Excellent film.

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2009)

A poor woman's life is ruined when she goes to work one day in Changeling. Directed by Clint Eastwood. Clint Eastwood's Changeling will engage you in every minute. Though this movie is a little too long, it is still great. I don't know if it's as good as Eastwood's Mystic river or Gran Torino, but it is a fantastic film anyways.
Changeling is the true story of a woman named Christine Collins(played greatly by Angelina Jolie in her Oscar nominated performance). Her life falls apart when she goes to work one day and when she returns she finds out that her son is gone.
When she goes to the police, they ignore her. But after six months, they say that they have found him. So when she goes to see her son, she realizes that it's not him. And when she tells that to the main detective shown(played by Jeffery Donovan), he doubts it the whole time. When she takes him home, she finds out that it is not her for sure.
Eventually for Christine's doubts, they lock her up in a mental hospital. You do find out what happened to her son. But I don't want to go into that because it is kind of creepy. As is the movie at times.
Even when I was younger, I have always hated cops. After seeing a film like Changeling, I hate them even more. The whole movie they are trying to make themselves look good. But they're not. They are all A-holes.
Jolie does very well as Christine Collins. John Malkovich does particularly get too much to do as a priest or whatever who believes in Christine. So, maybe this isn't Clint Eastwood's best film. But I was engaged by every minute of this movie. Big thumbs up.
