's title Changeling is a Chinese translation of the name, and I hate this translation after watching the movie. It's too commercial. Although Clint Eastwood is an actor-turned-politician, this film is completely filming the rough law enforcement system and perfunctory service of the police office under centralized power, citizens are unprotected and bullied by police, and because this system is bad people can survive.
Because of the love of Clint Eastwood and recommended by several movies. That's why I put my suspicions on changing the child a long time ago, and I haven't watched it since I downloaded it, because what happened in this country in recent years has made me take into account the content of the movie, and I'm afraid that my rational will will have to carry more of this negative energy story. , affect mood. But I still read it in the early hours of this morning. The works of the 78-year-old Red Dead Redemption also changed according to real events, with the ease, sharpness and depth of the same. Throughout the movie, the old man continued to do what he did best as a director: uncovering scars.
It's different than the obscure anti-dream theme of million dollars, the post-war meaning and prejudice of classic cars, the freedom of a short escape on a good day, or a letter from Huangyan Island, etc. The Suspicious Clouds and the others have the same thing in common, that is, a heavy, tragic ending. The story he shot in Los Angeles in the 1930s was like shooting in China today, and the Los Angeles Police Department at that time was like the epitome of ZF in China today. That's why I couldn't resist writing this afterthought at three o'clock at night, not a movie review.
The film begins with Angelina Jolie's Collins' mother, who goes to work as a substitute, leading to the disappearance of her son. From the details at the beginning, it can be seen that Mrs. Collins is very reluctant to help a friend to replace the shift. First, she does not want to break the promise of taking her son to the cinema, and second, she is worried about community security. There is also a very interesting scene, Walter Collins fights with his classmates at school because of his father's problems, but in the end he can only get the fighting guidelines about Never start a fight, always finished it from his mother. And when he asked his mother why she had never met his father, Kristin Collins replied that his father was scared away on the day he was born by something called responsibility, which also implied that the powerful police behind him did something wrong: The same man, the same duty and responsibility of the protector, but the same escape. Facing these men (bad guys) is the thin mother in front of the camera and her lively children who have just walked out of school.
Entering the focus of the film, it is also the content that is most often cited like today's China. Weak victims and law enforcement agencies rife with corruption and violence struggle. Under the system in which the law enforcement system is full of corruption and law enforcement officers hold a lot of money and power, the justice of the victims depends more on luck, without touching the high-level law enforcement officials and without attracting public attention. In some cases, under the influence of the public, the law enforcement system only gives victims "face project". In the film, Ms. Collins obtained the "fake Walter Collins" from police to pretend to be her child through public opinion. This is such a "face project" . When the "face project" is torn apart by public opinion again, law enforcement officials will use the official practice of denying the victim to make the public doubt the object of sympathy. Without the help of external forces with both justice and strength, it is generally absurd At this point the case can be ended and the victim becomes a bad guy or a weirdo. But the movie is not over. The movie could have said that Collins won the police office with help, and finally found the lost son: inspirational. But the movie leads the story to a deeper and darker situation. Collins lost his child. Because the police office is looking for a replacement, the possibility of finding the lost child is getting smaller and smaller. As a result, Collins has been accused of killing children for fun. The pervert killed (and the reason the pervert was first investigated by the police office was because of a smuggling case). So a conscientious policeman in the police office found that nearly twenty children died tragically at the hands of perverts for the same reason. Later, it was also because of this policeman who still had a conscience that the case was excavated. Otherwise, this appalling case would probably never exist because of the police office's cover-up of the Collins case.
In today's China, it is very likely that the tragic deaths of Collins and the other nineteen children would not have been discovered, let alone justice to the victims and criminal suspects. So in the 1930s police in los angeles were protected citizen was a joke, not even in China of this moment.
China is not as good as America at that time, and the reason can be imagined.
The dark law enforcement system and the greedy and stupid law enforcement officers are not only unable to bring justice to the victims. And it brings the victim and the rest of the population into a more dangerous and twisted environment, as the real killer remains at large. The act of covering up will only aggravate the depth of the victim's corpse underground, so deep that there is no more truth on the ground (All of these are Products in concentration of power).
In fact, the movie is not over yet. Later, the perverted and corrupt officials were sacked, but Walter Collins could not be found. Although the movie gave Walter Collins the possibility to live, it gave her mother the hope she was looking for. But this is comforting the audience in the cinema. I have been clinging to this only luck, hoping that he will help Mrs. Kristin Collins and the society of Los Angeles at the time to achieve this last remaining justice. But in the end walter collins still failed to come back. (In the true story, the missing child was pronounced dead at the end of the case.)
