she was smiling b/c she knew that her son did something good by helping the other boy escape.

I think the guy is being a realist, whereas the woman is deliberately trying to bag out a movie that is frankly brilliant.

Excellent point about the serial killer's mother being an excellent potential parallel. I would love for those guys to proofread my stuff or all Hollywood scripts. I can't wait to see what they think of Clash of the Titans.

yeah, this movie was very sad coming from a mom's perspective. big time downer.

I thought Angelina was rising above a thin set, direction, screenwriting, and acting, and think the Director butchered what could have been a stellar movie. The Police Captain acting is WAY over the top, the characters wear coats, then leave screen doors open in summer months, all the cars are freshly painted, the filtering to make it seem brown, even in the summer, is heavy-handed, and who wears the same hat for five years, season in and out. Marcia is dead -on, Eastwood is an overrated hack.

this is the best movie i have EVER seen!!!

I thought it was a brilliant film. The one thing that rang wrong for me was that they used the phrase 'serial killer', which was coined in the seventies.

The phrase used in stories of the time was, I believe, 'mass murderer'.

It's a tiny thing, really. But it broke the mood.

She was thin because her mother just died. Give the woman a break.

Plus, the real Christine Collins lost a lot of weight during the time she was looking for her son - check out the newspaper pictures from the time.

If an actor messes with his weight for a movie, it's heroic.

If a woman does it, it's anorexic.

Get over the double standard.

Ask 100 people who saw the movie if she manifested passion - she just managed to do it in an understated, period appropriate way.

Just like Clint.

Marcia is brilliant here. The two contrasting mother/son relationship would have turned this into a fantastic film. Also, I have to say that t Angelina Jollie was just too thin. Somebody give that woman a cheeseburger! I couldn't get passed her fragile looks and she couldn't get the passion to manifest because of her weakened physical condition. Anorexia is not strong, not pretty and not the basis for a great performance.
