Definitely Should Be A Contender For An Award

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2005)

Although I am a fan of Clint Eastwood, as well as his son, Kyle, who I saw in one of Clint's movies back when he was a kid and who wrote some of the music for this movie, I was hesitant about seeing this movie because I have never been a fan of boxing.
But, I decided to go see the movie, anyway, mostly for the story revolving around the boxing, instead, and was glad I did.
The interaction of the characters was deep as they learned many of life's lessons from each other as well as "about" each other.
I was also glad to see Clint Eastwood's granddaughter have a cameo in the movie (she's the little girl holding the dog at the gas station when Hillary Swank smiles and waves at her and she smiles and waves back).
They also touched base on euthanasia, which I have had dealings with in the past and have supported for many years.
All in all, I think Clint Eastwood has made another jewel that is highly deserving of whatever awards it can win.
