Picture of the Month (November): Gone Baby Gone

I was swept away by Gone Baby Gone. Not only was the acting phenomenal but the humanizing of the characters was so well done that you (the watcher) feel that you are part of the story. As much as I dislike Ben Affleck and think that he is a mediocre actor, I believe that Casey Affleck (Ben's younger brother) is a true rising star. Gone Baby Gone takes place in Boston and the story line follows a child abduction taken place in a low-income neighborhood. The film potrays what we see on the news almost on a daily basis involving child abductions. There are a number of twists and turns throughout the film and in the end, makes you think long and hard about a moral issue that you never expected anyone to face.
