Changeling

I downloaded the movie Changeling a month ago, few weeks ago I watched it, and now then I'm writing a review on it. Talking about being way off schedule.


I'm really touched by Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Christine Collins, a distressed single mother who has no one to turn to when the police force turned their backs against her by plotting a cover-up on the founding of her child, and stubbornly refused to admit that they found the wrong child. At a period when the police force was corrupted and when the people no longer had trust in justice, Christine Collins' had no one to turn to but a pastor from a weekly radio broadcast to find justice.

Jolie's bold portrayal in this movie is provoking and really different from her previous roles she played normally with guns and a sexy stare to die for, like in the assassin movie Wanted or Tomb Raider. This time, her fragile role of expressed emotions mostly with bitter tears of desperation of a defeated mother has landed her with a another nomination as lead actress at the Oscars this year. Although she did not win, her versatility and range in her acting skills has done her far more than mere recognition and appraisal.

If it's award-winning roles, inspiring dialogues, expressive tears, passionate emotions and bold acting skills with values that you're looking for in a movie. Changeling is definitely the movie to watch.

haha I've already watched that movie! I loved it also, but I'm more on the acting skills and how committed they are on their characters like Angelina Jolie hehe.. Brad Pitt ok ok la but not that much dynamic in his role in Benjamin Button~
