The beginning is tragic, the middle is angry, and the end is shocking!

After being abused by Zhao Wei and Huang Bo's "Zunzi blockbuster" and "Dear", I accidentally found another very similar movie, that is, the Oscar nomination classic in 2008 - "Suspicious Clouds of Change" ".

The story takes place in Los Angeles in 1928. Angelina Jolie's mother Kristen Collins bids farewell to her son Walter before going to work, but when she returns from get off work, she finds that her son is gone. Christine has been searching for days without any news. A few months later, the police brought a 9-year-old boy to Christine, claiming that he was the missing Walter, but Christine did not know the boy. ! It turns out that behind the strangeness of "changing" the child, there is a huge conspiracy and evil hidden...

Overtime delay, missing the bus, the film uses a tense tone that implies risk factors, or explicitly or implicitly heralds the loss of the child. The negligence of the parents and the abduction of the bad guys have involved decades or even a lifetime of blood loss. Tears rolled in her eyes unconsciously when she saw Christine holding her son's bear. Yes, the child is a piece of flesh that fell from the mother, how can it not hurt?

But it is also the theme of finding children, but "Suspicious Clouds" seems to have been changing types and themes in the slow 140-minute rhythm. It started with a crime film about missing children, and then sued the Los Angeles police force by "changing" children. Bad governance.

With the development of the story, the heroine's image of the abuse in the mental hospital and the brave declaration of war against the corrupt forces has given a strong feminist color.

In the end, there was a feeling of horror and suspense. The fast-paced shots, the life-threatening background music, and the excellent performance of the actors made me go crazy beside me all the time, worrying about what the perverted killer did to her son!

Regrettably, her son was not found in the end, but no matter how long the search was, Christine persevered throughout her life! And this unfinished wait and search also left a touch of emotion and bitterness to the audience, just like the red lips on Christine's smiling lips, bright, firm and charming...

Maybe there are a lot of injustices in the society, or maybe women and children are destined to be vulnerable, but if you encounter some very attractive people, you should face them bravely, just like the heroine in the film said - "If you don't take the initiative to pick things up, But I will accompany you to the end!"

    1. The police said to Sanford, the boy who was coerced to kill by the killer: you put them in the ground, you can take them out of the ground. What a cruel policeman, this boy suffered more cruelly than the boy who was killed! Every time they got in the truck, I just wanted to die. After all he's a boy with a conscience, a 5 year old kid, like the troublemaker said: You can't do that, I'm just a kid. Poor, speechless, ignorant child. 2. A fluke
