Changeling Blu-ray
Universal Studios | 2008 | 142 mins | Rated R | Feb 17, 2009
Changeling(2008)Crime | Drama | Mystery     A mother prays for the return of her kidnapped son. When her prayers are answered, however, she begins to suspect the boy who comes back is not her child. Inspired by true events that took place in Los Angeles in the 1920s. For more details about Changeling on Blu-ray, see the Changeling Blu-ray Review Changeling Blu-ray, Video Quality  Possessing a highly stylized look intended to harken back to faded photos and older films, Changeling arrives on Blu-ray with its intended look perfectly intact. Cinematographer Tom Stern, a longtime Eastwood collaborator, has bathed the film in sepia-toned hues that give the impression of hand tinted photographs. It's a unique look that manages to reference the past while serving as a fine example of modern cinematographic technique. Universal's exceptional Blu-ray edition of Changeling arrives with a full 1080p transfer using the VC-1 compression codec. As one would hope to be the case, the film's original 2.40:1 theatrical aspect ratio has been preserved. Black levels and contrast are handled exceptionally well, though many viewers will notice instances of black crush creeping into the image. This appears to be entirely consistent with the faded and color- drained look of the film. The image maintains a moderate level of detail; yet another area in which this transfer is remarkably true to the source material. Compression artifacts, noise, edge enhancement and other signs of compromised encoding are noticeably absent as well. While Changeling isn't going to pop off the screen with vibrant colors, it is a fine transfer of a heavily stylized film. Highly recommended! Changeling Blu-ray, Audio Quality I was a little surprised at just how effective the 5.1 DTS HD-Master Audio track turned out for Changeling. I was expecting more of a dialogue-based presentation that lacked any kind of serious surround activity; Boy, was I wrong. The sound designers who worked on Changeling clearly had a lot of fun in playing with spacial effects and heightened atmospheres, as the film's soundtrack does a ridiculously good job of creating realistic and never gimmicky ambiance. Naturally, dialogue is expertly rendered and never drifts into unintelligible territory. Bass is also quite heavy at times while never seeming excessive. Surround activity is situational in use; most indoor scenes, especially those in the mental institution, reverberate with a convincing aura of isolation and fear. Changeling features an unexpectedly remarkable lossless soundtrack that is consistent and eerily realistic. Highly recommended!
