Million Dollar Baby

[willie]

Excellent acting, directing, realistic locations and very well done overall. The ending was a supreme downer to me but to others, it wasn't. I prefer happy movies.

Definitely worth the rent and perhaps even a buy. I loved the hardened Eastwood character best.

I saw it last week, I thought it was great! I had heard people say it was not about boxing but instead euthanasia, I saw a flick about boxing... And given Maggies quality of life, I would have done the same thing...

Haven't watched it yet but I've got a free rental (it was out of stock) from blockbuster.

They have tons of copies now. I thought it was out of stock the last few times I went there but apparently they changed the look of their casings.

I was on an overnight flight from South America last weekend and this movie was on the program. It never ran! Bummer.

I LOVED Million Dollar Baby. It was a great movie.. very sad though!!

Great flick!

Clint Eastwood put that together, describable only by a wow!

Morgan Freeman's last round in the ring had me off the couch cheering for him! That's some acting! :smiling:

And tough girl, Hillary Swank, really had me mesmerized with her skills... I cannot even begin to express the appreciation I have for her in the way she gets inside of her character and the physical training she went through for the film.

I found the story to be about life - gifts, amends, guilt, innocence, overcoming what's been set in front of you and setting your own course, doing the right thing and letting go.

I loved it.

I hate movies that make me cry. However, this was an excellent movie.

Great flick! Worth the $$ to buy and watch a few times.

I just finished watching this for the first time. Great flick but damn the ending was a downer.

If you think the movie was good read the book it came from!

Jerry Boyd under the pen name F.X. Toole wrote "Rope burns" a collection of short stories inspired by his boxing and training career. Some are uplifting some incredibly sad. But ALL of them are good.
