I wouldn't hesitate to give this film a top score of mine!

A seemingly simple and low-cost movie, but it is wonderful to the extreme.

The plot twists and turns! Yep, that's the word. And the bedding is deep. Xiaoben is really good at being a director and screenwriter!

The best part is the setting of the death of another child. This part of the plot leads to a flaw, and the story continues; it leads to Patrick's final choice. Actually, if I were him, I wouldn't send Amanda back. I will be the same as Angie. But I also understand his choice. A complete experience. It was the pain in his heart after the death of a little boy.

It's also a clean movie. The shots are clean, the plot clean. No cumbersome, no superfluous. Although the characters are not clear enough, the overall feeling is already in place.

Perhaps the final choice will become a struggling question. Like the last few minutes, I didn't even look closely. But I will ultimately choose to let Amanda grow up in an environment conducive to her growth. So, between law and morality, I choose morality. Patrick chose the law because of the last psychological shadow. Maybe also because he is male. I am female. Ha ha. But the word morality may also be wrong. Because he chose the law and did not abandon morality. He chose the law for morality. So, what exactly is morality? Or, am I using the wrong word at all? What should be used? Sense and Sensibility? Neither. I think this is a question worth pondering. I prefer this kind of movie.

Gone, Baby, Gone, a rare good film. reality. profound.

    [gunshots erupt]

  • Interrogating Officer: Now, you're at the quarry the other night, right? And you have no idea that this is a setup? You're baffled. Right?

    Patrick Kenzie: [smiling] No, because, strange as it might seem, I believe the police when they tell me something!

    Interrogating Officer: You're a fresh prick, you know that?
