CHANGELING is a harrowing film based on a true story about Christine Collins and her search for her lost nine-year old son who went missing in Los Angels in 1928. On her distressing journey to find her son, she was confronted with lies, deceit and the unanswered question of her son’s whereabouts.
Her resilience and determination to find her missing son uncovered a corruption deeply rooted in the higher echelons of that time – from the police up to the mayor who were eventually dismissed to the people’s cheers.
The challenges that Christine Collins went through just to find her son are overwhelming. Initially, you might think that this lady, as embodied by Angelina Jolie, looked so shy and unassuming. However, as the film progresses, so to does her strength of character.
The film shows a mother’s love knows neither bounds nor limits. It shows how one’s determination could make a difference, even in the depths of despair and sadness.
Angelina Jolie was believable as Christine Collins. And the handiwork of Clint Eastwood as director is near faultless. The union between director and actor in this film is sublime. This film is worth seeing.
