We have watched the film Changeling produced by Clint Eastwood. It is a tragic true story. It happened in Los Angeles, 1928 . Christine Collins returns from work to find her young son Walter missing from home.She calls the police to initiate a search for the boy but they don´t seem very concerned about the case and fail to find him. Then five months later, a boy is found who fits Walter´s description and says he is her son. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) arrange a public reunion of mother and son, and invite all the press in the hope of getting some positive publicity, but she insists he is not her son, causing the police a great embarrasment. They start a campaign against her..........
What exactly is a "Changeling"?
It is defined as "a baby who is used to take the place of another baby (in stories).In the film we know that it is a story that really happened .
It is a classy thriller, a story of anguish. We also see the desperation of a mother to get her son back, as well as a fierce criticism of the intransigence of authority.

Look inside the cloud , revise the vocabulary , choose one of the characters you most liked in the film and start writing.
A great movie that your pupils ought to watch. In fact, they'd love every Clint Eastwood movie, not only the westerns or the thrillers, but also some different movies like "Space cowboys" or the romantic drama "The bridges of Madison County", a very good movie co-starred with the always wonderful Meryl Streep.
ResponderEliminarI also think that "Gran Torino" will capture the interest of the studentes. It's as if Eastwood had made a portrait of a retired Dirty Harry Callaham...
