Million Dollar Baby

Rating: Null/10 (20 February 2005)

A Goddess on the screen, Hilary Swank, proves to me that this is an actress that can do whatever she wants. She goes from one height, Boy's Don't Cry, to doing loads of low-end action movies, back to the shining star she truly is in "Million Dollar Baby"...
Clint Eastwoods Oscar Nominated (currently one month still to the Academy Awards) portrays a picture so dark, and still so incredible white. "Million Dollar Baby" is a movie about the 30-something old Maggie Fitzgerald who's only last dream in this life is to hit it hard. To become a professional female boxer and to give all she got into this last shot. Coming from poor and truly ungrateful family to a place where hope finally starts to grow. Shwank gives her character a depth and a sincerity that amaze me.. When she first smile in this move, it truly shows that this girl and her path hasn't allowed her to smile for ages.. It's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
