Superb drama about a dream that results in a nightmare

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2005)

NO SPOILERS. Million Dollar Baby stands for teaching us the meaning of "the dream come true" motto that everyone tries to achieve during life. A woman that came from an unknown poor town seeks a dream in a sleazy box gymnasium and hopes to be trained by a well-reputed elderly man that once was called the best stitch man outside the ring. The movie is packed with human drama and a bit of comedy moments with one Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood at their best. Although this movie is about boxing, the main attention and script runs far beyond this subject, taking us to a journey into the world of this violent sport as well to an emotional aura, lots of drama, human behavior, courage, determination and doggedness.
This film deserved all the Oscars nominated to it and I would advise you as a must to see... and don't get panicked if at the end of it a pair of oversuspicious tears come out of your eyes... it's pure drama at its best.
