Clint Eastwood jr. wird im Mai 79 Jahre alt. Müde ist der alte Mann allerdings überhaupt nicht. Er gehört zu den wichtigsten Regisseuren des gern gescholtenen Hollywood-Kinos.
In Changeling (in Deutschland am 07.11.2008 angelaufen unter dem Titel "Der fremde Sohn"; Schweden-Premiere vergangenen Freitag) Eastwood tells a true story.
The 9-year-old son of single mother Christine Collins (Golden Globe-nominated Angelina Jolie) disappears without a trace. The corrupt police in LA brings the mother back after five months of the wrong child. When she tried to explain to the police that the child is not hers, it falls on deaf ears, is even forced to a psychiatric hospital from which she is rescued by a police critical pastor (John Malkovich).
place in a subplot about a runaway boy, the police, the ranch of a man murdered, according to the boy about 20 guys added. One of them was Walter Collins.
Eastwoord shows us the "treatment" of Christine Collins with just as much cruelty as the detailed execution of mass murderer. The rebellious women is classified as hysterical and such women are in accordance with § 12 in the clinic.
The story is filmed with their original names very detailed. One, however, have omitted the filmmaker. The killer Gordon Northcott had at the atrocities the help of his mother, who turned out later than his Grandmother, his sister was his mother. The murders went under the title Wineville Chicken Coop Murders in the American detective story one.
Eastwood's film from a screenplay by J. Michael Straczynski focused however on the lookout for her son desperately seeking mother and stands above all a portrait of a young, confident woman in a misogynistic time in a democracy where the police was undemocratic methods critic madhouse block.
Angelina Jolie is so good that they do not necessarily recognize. Oscar-nomination is not excluded. A tough, realistic film that protects the uschauer not that has no happy ending, but what is all Eastwood films of the past ten years far better than average, with the millions of people in this country and elsewhere to kill time. Interesting.
PS: Changeling changeling means that I had to look up first. In mythology, the child of a troll that has been exchanged for a human child.
