setting : 1920'sthe story was also about a mother's struggle and quest to find her beloved son (with the help of a minister and people picketing against the LA police) and battle against unscrupulous L.A police force. i liked the movie simply because it was straightforward and nicely executed. i was enraged how human rights violation was at it's worst during that time. how, a frail woman of middle class was badly treated just to close a case which was never resolved in the first place. christine collins was forced to accept that her long lost son was found and that she was 'dillusional' for not recognizing her own child. the poor woman was sent to a mental asylum under code 12 (women with cases against the L.A police force are thrown to the facility to keep their mouths shut) when she turned to the media and raised her issue it eventually caused scandal among the L.A police force and completely ravaged their credibility as law enforcers. her fight against the police force was painstakingly long and almost endless as it went on for almost a decade hadn't for the support of the church and those people who cared about her. the police tried to ruin her credibility as a mother by simply making her appear mentally ill publicly. what can a single mother do against the government who won't even issue a warrant and just sends an individual to a mental asylum to cover up lies they themselves threaded? the negligence on the police force's end eventually resulted to the death of the 'real' walter collins under the hands of a mentally deranged killer. overall, justice was served--the murderer was executed and the chief of police alongside with the ruthless police inspector were fired for the crime they both tried to conceal. this story isn't new. this movie is really worth watching.
