The world is as dark as crows, and the corrupt governments are all similar. They use lies to maintain their image, use one lie to make another lie, and when they are seen through, they will do unspeakable dirty and despicable things behind their backs. They are more terrifying and heinous beings than murderers, and they are no different from Hitler.
And the same thing happens every day, all around us on this side of the ocean, this is the most frightening place to watch.
Americans were able to defeat the corrupt Goliath in this way because their people fought bravely, and because their laws and democracy allowed it.
But what about us?

We are now like they were then. The scary thing is not that we have to go through the pain they went through, because the development of history always has a similar trajectory, it is inevitable. The scary thing is that there is no possibility of change, no feasible solution, no hope.
Julie finally said that although my son has not yet been found, he has given me something I have never had in the past few years - hope. People can live well because there is hope, and when there is no hope, every day is gloomy.

------------------------

Every time I see a film that explores human nature, I always have an irrepressible thought, born as a human being, why the conscience can be completely wiped out to this point. We are human, how can we do such a thing?

Those corrupt demons should be paraded through the streets, cast out, thrown rotten eggs, and nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and they should be made to think from their hearts that they will never be able to lift their heads, and then be delayed to death.
I know it doesn't seem right to say that, but as the prostitute in the mental hospital said, "Speak like that when you have nothing".

------------------------

I didn't pay much attention to Eastwood before, but today I found out that so many masterpieces are from his hands. There's a lot more homework to make up.

As for Julie, the surprise was even greater. Now I know that not only was she nominated for an Oscar for this film, she had even won it before. At the time, she held a grudge against her for taking Pete from her beloved Rachel. Later, I learned a lot about her daily actions, and I found out that she is indeed a very special existence among Hollywood sexy beauties, and I also understood why Pitt chose her.

    Evil society has great motherhood. Jolie's acting is not bad, and the story is also profound and thought-provoking, but it feels a bit abrupt and hasty when solving the "killing a child" case, and it seems too long-winded in the end. Fuck you and the horse you are riding on! Why is our society always "being" employed and "being" committed suicide.

    The old cowboy also took pictures of his relatives. 1. Adapted from real events, it presents American society, justice, and police-community relations in the late 1920s and early 1930s. A strong mother who is obsessed with finding her children, although her struggle against the system is difficult, fortunately, there is the help of the media. Using the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as a target of corruption is reminiscent of [LA Confidential]. 2. Dongmu's narration is as calm as ever, and once again he personally performed the soundtrack. Several young actors (especially the repentant accomplice children) performed brilliantly, and Angelina Jolie's performance was a matter of opinion. 3. The photography and lighting are excellent. Many dark and high-contrast lighting are similar to film noir. The characters are often hidden in the shadows. The low-saturation, slightly brown tones also match the atmosphere of the 1920s and 1930s. The black and white-color gradients that echo each other are also very historical. 4. Homage to old movies: The boys who came to LA for Western star Tom Meeks and his steed Tony, [It Happened One Night] Oscar (though it wasn't as public at the time). 5. The priest has a cowboy character~ (8.0/10)

Changeling quotes

  • Judge: Does the defendant wish to make a statement before judgement is passed?

    Gordon Northcott: I want to make it real clear that I never once got a fair shake from you, Your Honor, or from this court. The only one in here worth a good goddamn is her.

    [points to Christine Collins]

    Gordon Northcott: 'Cause she's the only one who never badmouthed me to the press. She's the only one who understands what it is to be framed by the police for something you didn't do.

    Judge: All right, that's enough.

    Gordon Northcott: And then to just be thrown in the hole to just rot and to fester and to be forgotten and fade away, isn't that right?

    [runs over to Christine]

    Judge: Counsel!

    Gordon Northcott: I never killed your boy, Mrs. Collins.

    Judge: Counsel, that's enough!

    Gordon Northcott: I would never do that! I would never hurt Walter!

    Judge: Counsel, get control of your client or I'll have him bound and gagged!

    Gordon Northcott: He's an angel!

    [to his lawyer]

    Gordon Northcott: Get off of me!

  • 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?
