A child, her mother is a drug addict who can't protect herself, and her "adopter" is a legitimate professional person, how would you choose who will raise the child? In order to get the child out of the bad situation of a good mother, the "adoptor" illegally takes the child away from its mother. How would you choose?
This choice is what the movie "Gone, Baby, Gone" (translated as "Missing Baby", "Missing Person") shows the audience. It is a value judgment, a choice between law and ethics. But this proposition is inappropriate, because under the current legal conditions, if the guardian's behavior is obviously unfavorable to the ward, he can be deprived of his guardianship. Interests.
What would your answer be if the choice between mother and "adoptee" was not taken into account by the above-mentioned laws?
The actor in the film finally chose his mother, but after handing the child over to his mother, I feel that he regrets it again. If I had a choice, I would consider this issue from the child's standpoint and make the decision that is best for the child.
In fact, the most classic legal and ethical choice case day is the choice of the Germans on the issue of Nazi German law and respect for Jewish life during World War II, which is also the legal basis for the Nuremberg Trials.
For this film, I recommend it in terms of content, and it is poor in terms of storytelling.
