This movie is movie art par excellence

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2005)

Well, thinking about Eastwoods career: Tarzan, series cowboy, not too good Dirty Harry sequels and adventures with the monkey, his last 15 years has been absolutely triumphant. And now A million dollar baby. Last night I walked away from theater, weeping with joy. They still do movies with heart, they still do movies without digital workout, they still do movies where actor and actresses do really act IE. perform the art. The brilliance of the three was extraordinary. Just watch Freeman and Eastwood picking on each other, like old couple. And just watch Swanks reaction when she finds out she is going to fight for the belt. Or watch her waisted talent lying in the bed. I don't know many who can make a tear. She can. Here in Finland many say, tear is the ultimate work of acting art. This definitely is the best boxing movie since The Harder they fall... where Bogart made his last role.
