Clint Eastwood does it again...

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2010)

Ever since Eastwood donned the director's hat he has produced masterpieces in almost every genre and style of movie making. Be it the enigmatic stranger in High Planes Drifter or the wronged Rebel in Josey Wales. His legendary Western Unforgiven where he virtually shanghaied the movie industry into respecting the genre by the gripping and meaningful portrayal of human emotions and ethics in Classic Western settings goes on to show the man's insightful view of the art of movie making.Mystic River,Million dollar Baby,Gran Torino, Letters From Iwo Jima ....it is just unbelievable.
Changeling is another feather on his "Hat" .
Changeling is an emotionally charged story of a mother's struggle against an incorrigibly corrupt establishment where expediency and shoddy conceptions of power reign supreme.
Angelina Jolie gives one her finer performances , but it is the story and direction which take away the honors.
Direct in it's approach and simple in structure like all Eastwood Movies the movie is beautifully made. It scores very high in subject matter treatment . Full of Eastwood's archetypal conceptions on Morality, Good , evil the movie forces one to cry for the saint as well the sinner.
Hope and Hopelessness are just two sides of the same coin. The agony caused by uncommonly horrendous occurrences and the stand taken up by common and ordinary individuals is showcased in this movie.
A thriller in it's own right yet at the same time a brilliant Drama , I feel Eastwood lays before us a superlative depiction Human Emotions in all shades and colors .
