Million Dollar Baby (2004)

This had alot scene to shocking me , And it's got ver very true and sad story i love this move

Hilary Swank didn't annoy me as much as she usually does, so Million Dollar Baby must have been a good movie. However, it didn't emotionally engage me as much as I thought it would and I kept looking at the clock - which is never a good sign. Great performances all around, but I think there were a couple other films in 2004 that were more deserving of the Academy Award for Best Picture.

I've rewatched Million Dollar Baby almost every year since it's release (about 10 times). I won't know why, but i just keep coming back. This movie sends out a big message to me which is 'pursue what you love in life to the best you can'. The movie makes my cry from the sheer power in Maggie's character. Sure she's strong physically, but her willpower and passion is where she is a knockout. Hillary Swank outshines any performance i've ever seen in acting in this movie and every scene involving her is powerful. I remember (after seeing this movie) watching most movies she's acted in and seeing her supreme acting skills shine through in all roles. Clint Eastwood is also top notch as Frankie, and the bond that develops between fighter and trainer is so well done and tasteful. Sure there are some extreme moments a little overdone at times like the absurd sheer ignorance of her family or the rediculous fighter she ends up competing with for the title. However, these extreme moments only make it more emotional and make you feel more strongly with the two main characters who are just trying to do a little good in the world.I come out of the movie with Maggie and Frankie feeling as role models and people to look up to in rough times. Make the most of your life whilst you have it. Prove to yourself you've got what it takes in whatever you do! This movie is almost in my heart as a true great!

I can't say that I loved the movie, but I liked it. Throughout the movie I felt like the girl was a bit to forced with the acting, it didn't seem natural to me, somehow I couldn't feel with her. But as the movie went on, you slowly grow with the character, all the way until the end where the story comes to a heartbraking finish and leaves you in tears. Clint and Morgan were top class, as always, one of the best roles they played and one of the best movies Clint Eastwood made.
