I always thought that affleck's famous work was "Tehran", but after checking Wikipedia, I found out that this is his directorial debut. I can't believe it was my first time as a director to make a film that, in my opinion, would go down in history.
The conversation between Patrick and Morgen Freeman at the end was undoubtedly the biggest tear in the audience. You can be heartbroken when you see Amanda's photo for the first time, you can cry when you see her poisonous mother saying that I will never take drugs again, as long as my daughter comes back and I change everything, you can You can cry when you see Patrick risking his life to run upstairs to the second floor only to see the boy's body, you can cry when Uncle Amanda sits in the pub and tells about the disgusting child abuse done by the child's poisonous mother, you can Cries as Morgan Freeman recounts the death of her daughter. But, you don't have to cry, you can hold back, you can admire, this movie is really abusive, I'm really glad that there is no "based on a true story" in front of the movie, otherwise I can't help it . But you can't help it when you finally see Patrick and the Sheriff having what is arguably the most important conversation of the century about the little girl's future fate. The male protagonist has always been tepid. He looks like a loser on the outside, acts like a man, is fierce in his bones, speaks like a piece of tofu, but the last sentence "I don't want an adult woman to tell me, back then. You know where I am and I was stolen, why didn't you take me home? You were hired to investigate my whereabouts and you didn't keep your promise. Maybe she'll be fine after a while, but I won't "(Not completely accurate) This piece of dialogue reveals the true feelings, and most of them originally thought, "Oh, let her live at the sheriff's place, it should be like this, it will be good for her in the future! But there seems to be something wrong. Big pair..." The audience suddenly found the backbone. Originally, the unswerving support for the little girl should live in the director's house from now on suddenly turned into a slap in the face. Because, after all, you don't know what the future holds. After a few months, does Amanda start to miss her mother? Parents who are close to the age of grandparents, will they be questioned and discriminated against by other students in school (even the best school)? Where did I come from and what happened in the past? How did she react when she found out the truth? In the face of a 4-year-old girl who has nearly a lifetime of the future, your heart is not so sure that it must be right. At this time, after experiencing such a long period of abuse, your heart can no longer hold back, and tears welled up in your eyes. How could such a dilemma really occur? WTF? But in this situation, it is reasonable and reasonable.
So Patrick felt that he made the right decision, and the audience also felt that no matter what, the child still had to go back to his mother. Didn't she cry bitterly and say she wants to change? Maybe it really changed? After all, her brother can stop drinking for 23 years? However, in the final analysis, the audience, like Patrick, has no clue as to whether Patrick's choice is correct. So as I said in my short comment, Patrick has to pay attention to Amanda all the time, even more than his own daughter (if he has one in the future). Because he has to be sure at all times that he made the right decision at the time. But judging from the end of the film, it's a pretty rough start. There is a long way to go.

    The one that impressed me most was the continual fucking of a certain actor. . . . So after reading it, I wanted to say what the fucking subtitle is talking about?!

Gone Baby Gone quotes

  • Patrick Kenzie: [upon seeing Amanda's bare room] Kidnapped the furniture, too?

  • Capt. Jack Doyle: You ever investigated an abduction before?

    Patrick Kenzie: I think Mrs. McCready was hoping we could help with the neighborhood aspect of this investigation, the people, you know.

    Capt. Jack Doyle: How old are you?

    Patrick Kenzie: I'm thirty-one.

    Angie Gennaro: He just looks young.

    Capt. Jack Doyle: A four year old child is on the street. It's seventy-six hours and counting. And the prospects for where she might be are beginning to look grim, you understand? Half of all the children in these cases are killed, flat out. If we don't catch the abductor by day one, only about ten percent are ever solved. This is day three. He may look young, but if he wants to work this case, he better not act it.

    Patrick Kenzie: Well, he's been hired by a woman who's the victim of a crime, and by law he's entitled as her representative to be cooperated by the Boston Police Department. So he expects to be.

    Capt. Jack Doyle: And so he will be.
