Thread: Has anyone seen The Changling?

I've just come back from seeing The Changling, starring Angelina Jolie. I thought it was really well done, Angelina did a sterling job, but oh my god, my mind is racing now and I've come back to an empty house. I hate being on my own after films that really wrench. I won't say any more as I don't want to ruin it for those that want to see it, but haven't. I didn't read up much about it, just seen Angelina crying out "I want my son back" in the trailer clip on telly. Oh my god, the last film I saw had me with tears rolling down my cheeks (erm no it didn't actually because it was the Bond movie, but the one before that did) - The Duchess (not normally a fan of films that Keira Knightly stars in - sometimes she is matched well to the part, other times I think hmmmm, not sure!) - but that film really moved me...:cry:

I really want to see it! I think I'm going to go look up film times for this weekend...

I loved it! Although Mr C and I noticed a pretty big hole in the plot, unless there was a bit we missed.

Hmmm, the hole - PM me and explain...I'm guessing what it could be...need to know!!!!
Were your legs trembling as you came out the film - mine were...

PM sent. I did the sneaky thing and downloaded it so no leg trembling but it did make me cry

oh me too!!! but oddly it was in the bit where her 'friend' went into room 12 and then we found out a bit about her history that made me fill up!

Aaw really? Mine was the bit at the end with...David? Daniel? That made me cry! :cry:

I really want to see it, but not sure that my friends are that into it... I hate going to the cinema alone x

I've been to the movies on my own once before to see a film I really, really wanted to see - I don't see a problem with it, to be honest. But then I've travelled round Europe before on my own, except, I ended up never being on my own as I met a couple of people as soon as I got to the train station in London - travelled half-way down France with them, before going my own way, meeting up with random other people - I was never on my own. Plus when I was in Thailand with a couple of friends, I decided to leave them on Kho Pi Pi island for a few days while I went to explore mainland Thailand. I'm very much my own person and tend to follow my own path. I think it's because I spent my childhood moving schools more than 10 times, moving towns and countries.

I'm not sure I'd want to see The Changling on my own - I didn't want to walk to my car on my own last night, and persuaded my friend to come with me and for me to drive her to her car (so, a total softie at times too!!!!)

But it is an excellent movie!!!!

I go to the cinema by myself quite a bit, as I'm very into films and most of my friends at Uni (where I spend most of my time) aren't. I don't mind going to smaller cinemas and arty cinemas by myself but I'm a bit worried about going to an Odeon or Cineworld on my own. And The Changeling does not sound like it's a film you should necessarily watch alone.
