There is a love that transcends all

It's not an easy task to write something for a movie. First, it has to make me feel something, and second, it has to make me feel something. According to this standard, "Suspicious Clouds" made me feel that I wanted to write this article, and it also represented its status in my mind: this is a good film, and it is a film that can be solemnly recommended to my friends.

The first surprise came from the transformation of Angelina Jolie. This sturdy woman who always showed her "cold to the end" image was so gentle and forbearing this time, showing a mother who loves her son deeply. Whether it is the tenderness when whispering beside the bed, or the pain when I was shocked to hear that my son was missing, and the joy when I mistakenly thought that the child was found, the bravery when I insisted on finding the child and fought against the powerful state apparatus, and the persistence that I did not give up believing The belief that Aiko is still alive. . . This scene, scene by scene, made my heart hang high from time to time, worrying about the impending misfortune; at the same time, it gave me hope, because with such a mother, I felt that miracles were possible.

This is a gripping movie. At the beginning, the peaceful and peaceful neighborhood and the warm and tranquil mother-son relationship gave people a soothing mood. In the slow background music, it even gave people the illusion that "the movie should take the warm route". ; After that, the son disappeared, and the panicked and worried mother searched everywhere but failed to find it and had to turn to the police. We would naturally think, isn't it just the usual way of looking for someone? Either we need to work hard in the process or create some suspense in the result, since It's called "Suspicious Clouds of Change". It shouldn't be my son who was found. Well, the plot design is a bit interesting, but it's not too special. We wisely predicted the plot, laid out the corresponding emotions in advance, and waited for the movie to follow. acted. . . But I was wrong. It is not her son that the police department found. In addition to making a mother who was already suffering enough to be unacceptable and on the verge of collapse, the corruption, incompetence, dereliction of duty and stubbornness of the regional police department also slowly revealed the tip of the iceberg: in order to calm the public Questioned by the police department's ability to do things, they forced her to admit that this was her son, and even offered various so-called "professional judgments" to prove their arguments.

She is just an ordinary mother. She doesn't know the so-called inside story and has no intention to be the hand to uncover the dark side. She just wants to find her own son and bring him home; and this simple wish has become the police station to protect itself. "Image" stumbling block.

The film reaches its climax here. I started to get nervous, because it was obvious that the police department could use extraordinary means to solve her big trouble, but she didn't know it, she was still so sad, ignorant, and desperate for help in a low voice, don't you know this Is helping people who have long since lost their conscience? With her being put in a mental hospital, and with the doctor turning black and white, I became more worried and more apprehensive. That kind of humiliation and inhuman treatment was enough to drive a normal person crazy. But I still underestimate the power of a mother. For the sake of her children, she can grow up quickly, she can become rational and tenacious, she can compromise and resist, and even despise all the powerful forces and potential rules in this world. At that moment, she refuses to confirm She was so beautiful that she signed the book in exchange for her freedom, and even the swear words that were unpleasant to the ears became appealing.

True and false, there will always be a distinction; right and wrong, there will always be a judgment. The discovery of the serial killer case of the child abuse proved the police department's mistake. The result of trying to hide the truth was to be ridiculed and counterattacked. The public's anger was completely ignited, and she also ushered in justice and the truth. She is in pain. She always bowed her head and smiled or did not smile. She rescued patients who were also treated unfairly in the mental hospital, but she did not take credit. She was willing to give comfort and strength to women who were also suffering from the loss of their children. She was angry and fearful. , but she never lost hope, even the meager to almost no hope can be magnified by a mother into a belief that illuminates her life. Words can't express my admiration, and for my mother, I can't express my love for her. of gratitude.

This is not an inevitable emotion, but as long as it exists, no matter how much, it is beyond everything in the minds of children. Without a drop of water, there is nothing in the world that has no reason to ask for it?

I sincerely hope that she in the film can find her son. Even if there is no chance to meet in this world, then, "when one day you go to a place where all your relatives and lovers will be reunited, he will know everything you do, and he will be there waiting for you".

Changeling quotes

  • Christine Collins: Why would they do this?

    Rev. Gustav Briegleb: To avoid admitting they made a mistake when they brought back the wrong boy. Of course, anyone reading the newspaper with half a brain would see through it instantly. Sadly, that would exclude about half the readership of the Times. Mrs. Collins, I have made it my mission in life to bring to light all the things the LAPD wish none of us ever knew about. A department ruled by violence, abuse, murder, corruption and intimidation. When Chief Davis took over the force two years ago, he said...

    Chief James E. Davis: We will hold court against gunmen in the streets of Los Angeles. I want them brought in dead, not alive, and I will reprimand any officer who shows the least mercy to a criminal.

    Rev. Gustav Briegleb: He picked fifty of the most violent cops on the force, gave them machine guns and permission to shoot anyone who got in their way. He called them the Gun Squad. No lawyers, no trials, no questions, no suspensions, no investigations, just piles of bodies. Bodies in the morgues, bodies in the hospitals, bodies by the side of the road, and not because the LAPD wanted to wipe out crime. No. The LAPD wanted to wipe out the competition. Mayor Cryer and half the force are on the take: gambling, prostitution, bootlegging, you name it. Because once you give people the freedom to do whatever they want, as the Lord found in the Garden of Eden, they will do exactly that. This police department does not tolerate dissent or contradiction or even embarrassment. And you are in a position to embarrass them and they do not like it. They will do anything in their power to discredit you. I've seen it happen too many times to start going blind now. That's why I wanted to meet you, to let you know what you're getting yourself into and to help you fight it, if you choose to.

    Christine Collins: Reverend, I appreciate everything that you're doing and everything that you said, but I'm not on a mission. I just want my son home.

  • Dr. John Montgomery: He had two cavities that needed filling. He put up a fight, but I took care of it.

    Christine Collins: And?

    Dr. John Montgomery: Your son's upper front teeth were separated by a small tissue, a diastema. It made them sit about an eighth of an inch apart. The boy in that room has no such gap.

    Christine Collins: Can that change with age? Because that's what they're going to say.

    Dr. John Montgomery: In some cases, yes, it's possible. But the tissue between Walter's teeth prevents that from happening. You see, they can never come together without an operation to sever the tissue, and I can tell you right now that he has never had such an operation.

    Christine Collins: Would you be willing to put that officially in writing?

    Dr. John Montgomery: Pardon my language, but hell yes.
