Changeling

At first, Clint Eastwood's CHANGELING could appear to be following too closely in the footsteps of his earlier Oscar winner, MYSTIC RIVER, since both films center on a missing child. But while his previous film was based on a Dennis Lehane... Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) is a single mother working in 1928 Los Angeles when her son goes missing. A boy is returned to her months later by the police, and she begins to suspect that the boy returned to her is not the same boy she gave birth to. Joined by a local activist Reverend Briegleb (John Malkovich), Christine battles for justice against the corrupt L.A.P.D. while she continues to search for her child. As a result, Christine is slandered by the powers that be, and painted as an unfit mother. In this town, a woman who challenges the system is putting her life on the line. Jolie gives an authentic, anguished performance, and the on-screen tragedy is quite disturbing, largely because of its basis in reality. Inspired by actual events that occurred in 1920s-era Los Angeles.
