The Changeling - Lee Sin Ying

Hello, everybody. Today I want to introduce a very interesting movie—The Changeling. This movie is about a single parent – Christine Collins whose son, Walter is missing from her home. She called the police to initiate a search. Five months later, a boy is found but he is an impostor. When Collins continued to complain, she finds herself arrested and confined to the mental ward. In the end of the movie, her son cannot be found but Collins has learned what hope is.
This movie is touched my heart. Every time Collins cried and said “he’s not my son.” I am very sad; she must be very disappointed because she never accompanied her son.
Psychology is my major. I can find a phenomenon in the mental ward. Collins’ friends said, “The more you try to act sane, the crazier you start to look, if you smile too much, you’re delusional or you’re stifling hysteria, and if you don’t smile, you’re depressed. If you remain neutral, you’re emotionally withdrawn, potentially catatonic.” Actually, this is a kind of stereotyping. Stereotyping must be changed in this century.
In conclusion, I like this movie so much. I wish all of my friends can watch this movie.
