The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, adapted from a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Stars Brad Pitt.
Changeling, a film based on true events of the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders. Stars Angelina Jolie.
According to dictionary.com, changeling means:
1. a child surreptitiously or unintentionally substituted for another
2. (in folklore) an ugly, stupid, or strange child left by fairies in place of a pretty, charming child
Actually I thought the film would involve supernatural elements but as it turns out, it actually is about corruption, overcoming adversity and other wholesome themes. That changes things a little, since my fascination is with changeling stories of the scary fairies variety.
Nonetheless, this is still a fascinating tale, summed up here. Makes me think of Frédéric Bourdin, the serial impostor I blogged about before.
(Incidentally, The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue is a really good changeling story. It's not scary and all fairy tale. But it is creepy and pretty sad.)
