movie "CHANGELING"

I went to watch the movie "CHANGELING" directed by Clint Eastwood and acted mainly by Angelina Jolie.

It was a very interesting human drama but very long (over 140 minutes) and a little too serious, so I was very tired.

At first, I understood the movie's title was "CHANGE RING". Today I've got to know the word "changeling" by seeing this drama.

"changeling" means "a child secretly exchanged for another in infancy" (Webster online) and it must be based on Western European folklore and folk religion.

This is Hiroko Mori's Official Blog. Ms. Mori wrote her impressions by English for practicing English.

She said, "My son is my life", as she cried when her son disappeared.

This statement is very impressive for me too.

If you saw the movie, you could find the other side of her.

I did.
