going and unsettling in parts, it is very well made by Clint.
