my heart go’s out to christine who died never knowing the fate of her son and to all the other victims and there parents also too sanford who was forced to carry out these sick tasks by a deranged family

what a tragic

I cannot believe they left Northcott’s mother out of the movie! She was as horrible as her son in my opinion!
Also that first picture of Gordon Northcott really creeps me out.. he looks evil!

This is a message to all those who have lost there child to the hands of another human being
I cant say I know what your feeling that would be incredibly selfish of me but I do know that to the grousome way children are taken let this be a warning to those who take it upon them selves to hear there last breath on the day of your judgment when you are standing before god your maker and the question is where do you belong heaven or hell god will not allow such evilness into his kingdome so to the arms of the devil you will be incorserated for things you have done that no man need do.
For the tears of mudered victims family’s my heart goes out to all of you and I pray that god take away your pain god bless

Reese… Eastwood’s directing style is pretty hands off… he lets his actors ‘act’… so Jolie’s performance is pretty much her own ‘take’ on the character.
I haven’t read the blog, just looked for pix of that sick Northcott mother… after 80 years nobody knows how any of those people acted, felt, thought, etc. The movie is drama, not reality. Hollywood can’t make a documentary anymore… it’s all just ‘inspired by’ events.
Even Clint took liberties with the facts… like leaving out the Northcott mother… and still started his movie with the notation ‘a true story’… not a literal story… but there is also a notation at the end of the movie about having some composite characters and fictionalized events.

Wow…..I can’t stand people that would do that. The police is what really got to me though. That, and how that Northcott dude can do that to all those kids…..

I absolutely agree with you Cera! And everything that you mentioned is right and we all as human beings know it to be so. Even though we can all sit here and think that we know how christine acted or should have acted in life (or as angelina jolie) acted in the movie, we all absolutely have no idea what that woman went through. But we do know human emotion and what losing one so dear to you can put you through, and i don’t think any MOTHER would stand there throughout this whole ordeal and present herself as calm and collective and neutral the whole time (just so as some say, that she can look quote, unquote strong). Just because one cries and/or shows a hint of emotion does not demote that person to being a weak individual. I’m sure as Cera said above that Christine did have her moments of breakdown, i’m sure any Mother who loves and cares for her children would (and obviously she did otherwise she would not have fought as hard as she did nor been as persisent).

Lastly, in light of Jolie’s performance in the movie and with the character, i think it needs to be realized that yes the actors do play the characters and portray them, but it is the directors at the end of the day who direct those actors and tell them how they should act. So lets not start to bash Jolie because of her performance, she was directed people. That’s why there’s a director on every movie. And anyway i think Clint Eastwood directed wonderfully with Christine’s character because of course a mother as i stated earlier WOULD react in the ways he had Jolie act in the film. She loved her son for christ sake and wanted him back. He made very strong directorial choices.

As for the rest of the people within this tragedy go (Northcott’s) i have no sympathy for any of them except the nephew, thank god he came forward for if he never did who knows if this would have ever come to light. But i strongly feel grief for those families and for the ones involved especially the children slain, and passed on now, even though this was long ago i still feel that they should always be remembered. And may God always continue to bless the families of those victims. Also, my condolescences strongly go out to the continued generations who live among us now, who are related to those victims from the past. I can’t imagine the kind of legacy you have to remember through your names because of this tragedy. But may God bless you all, and my heart goes out to you!!
