When someone t;ells you what is happening in the movie, why bother gong to it.  

I always thought it was funny when I saw those old Tv shows when the guy in front was talking about what was going to happen and you saw the hero and his girl squirm. But when it happens to you, it is very annoying.

Oh I hate that to, do not how anyone can put their toes up because there is not much room and they cannot even get their feet up. But what I really hate besides the interruptions is those tall people who sit in front of you, and you have to move your head side to side to see the show and then they always come in late when the good part is showing.
Yes, we rented the dvd and saw it at home again, but it is not the same thing.

Why spoil it for anyone else. I did see the movie, we rented it and we loved it, but it really hurt that this lady told what was going to happen and the outcome, so even though it was a true story,it happened decades before my time, and it was a local story so that unless you lived there, you would not have heard of it.

Well it was someone here in myLot who gave out the whole scene, told all her friends who read it what the movie was about, who died, who might be dead, whether the lady found her son, whether she still hoped that he was alive, etc. So in essence, even though we did see the movie on dvd, it was a let down that we knew what was going to happen so I could not get as emotional or have that "what is going to happen next?" feeling that is what a watching a movie is all about.
But the movie was so wonderful, I think maybe if I get enough money I will buy it or hope someone gives it to us for a Christmas or birthday present.

What bugged me was that someone here on myLot told how she enjoyed seeing The
Changling, and instead of saying it was based on a true story, that it was about a woman who got the wrong boy back, went and said who was the woman, who had taken the boy, what type of person he was, etc. what happened to her, etc. without leaving us to think that maybe Frank Nitti had found the boy and he was now a member of the mob, whether he was dead, whether he had been found by a farming couple and was on his way to California, whether the police would find the boy at the end, whether years later, he would knock on her door and say, "mother!" etc.
Instead she practically gave away the whole plot.

I do not like it one bit. I do not mind when they give the general plot like what they give in the previes, but when they tell what happens at the end, and the conclusion, other then it is very sad, or very happy (cause I would have assumed that the lady looking for her son died before he could see her, or very happy that they were united.) but this member gave the whole plot away from the beginning to the end and the one I wanted to know about (the attempted escapes) she was silent about.

If she had said "Spoiler!" if you do not want to know about the ending, do not read this discussion," but she did not. I think you are giving her excuses as if she did not realize what she was doing. I do not mind getting a general plot that she searched for her son, was tricked, and he may be alive but she does not know and I would have assumed that this was about partly through the movie. And she put it in such a way that the ending was obvious. She could have left out the part after the boys tried to escape the psycho killer and let us guess, but she did not. I mean I have seen the previews and previews are supposed to make you guess wrong. When I saw the Dvd, the ending was exactly what she said. YOu are supposed to keep some parts secret, and she did not. The trouble is that all I wanted to know, was it going to be a sad or a happy ending or draw your own conclusions.

It was a good movie. We rented it on DVd and loved it, but we knew what would happen next and it toned down the suspense. I sort of love the suspense.

That would be a good idea. She did not even give a warning.
She just rambled on how much she enjoyed this movie Changling by Angela Jolie and since she loved the actress so much, just rambled. I could have done the same thing about a movie years ago by Gregory Peck , but i would not do that as he was one of my favorite actors. The trouble is if you like a certain actor, you forget and start giving away plots, etc.

It was a good movie, but one thing I love about a movie is the suspense and what is going to happen. I want to be able to cry and then when I find that the hero did not die, smile with relief. I have been to movies where I thought the child had died or had been killed, and then later on, was so happy that the child was alive.
