Astonishing

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2005)

This movie is amazing. It was 10 times better then it's 4 other Oscar contenders, and it's a great story.
Basically, a woman named Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) wants to box and she wants to be trained by the best of the best, Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood). Dunn immediately turns her down, claiming he won't train females, however she doesn't give up. With a little help from Eddie Dupris (Morgan Freeman), she learns the basics and finally convinces Dunn to "help her out", but not train her.
The movie has incredible acting, and the ending is very beautiful, and at the same time devastating and tragic. I don't normally cry during movies, but MDB is a big exception. My fiancé even cried.
10/10.
