Changeling by the DVD Man

Changeling is very scary because it's a true story and it was only 1928, when a 9 year old kid goes missing and my Dad was 9 years old in 1928. It's hard to believe that the LAPD had that much unlimited power over regular people, but it's true.

It is an excellent drama and Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich and Jeffrey Donovan do a great job inhabiting their characters. Jolie was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar and Clint Eastwood was the director.

It tells the story from Christine Collins' (Jolie) point of view and her struggle to find her son after the LAPD give her a fake son as a replacement. The police send her to the nut house when she keeps causing problems for them. The actual case changed California law. Lucky for all of us, the police can no longer commit someone to a mental institute without a warrant.

Their is a chicken ranch and although they are mostly in pens, there is one flying chicken! Best line in the script: "I'll meet you at Musso & Frank.", which is billed as the oldest restaurant in Hollywood. It's a movie Frank.
