What an excellent directing!!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2006)

Clint Eastwood is better than ever in front of the camera and behind the camera. The start of this movie was marvelous, short sentences, the atmosphere, and the storyteller, his voice was like straight from your favorite grandfather. this story is a different story and a brave movie from Clint Eastwood. There was two different thing in this movie (from my eye). The first was that dirty boxing box, the dark boxing gym and that little word-fight between old veterans, with a beautiful music. The second was the nights and days in hospital, with no sound but the sound of machines around poor Maggie. I admire the attitude of Maggie Fitzgerald. And I admire that Frankie Dunn was ready to put poison in that little girl's vein, which he really admired, I think most (after that girl he fell in love years ago) of his long-lasting life. I thank him, Hilary Swank and my favorite grandfather Morgan Freeman!!!
