315, Pearl Terrace, "Changeling". I didn't know anything about this movie when I watched it. That's good, and absorbing a movie in a very clean state of mind, I always feel it's the best. So I refrained myself from turning on the computer in front of me, and preventing myself from accessing the Internet for answers before the end of the film. Now I also cut off all the Internet, leave all interference, and write down a few words that belong to me.
When I watched it, I started watching it in the middle. I didn't know when the film was, but it told the story of the 1920s. I didn't even recognize the heroine at first, I thought it was a British woman because of the British style hat. Later, later! At a certain moment when she took off her hat, I recognized the face I should be familiar with, it turned out to be my very favorite actress Angelina Jolie! Although it's past the hour when I should rest, for Angelina Jolie's sake, I've decided to stick to watching the film. Of course, my perseverance was worth it. Jolie did not disappoint me. This film made me love her even more. She is no longer her, she is just that character. I think this is the result of the director and her success. Here, let's forget the actor himself and remember the role; and she is still her, although she has tried to lighten her makeup, her facial features are really very angular, even if only the flaming red lips are highlighted, even if the shoulders are thin, it makes me feel To her innate strength and toughness. No, strength and toughness may not be innate, that is, she has gone through hardships and cultivated into a vajra. So I think her characters are very vivid, as if she can always bring herself into the character and become a part of the character's life. Maybe it's my personal favoritism towards her, maybe it's because I lack her strong enough strength, whether on or off stage, I really like this woman.

Never start a fight, but always finish it. This sentence already sums up the heroine's attitude in the whole incident. She once taught her son that, and she has been practicing it. According to an online film review, Shakespeare wrote: "Be careful to avoid quarreling with others, but once a dispute has arisen, you should let the other party know that you are not to be taken lightly."

Hope.

-There's somthing new that I never get before today.
-What's that?
-Hope.
Look at her fiery red lips, spit out the word Hope softly, look at her thin back in this film, watch the story draw to a close When I typed out the subtitles, should I think of "Hope is always a good thing. Maybe the best.", but I didn't. The first sentence that popped into my head turned out to be "'The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part". No matter how bad the environment is, always give yourself even a little hope, fight for it, and agree with the second part, yes, worth.

As a digression, I actually watched Se7en because of Brad Pitt. Originally, I was looking for a handsome guy, but unexpectedly I got another movie that I couldn't choose to watch, but it was worth watching. I will not take the initiative to choose to watch too bloody and violent films. In fact, in the process of watching this film, I did choose to cover and ignore those scenes that I could not bear to watch. Having said that, the film that I first thought of from Jolie's film turned out to be Pitt's film, which is really interesting. These two are my favorite movie stars. I always like them to be the most famous couple in and out of the movie. Son, I always selfishly think that this should be the best combination, no matter what, I always hope that they will continue to be good.

About the murderer. When I saw the whole process of the execution, the whole process was so transparent, so transparent that I was a little shocked. I thought he fell into an invisible place, but it turned out to be completely public, and everyone could see it and see it completely. the whole process. Struggling, not moving, the doctor put on a stethoscope and listened, confirming that there were no signs of life. The heroine watched viciously during the whole process, and I can understand that she said she cursed him to hell because he wouldn't tell her before he died whether he killed her son or not. An online film reviewer said, "God said that He is equally merciful to those who believe in Him at birth and those who believe in Him just moments before they die. God is God, but don't expect a mother who has lost a child to do the same.
" When I saw this murderer, I was thinking that he must have some ideas and goals, otherwise he would kill so many children. Ordinarily, for such a shocking case, there should always be an explanation. Did you deliberately downplay this link, or did Pearl TV broadcast the edited version? The latter is more likely, but it is also beneficial to omit it. The reality is too dark and cruel, and it will only be more helpless and sad if you know it in depth. It is also said that perhaps the execution was carried out without a black hood, but he was finally afraid, and at the last second he hoped to be taken to heaven instead of hell. I think he's wishful thinking and I don't have enough mercy from God.

In the end, this film is from 2008. I confirmed that I did not watch this film that year, and that year, I did not give myself the opportunity to watch this film.

Changeling quotes

  • Christine Collins: Why would they do this?

    Rev. Gustav Briegleb: To avoid admitting they made a mistake when they brought back the wrong boy. Of course, anyone reading the newspaper with half a brain would see through it instantly. Sadly, that would exclude about half the readership of the Times. Mrs. Collins, I have made it my mission in life to bring to light all the things the LAPD wish none of us ever knew about. A department ruled by violence, abuse, murder, corruption and intimidation. When Chief Davis took over the force two years ago, he said...

    Chief James E. Davis: We will hold court against gunmen in the streets of Los Angeles. I want them brought in dead, not alive, and I will reprimand any officer who shows the least mercy to a criminal.

    Rev. Gustav Briegleb: He picked fifty of the most violent cops on the force, gave them machine guns and permission to shoot anyone who got in their way. He called them the Gun Squad. No lawyers, no trials, no questions, no suspensions, no investigations, just piles of bodies. Bodies in the morgues, bodies in the hospitals, bodies by the side of the road, and not because the LAPD wanted to wipe out crime. No. The LAPD wanted to wipe out the competition. Mayor Cryer and half the force are on the take: gambling, prostitution, bootlegging, you name it. Because once you give people the freedom to do whatever they want, as the Lord found in the Garden of Eden, they will do exactly that. This police department does not tolerate dissent or contradiction or even embarrassment. And you are in a position to embarrass them and they do not like it. They will do anything in their power to discredit you. I've seen it happen too many times to start going blind now. That's why I wanted to meet you, to let you know what you're getting yourself into and to help you fight it, if you choose to.

    Christine Collins: Reverend, I appreciate everything that you're doing and everything that you said, but I'm not on a mission. I just want my son home.

  • Dr. John Montgomery: He had two cavities that needed filling. He put up a fight, but I took care of it.

    Christine Collins: And?

    Dr. John Montgomery: Your son's upper front teeth were separated by a small tissue, a diastema. It made them sit about an eighth of an inch apart. The boy in that room has no such gap.

    Christine Collins: Can that change with age? Because that's what they're going to say.

    Dr. John Montgomery: In some cases, yes, it's possible. But the tissue between Walter's teeth prevents that from happening. You see, they can never come together without an operation to sever the tissue, and I can tell you right now that he has never had such an operation.

    Christine Collins: Would you be willing to put that officially in writing?

    Dr. John Montgomery: Pardon my language, but hell yes.
