Hollywood version of peekaboo

This time, the time of hide and seek was moved to 80 years ago. The location was moved from a prison in Yunnan, China to Los Angeles, USA. The protagonist was also replaced by the world's sexiest goddess Angelina, who performed the Hollywood version of hide and seek. Hide and seek was adapted into a real serial disappearance of children in the United States in 1928. This time, Angelina took off her usual sexy and wild appearance and replaced it with a thin and gaunt single mother Christine.

Three months after the single mother Christine's son went missing one day, the Los Angeles police reported a boy to Christine, who they said was Christine's Son, Christine knew at first sight that this boy was not her son. The police searched for Christine's son, and the boy they found was a deer. It was only because of the media's tracking reports and the pressure of social public opinion that they found a substitute son for Christine, completely fooling the victim and deceiving. people.

Christine repeatedly stated to the police that the boy was not his son, and hoped that the police would continue to track down his son's whereabouts. The police determined that Christine was unreasonable, did not cooperate with the police, disturbed social order, and sent Christine to a mental hospital as a mental patient. What Christine has to face is all kinds of mental tests, pills, electric shocks, treatment, and control. If a normal person tells a worker in a mental hospital that he is not sick, it can only prove that he is seriously ill, and he needs to stay. Treated in a mental hospital.

In fact, Christine's son was killed in a serial murder case of children, and the Los Angeles police still put their own oolongs in order to protect their own interests. If Christine is "Tomb Raider" at this time, Laura, who is agile and powerful, can save her son from the murderer with her ability alone, if Christine has "Original Sin" at this time The femme fatale Julia's beauty trick impresses the police officer, who pretends to be handsome, to do her filial piety. At this time, Christine was just a weak woman who could only find her son through the help of the body and the church. This is an imbalance between ordinary citizens and state power.

Angelina is thin and strong in Eastwood's film. Angelina was nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars in 2009 with this film, but she lost to Kate Winslet. Personally, I think Angelina lost not her acting skills, but just a bit of luck, because Angelina already had it. There is a golden statue, and Oscar has been ignoring Kate Winslet's acting breakthrough efforts for many years. In early 2009, Kate Winsley, who had two golden balls in the bag, only awarded the statue to Kate Winslet. It is more like Oscar An undoing of years of missteps, a consolation for Kate Winsley and her supporters. So there is nothing disgraceful for Angelina to lose, and she praised her performance in "Suspicious Clouds".

    6.0 didn't like Jolie's performance, and the inexplicable motives of most of the characters in the film. The sudden protest of 10,000 people and the swear words of the hostess hospital made me feel like I was sprinting for 200 meters without warming up. It was too sudden. In 5 minutes, the father left because of his responsibility, but he never mentioned the front line with the fake son at the end, which gave me a feeling of screaming just after 10 minutes of warm-up and squatting down to get ready to start. So I don't know what I'm looking at. Maternal love, struggle against corruption, feminism, and perfection of the law are all concrete manifestations of the core event of finding a son, but they are all extremely powerless at such a pale and hasty ending. An open ending that seems to know whether to live or die without knowing whether to unite or not? Is it necessary? Take that little boy as an example. There is absolutely no reason for him not to go home. It's too far-fetched. Will he go home? Can the police find it? "The reason for not looking for the police was that the police would blame him, and the reason why I finally went home was because I missed my mother." Did the director not read the script? Is this human psychology? Can't tell the importance of the matter and reluctantly explained that he was young, but if he was arrested for an hour when he was young, he would call his mother for 5 years, okay?

    I always have a soft spot for such stories of individuals fighting against the system and successfully changing their physique. Jolie's most explosive performance since the movie is a sublimation of the entire film: a steady and orderly narrative development, accurate and unmistakable application of light angles, With one or two seemingly careless long shots, Dongmu Tou tells a heartwarming story with the most down-to-earth cinematic techniques, and it's easy to come by.
