Clint Eastwood's Changeling is a capsule that perfectly keeps its period intact, keeping its audience drawn into its emotionally charged mystery. The real mystery isn't so much where Christine Collins' son is, but rather what happened to him. We know that he went missing- we don't know if he ran away or was removed by force. What we do know is that the child the police brought back to her is in fact not her son. He's too short, he doesn't remember things that he should, and the physical features don't add up. The police, of course, vehemently deny this fact and eventually have Ms. Collins taken to a psychiatric hospital, all the while she is still going mad with worry about her son's well-being.
