My son was lost, and the police shoehorned me a home son: "Changing Sons and Doubts".
The boy faked his identity, and under police interrogation, he finally told the truth. The boy is from Illinois and actually came to Los Angeles to meet his favorite Hollywood star. Canadian police captured Gordon at his sister's house and returned him to the United States. The farm murder was laid to light, and the killer, Gordon, would be hanged two years later.
The political darkness and police corruption in Los Angeles were completely exposed, the mayor could no longer run for office, and the police commissioner was removed from court. Sheriff Jones, who was the culprit, was permanently suspended. Things turned out as expected, but Gordon's reaction surprised Collins, who did not justify his crime, but did not admit to killing Walter. I didn't kill your child, Ms. Collins. Judge: Lawyer, that's enough! I won't hurt Walter. Lawyer, be optimistic about your client, otherwise I will tie him up and gag him.
Gordon's words made Collins extremely stunned, and she seemed to see a glimmer of hope in despair. For the next two years, Collins continued to find Water. However, a month before his execution, Collins' lawyer received a telegram from Gordon, who said he had lied in court and offered to tell Collins the truth in person. She came to the prison to meet Gordon with great conflict. However, surprisingly, Gordon suddenly repented and resolutely refused to tell the truth. He said he didn't want to lie before his execution because he didn't have time to ask God for forgiveness. After that, no matter whether Collins patiently persuaded or scolded Gordon, he refused to let go. Until Gordon was hanged the next day, he still did not tell the truth about whether Walt was dead.
Five years later, Collins has not fully come out of the shadows, but has begun to try to accept a new life. However, a sudden call from the mother of another victimized boy made her life waver again. Collins hurried to the police station to meet the mother. One of the murdered boys in the farm murder was miraculously discovered, and he told Agent Leicester about his escape. That night, he and two other boys found a breach in the barbed wire, so they tore open a small hole and drilled it out. In the process, his foot gets stuck in barbed wire, but fortunately a boy named Walt turns back to help him get out of trouble, but it also makes a movement that attracts Gordon's attention.
Faced with the pursuit, they decided to run away separately, and eventually the boy managed to escape. But it is not known whether the other two are still alive. The boy was afraid to return home out of fear and had to wander around. It was only now that I had the courage to return to Los Angeles. Looking at the touching scene of the family reunion in front of him, Collins' heart was mixed.
After walking out of the police station, she had figured out that since a boy had managed to escape, it was possible that her Walt would still be alive. Perhaps he is also afraid to go home because he is still hiding in a corner of this world. But anyway, what's new for me after tonight? Collins regained hope and never gave up on finding his son Walt throughout his life. That's the end of the movie.
This "Changing Sons" is adapted from the infamous "Winewell Chicken Coop Murder" in American history, the storyline is highly restored, but the reality is more cruel than the movie. Captain Jones was awarded $10,080 to Collins, but he never paid it, and although he was suspended, he left in the name of retirement to receive all benefits. And he also lived to be 102 years old. Perhaps this is called "good people do not live long, and disasters are left behind for thousands of years".
The unfortunate Collins spent his entire life searching for his son, but to no avail. And there is still controversy about her death. Collins' name last appeared in newspapers in 1941. Her identification information and phone records have since disappeared from California. That is, Collins probably died that year, so the information was written off. As for the specific death record, it is currently not available. Although this "Changing Sons and Doubts" is adapted from a real case, its ideological core is not limited to exposing history and praising maternal love. This is a typical multi-theme movie. Director "Clint Eastwood", the ambition in the communication of ideas is obvious. The first is the feminist overtones of the film, where Sheriff Jones casually teases women in the scene where he meets fake Water.
