Everyone has their own position

When you think you should be doing it, hope it turns out well! But after paying such a big price, I found that it was not as good as I thought! Perhaps the end of the film should not point out the irresponsible mother like this, and there is still a little warm hope. The sacrifice of the mother and daughter reunion is too great, and the reason may be to let the mother fulfill her promise and let the mother and daughter fulfill her promise. Don't leave your child's sight! But unfortunately, not as expected!
Think about it, the male protagonist's girlfriend didn't stand on his side in the end, the male protagonist came back to see the family he brought to the mother and daughter, what a great sacrifice: the lives of two police officers, a police detective retired early and only took Half of the pension, he was jailed because he was exposed, and the little girl's uncle was driven away by her sister, leaving behind a lonely little girl! Why exactly?
Director Ben Affleck has a very good grasp of reality, giving people a deep space for thinking!

    It’s another film that has raised many problems for American society and can’t find a solution. It’s a good book, and I look forward to the director’s new work~

    It turns out that stupid Affleck’s real talent is not that it’s well written in the playbook.

Gone Baby Gone quotes

  • Officer in Procession: [approaching Patrick and shaking his hand] Mr. Kenzie. Nice fucking job on Corwin Earle.

  • Patrick Kenzie: I'm calling state police in five minutes. They'll be here in ten.

    Capt. Jack Doyle: Thought you would've done that by now. You know why you haven't? Because you think this might be an irreparable mistake. Because deep inside you, you know it doesn't matter what the rules say. When the lights go out, and you ask yourself "is she better off here or better off there", you know the answer. And you always will. You... you could do a right thing here. A good thing. Men live their whole lives without getting this chance. You walk away from it, you may not regret it when you get home. You may not regret it for a year, but when you get to where I am, I promise you, you will. I'll be dead, you'll be old. But she... she'll be dragging around a couple of tattered, damaged children of her own, and you'll be the one who has to tell them you're sorry.

    Patrick Kenzie: You know what? Maybe that'll happen. And if it does, I'll tell them I'm sorry and I'll live with it. But what's never gonna happen and what I'm not gonna do is have to apologize to a grown woman who comes to me and says: "I was kidnapped when I was a little girl, and my aunt hired you to find me. And you did, you found me with some strange family. But you broke your promise and you left me there. Why? Why didn't you bring me home? Because all the snacks and the outfits and the family trips don't matter. They stole me. It wasn't my family and you knew about it and you knew better and you did nothing". And maybe that grown woman will forgive me, but I'll never forgive myself.

    Capt. Jack Doyle: I did what I did for the sake of the child. All right. For me, too. But now, I'm asking you for the sake of the child. I'm begging you. You think about it.
