Changeling

So, just came back for a movie:

Changeling: a child surreptitiously or unintentionally substituted for another (Dictionary.com). This is like one of the movies that I thought was one of the must-watch this season.

It’s full of emotions. It’s a movie that evokes lots of sympathy towards the protagonist and thus we feel indignant. It also evokes anger and frustration towards the antagonist (whom I think is the LAPD itself).

So it’s a movie which revolves around, in my opinion, corruption in upper authorities, inferiority of women in those times (1920s), the influence the media can have on people (in those times) and determination and perseverance.

And the stuff that they narrated really happened, which is kinda scary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeling_(film)#Historical_context
