Changeling



HD Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmhzFHr_ZPk

Over the summer I had hours and hours of free time to myself and discovered an amazing website that enabled me to watch movies for free. (In good quality I might add.) So, I did what any true movie-goer would do. I googled the Academy Award nominated films for the past five years and went on a rampage. One movie particularly stood out to me. Angelina Jolie was never what I considered an actress of "quality". Her roles seemed to play into the desires of a highly sexualized industry, so I disregarded her as another Megan Fox or Demi Moore. This film, however, gave her an opportunity to play a character that really existed (which I feel is one of the most difficult tasks for an actor/actress). Jolie nailed it. The cinematography was far from your average "back in time" flick; it was a journey into the real issues of one of our country's most conflicted time periods. The raw, unparalleled authenticity of each character in the movie kept me at attention the entire time. Check it out.

  1. The way you write is fantastic; it's so descriptive and well organized! But yes, I'm going to have to watch The Changeling, because too many people have expressed how good it was. The Orphan is also definitely worth watching.
