Commemorative significance

When I heard about the absurdity of the Los Angeles Police Department, I did not expect that in addition to the notorious street riots in history, they also have these creepy scandals.
This film is just like "Milk". The act of filming history has already achieved a certain commemorative significance, which is more than the artistic significance of the film. The tone of suspense and darkness from start to finish, I watched my hair stand on end at night - the most frightening thing is that this is not fictional, these things have really happened to seniors in broad daylight. What's more worth thinking about is that whenever people start to look back at history, it only shows that there is something wrong with reality. In the past, everyone could rely on authority to wipe out life and human rights, but is there no more now?
After more than two hours, the screen went black, and the words Clint Eastwood appeared, which surprised me. But after thinking about it, it was very reasonable. I have experienced the heaviness of this realism in "Mystic River", not to mention that the core values ​​of the United States are ultimately promoted. Angelina Jolie's appearance is still a little modern, and her literary drama at least did not detract from the film.

    Walter Collins disappeared on March 10, 1928, on his way to the cinema. The disappearance of the little boy has drawn national attention. Los Angeles police launched a massive search operation that was unsuccessful. The reputation of the police department has plummeted, and more and more people are putting pressure on the police department to resolve the incident as soon as possible. Until five months after Walter disappeared, a boy calling himself Walter appeared in public view.

    Worst work I've seen so far. Jolie single-handedly picked the role of the main heroine, and her acting skills were obviously going to be behind the scenes. In terms of drama, there are too many things to include, resulting in a loose structure and an unbalanced emotional foreshadowing. In the second half of the courtroom drama, the tension it should have was not achieved. This can be compared horizontally with "First Degree Fear". There are bright spots in the playlist, especially the scene in the mental hospital and the final hanging. It is a pity that it still falls into the old way of adapting real events. The characters are numerous and complex and the key points are not prominent. Many characters have become tools to promote the development of the plot, such as the arrested prostitute and the mother who survived the boy. Captain" is obviously more sensible in material stitching. The theme is deep enough, and this incident is used as a mirror to reflect the status quo of a specific era in the United States, so that the film's practical significance is greater than its artistic achievements. But the biggest flaw is also here - as a noir film, the ending actually tampered with the historical truth to give Cristine's so-called "hope", which is completely superfluous.
