A good movie is heartwarming.

Today I watched "Suspicious Clouds". Originally thought to be a suspense film like Bournemouth, it turned out to be a feature film like The King's Speech. The difference between a good movie and a bad movie is that a good movie makes you want to watch and touches a part of your heart.

What I felt most deeply about this film was the relentless pursuit of freedom and truth in the United States, oh no, in the West. Of course, this pursuit is based on the premise that the judicial and administrative powers restrict each other. In addition, the mass media is not subject to the so-called authority, so the ordinary citizen demonstrations in the film will deter the police station. The individual's sense of justice is also adequately protected, just like the policeman who exposed the facts of the crime. That's why pastors continue to inform the people of the truth through broadcasting. These things must be based on a sufficiently complete, balanced and impartial right to check each other.

There are also some details I have noticed, which are the gentleness of European and American men and the elegance and calmness of women that I really like. These may also have to be built on the accumulation of urban culture for many years, so they are slowly and subtly incorporated into the words and deeds of every ordinary person. I also had this feeling when I went to Hong Kong some time ago. Just like the grace and openness of the Tang Dynasty people in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,500 years ago, they all come from the same cultural self-confidence. However, the antiquity of the Tang Dynasty is still limited to its contribution to ancient civilization, while modern scientific civilization has flourished and developed in Europe and the United States. From a broader and broader perspective, the world civilization is a whole, and the Chinese civilization has already exerted its influence on the world. In the past three centuries, the West has entered the stage of history and began to show its charm. . Whether it’s science, technology, culture, or politics, I have to admit that Western civilization does have a strong impact on the civilization that shapes our era. Although it is necessary to maintain one’s own culture, it is just a non-mainstream view. Cultural stubborn resistance. Perhaps it is a wise move to follow the most advanced countries of the same era at any time like Japan, and the correct historical choices that Japan has often made in history has proved this.

The topic is too far away. Of course, what touched me the most about this film is the empathy I feel as a woman, or for us who are going to be mothers after all, the reason why Collins can persevere in looking for it is because of her love for her son. Strong maternal love. I don't know if men can feel this feeling too, at least as a woman, I know exactly what kind of feeling that is hidden in the deepest part of the body and mind that supports her going on.

America, freedom, democracy, rule of law, advanced. If you can't touch her, then at least you can go to see her ardent follower, Japan. It's also very good to see the leopard in the tube.

Changeling quotes

  • Detective Lester Ybarra: If that's how you want it, then I guess we're done here. Tell county jail we're remanding him for trial.

    Arthur Hutchins: Wait. I didn't do anything. I wasn't even here when it happened.

    Detective Lester Ybarra: By pretending to be Walter Collins, you're interfering in a police investigation of a kidnapping and murder. We can try you as accomplice to that murder after the fact. That's too bad. County jail is a lot worse than a juvenile hall or a foster home. It's a lot worse.

    Arthur Hutchins: You can't do that. I'm just a kid.

    Detective Lester Ybarra: Mm. Sanford Clark's a kid, too. Fifteen. He's going to jail. All murderers and their accomplices go to jail. Everybody knows that. Get him out of here. It's out of my hands now.

    Arthur Hutchins: Wait. I don't want to go to jail.

    Detective Lester Ybarra: [pause] Prove it.

    Arthur Hutchins: I... I knew Los Angeles is where they make the Tom Mix movies. I figured if I could meet Tom Mix, maybe he would let me ride on his horse. His horse is named Tony. Did you know that?

  • Dr. Jonathan Steele: According to your file, you believe that the police substituted a fake boy for your son.

    Christine Collins: No, I didn't say he was a fake boy. He's not *my* boy. They brought home the wrong boy. My son is still missing.

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: Well, that's strange, because I have here a newspaper article with a photo of you at the train station, welcoming home your son.

    [shows her the article]

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: That is you in the photo, isn't it?

    Christine Collins: Yes.

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: So, at first, he was your son and now he's not your son. Has this been going on for a long time? People changing, becoming something other than what they are?

    Christine Collins: People don't change.

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: You don't think people change?

    Christine Collins: No, that's not what I...

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: Shh! The police, they're not out to persecute you?

    Christine Collins: No, they're not.

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: No, they're not. The police are here to protect you.

    Christine Collins: Yes.

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: Really?

    Christine Collins: Yes.

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: Well, that's odd, because when you were admitted, you told the head nurse that the police were conspiring *deliberately* to punish you. So, either the head nurse and the interns are also conspiring to punish you or you're changing your story.

    [pause]

    Dr. Jonathan Steele: Do you often have trouble telling reality from fantasy, Mrs. Collins?

    Christine Collins: No...
