Gone Babe Gone Review. Genre: Crime thriller Plot: Two private investigators decide to investigate the disappearance of a young girl Amanda in the gritty neighborhoods of Boston. Rating: 7.6/10, nominated for 1 Oscar. Starring: Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris, Casey Affleck Director: Ben Affleck The review: The kidnapping of four-year-old Amanda in Dorchester, Boston, has everyone in the neighborhood concerned. Even though they specialize in finding deadbeats, Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro, a couple of private investigators, decide to take on the case after being approached by the girl's distraught aunt and her husband. Throughout the movie, a realistic and raw portrayal of the settings and the characters stands out. From the worn-down houses to the thick Boston accents, the film expertly captures the atmosphere of the working-class neighborhoods of Boston in the early 20s. The characters are equally well-developed and complex, with each one possessing their own motivations and flaws. The film also touches on important social issues, such as child abuse and neglect, and explores the various ways in which these issues impact different communities. Specifically, Helene, the mother of Amanda, is so damaged by drugs and drink that she's barely quite sure if a conversation is taking place. The film does not shy away from the harsh realities of the situation, and the audience is forced to confront the uncomfortable truth that sometimes there are no easy answers. Another aspect that makes Gone Baby Gone such a compelling watch is the complex and layered plot. The story unfolds slowly, with each new piece of information adding another layer of complexity to the case. The twists and turns are greatly unexpected, and the film keeps the audience guessing until the very end. The movie's “charm” lies in the fact that it remains in one's thoughts long after it has ended. The audience is forced to confront difficult ethical dilemmas and question their own beliefs about right and wrong. There are said to be some secrets behind the story of the movie as well. Specifically, even though the plot is not based on a true story, rather than the 1998 novel of Dennis Lehane, some say it shares similarities with the McCann case. It should also be noted that the movie’s release was pushed from Dec. 2007 to June 2008.24 Jul 2012 out of sensitivity to the case. The Verdict Gone Baby Gone is a thought-provoking film that explores complex moral dilemmas, addresses global social challenges, and delivers a powerful message for the consequences of our actions. I would strongly recommend it to every fan of the crime-drama genre. Download 12.78 Kb. Share with your friends:
