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.

Changeling quotes

  • Carol Dexter: Everybody knows women are fragile. I mean, they're all emotions, no logic, there's nothing going on upstairs. Every once in a while, they say something that's a little inconvenient, they just go fucking nuts. Pardon my French. If we're insane, nobody has to listen to us. I mean, who are you going to believe, some crazy woman trying to destroy the integrity of the force, or a police officer?

  • Chief James E. Davis: Captain, your handling of the Christine Collins case has exposed this department to public ridicule. There is even the possibility of civil and criminal liability.

    Capt. J.J. Jones: Sir, nobody could've known what was happening up at that ranch. Not us, the sheriff's department, or the marshal's office, and as for the Collins woman, I'm still not convinced that her boy is among the victims up in Wineville.

    Chief James E. Davis: No?

    Capt. J.J. Jones: No. There were four other photos of missing boys that looked a lot like him. The Clark kid could've been mistaken.

    Chief James E. Davis: Maybe he was, which begs the obvious question: Who cares?

    Capt. J.J. Jones: Sir?

    Chief James E. Davis: The mayor wants this to go away. I want this to go away! The way you do that is stop insisting that Walter Collins is not among those boys killed up at that goddamn ranch! Because if the boy you brought back is not Walter Collins and he's not dead up at that ranch, then where the hell is he? People are going to want to know why we haven't found him, why we're not doing our job! But if, on the other hand, he is, or could be, among those poor boys killed up in Wineville, then the inquiries stop.

    Chief James E. Davis: It's a momentary embarrassment you're just going to have to live with. Better a short inconvenience than a lingering problem, wouldn't you say, Captain?

    Capt. J.J. Jones: Yes, sir.

    Chief James E. Davis: The boy's been gone nearly a year. If he was going to be found, it would have happened by now. Whether he was up at that ranch or not, the truth is he probably is dead somewhere. Better his mother accept that now than later, don't you think?

    Capt. J.J. Jones: Yes, sir.

    Chief James E. Davis: Good. That'll be all, Captain.
