Boy, let's go

Sure enough, there are more than N scalpers at the entrance of Hubei. Before buying the scalper ticket, I even wore a red light. The first time I bought scalper tickets, I was a little nervous. But the scalper is even more nervous than me. First, the 30 yuan ticket will be sold for 20, and then the 40 ticket will be sold for 20. In fact, my psychological price is between 15-25. Seeing his asking price of 20, I always have to pay it back. So he cut it to 15, he didn't say much, and the deal was done.

15 yuan to watch 141 minutes of American blockbusters, absolute value. But Hubei is not worth 15 yuan, or even 5 yuan. A good film, at least half of the time has problems with focus. And there's a little girl who dresses around like she has ADHD and makes weird baby noises. Hubei, you are too bad. Before the subtitles were finished, the staff came to the scene. Alas~

The United States in 1928 was at least similar to the third- and fourth-tier Chinese cities around 2000. It seems to be someone else's business, but it makes the Chinese people worry, because we are not as good as others!

    Walter Collins disappeared on March 10, 1928, on his way to the cinema. The disappearance of the little boy has drawn national attention. Los Angeles police launched a massive search operation that was unsuccessful. The reputation of the police department has plummeted, and more and more people are putting pressure on the police department to resolve the incident as soon as possible. Until five months after Walter disappeared, a boy calling himself Walter appeared in public view.

    Worst work I've seen so far. Jolie single-handedly picked the role of the main heroine, and her acting skills were obviously going to be behind the scenes. In terms of drama, there are too many things to include, resulting in a loose structure and an unbalanced emotional foreshadowing. In the second half of the courtroom drama, the tension it should have was not achieved. This can be compared horizontally with "First Degree Fear". There are bright spots in the playlist, especially the scene in the mental hospital and the final hanging. It is a pity that it still falls into the old way of adapting real events. The characters are numerous and complex and the key points are not prominent. Many characters have become tools to promote the development of the plot, such as the arrested prostitute and the mother who survived the boy. Captain" is obviously more sensible in material stitching. The theme is deep enough, and this incident is used as a mirror to reflect the status quo of a specific era in the United States, so that the film's practical significance is greater than its artistic achievements. But the biggest flaw is also here - as a noir film, the ending actually tampered with the historical truth to give Cristine's so-called "hope", which is completely superfluous.

Changeling quotes

  • Christine Collins: He's not my son!

    Capt. J.J. Jones: Why are you doing this, Mrs. Collins? Why are you doing this? You seem perfectly capable of taking care of the boy. Your job pays you enough to attend to his personal needs, so I don't understand why you're running away from your responsibilities as a mother.

    Christine Collins: I am not running away from anything! Least of all my responsibilities! I am even taking care of that boy right now, because I am all he has! What worries me is that you have stopped looking for my son!

    Capt. J.J. Jones: Why should we be looking for someone we've already found?

    Christine Collins: Because you have not found him.

  • 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.
