Dreams, Hopes and Loss, Million Dollar Baby is a sure winner

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2008)

Million Dollar Baby was watched by myself and my mum just last night. Between us we knew nothing of boxing or the world that lived within its grasp, so we were anxious of the outcome of a boxing movie that had fantastic reviews. But Clint Eastwood didn't let us down. Million Dollar proved an insightful, honest and beautifully captured picture. With top-notch performances all round especially from Hillary Swank getting Best Lead Female Role in a film at the Oscars and Best Supporting Male Actor from Morgan Freeman also at the Oscars. The point is don't be discouraged from watching this film from your lack of boxing knowledge, this film perhaps from a point of view like myself is critical of the sport saying how barbaric and inhuman hitting each other is. Million Dollar Baby is a sure winner for all.
