Nothing new and original in this movie, it' s all seen before..

Rating: 2/10 (14 October 2007)

One million dollar baby.. A movie I'll never understand, or better to say, I'll never understand why is it so good. In my opinion, it is an average Hollywood movie, from the first moment you can totally predict what's going to happen. Eastwood is,of course,old-school couch, rough and narrow minded. Freeman, of course, the story teller with so many important advices, like always. Swank.. Fighter, doesn't want to be treated like a girl, she has to help her family, she wants to show her couch that she can make it...The words that describe this movie the best -it' s all seen before, so I'll have to agree with this few other people who said the same. And it wasn't easy to find someone with that opinion, I have been fighting with my best friend and boyfriend for the past 2 years because they, like everyone else claim that this is some kind of master-piece. The director maybe did a good job, but the screenplay is awful. Oscar for the movie of the year? Oscar for the best actress? Speaking of Hilary Swank, compare this role with the one in 'Boys don't cry'.. So Oscar for this? Absolutely not.
