Movie of the Week...Changeling

True Story + period piece + Clint Eastwood = what's not to love. Well, the moral content of this film is very disturbing. It's about the Wineville chicken coup murders back in 1928-29, and supposedly J. Michael Strazinski (the screenwriter) can provide citations for 95% of the script. It's beautifully shot, amazingly acted, and one of the more disturbing films I've ever seen. There is a scene where you see a silhouette of a man brutally murdering a child; this was too much for me probably because I'm a parent and have grown extremely sensitive. Overall 4/5 stars.
