The Movie: Changeling
by Chris Padgett on Nov.16, 2008, under Favorite Movie
A good movie is currently playing at theaters right now called Changeling. I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I really can’t say if it is good or isn’t. I do know it’s a true story and from the previews, it looks like a really good movie. I think movie go’ers are agreeing with me, because it continues to stand strong at the box offices. It’s currently listed as the 5th top movie and Changeling may stay in the top 10 for a while.
The story revolves around a woman that loses her son and counts on the Los Angeles Police Department to help her find him. The police was under a lot of pressure to find this boy, so instead of actually finding him, they find an imposter to portray the child. The woman knows it’s not her son and pleads with police to find her real son. The police target the woman and try to convince folks that she is crazy and her son has been found.
I think this is a good story line for a fictional movie, but when you factor in the events are based on true facts, it makes it a must-see movie. Changeling is a unique movie and this is what Hollywood needs most right now. The same old stories are not working as well these days and we crave new material in our local theaters. I’m not sure why this story has been kept away from the public all of these years, but maybe the movie will shed some light on this. I do plan to go watch this movie and I think it will be worth the price of admission. Please feel free to leave your reviews or thoughts on this movie, just make sure you don’t give away any spoilers that might dampen the movie experience. Changeling is the top playing movie right now, that has my attention the most.
