A great movie recommendation

17 years ago

I watched it twice today...once early this morning before the kids got here and then again when DH got home....I told him he has to see it! He loved it too..it's "Changeling" with Angolina Jolee. It was so good! I didn't know it was a true story until the end. I felt so bad for her, so frustating what she went through to convince him it wasn't her son...here's a link to the story. I highly recommed this movie!

I don't know if I want to see it because I don't like movies that upset me. Give me a good real life murder mystery, and I'm right there! LOL

Anyway, I was reading your link and it says that "Although Collins died in 1935 not knowing what happened to her son,".

Being curious, I googled Gordon Northcott, who was mentioned in the article and found another story that say's he and his mother admitted to killing Walter and several other boys. Northcott was executed in 1930, 5 years before Cristina died.

I don't know why I am telling you this except that it is an interesting piece of the story.

She obviously had to know before her death what happened to her son. I am curious what they say about that in the movie. Do they explain what happened to him?

Thanks earthly! We have a giant flea market nearby that always has huge selections of used DVD's and VHS movies and whenever I get there I stand there looking and thinking..."Now what was the name of that movie someone recommended?" I am going to start keeping a list in my purse and will add your two to it...they sound good! thanks...

If you have Amazon Prime, don't miss Sneaky Pete. It's 10 episodes and will definitely have another season. Brian Cranston is a producer and is one of the stars along with Giovanni Ribsi. We watched Whiplash last night. I thought it was a slow start and intense, but incredibly well done. Lion was fabulous! Passengers is really good too. I'm not a fan of Sci-Fi, but DH saw it on a flight and ordered it from Netflix so that I could see it. If you haven't seen the Crown or FEUD, they're good too!

The Kominsky Method, Netflix, Funny!! Older, but well written page turners: The Winds of War and sequel, War and Remembrance, Evelyn Waugh. Will often keep you on edge of your seat. Long but , never boring. How about 900 pages of “and the Women of the Club”. Historical fiction on life of women , members of a long lasting book club, beginning at Civil War . Author was 90 years old! For complex, The Name of the Rose.

No...at the end of the movie it said that she continues to look for her son.....I looked it up online too after I watched the movie because this left me wondering if he was ever found..dead or alive. I read that he was never found. It was such a good movie it left me wanting to know more...in the movie they didn't mention the Gordon's mother helped kill these boys....that was something I found onoine too. Really a good movie, very intense, you can just feel her frustration.

I really liked it, but I know DH would hate it, it's too depressing. I looked it up before I went, so I knew what to expect.

My grandparents and their extended family lived in nearby Riverside at the time this took place. The murders became so infamous across the country that the town of Wineville changed its name to Mira Loma.

I am very interested in seeing this film -- thanks for the review!

I have sisters and a brother out that way now....they never heard of it until the movie came out. Kind of creepy to think about! My DH loved it also....he's a softy!

It seems like they ( the Northcotts) told so many lies who knows what really happened.

That is one screwed up family.

I do believe that based on all I've read today that Walter was probably killed by them.

If his little body was never found, I can also understand her hope that he was still alive. Probably not likely though.

I read too that Northcott's mother confessed to killing him..so who knows. They were one whacked out family! Makes you wonder how many of these kinds of families exsist in our ndighborhoods today!
