Changeling

Changeling is based on a true story from 1928. It is about a working mother (Christine Collins) whose child, Walter Collins is kidnapped. After some time, the Los Angeles Police Department said to have found her son, but during their reunion, she realizes that they have found the wrong child. The police department, not wanting to be embarrassed by the public and media basically force her to keep the orphan child who claims to be her son. She faces the corrupt police, and fights to get answers to where her son might be. She also fights for all women who at this time period were considered to be inferior and women were not to challenge the police and if they did, they wouldn't live to tell their story. She finds help from a reverend, who understands what the corrupt police do and is willing to stand out against their actions.

This movie strives for truth, justice, and peace. These words intertwine with some topics that the Bible talks about. God is all those three words; truth, justice, and peace. There are some examples in this movie and storyline where their are types of evil, and the corruption of the police. There is also a scene where the movie mentions a man who has killed many kids off the street. They are about to hang him and before he gets hanged he asks for someone to pray for him and also states that God has forgiven him for what he has done and gives himself hope that he won't be going to hell. He repents to God and asks him for forgiveness. This was very interesting and made me think. Can God allow someone that has committed alot of murders to go to heaven? Life and death in this movie is put on the line because there were so many risks that Christine Collins took and could have been killed for, but she still did it because she strived for three words that we as humans try to live by; truth, justice, and peace.
