Million Dollar Baby

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2005)

Who knows Hilary Swank? The only thing was known about this young and not really pretty woman, that she won an Oscar for a 'whatabout' movie, titled Boys Don't Cry. Is she talented? Has she got a personal charm? Or is she a ham as an actress? Where have I seen her? Oh, yes, in Beverly Hills 90210. Is that she, really? That full-of-teeth, laughing-academy, unattractive girlie, who cannot speak well a sentence? Why is she so public currently? About that kinds of feelings surrounded me, when I sat to watch 'Million Dollar Baby'. I was skeptical about the movie itself, too. So, the two hours was passing away. And at the end of the film, I would cry by choice. I realized the fantasize of the story, the inside senses, and I've been touched by the main message of the film: never give up your dreams! Afterwards I went to see Boys Don't Cry. And now I could tell that this full-of-teeth young woman is one of the best actresses of our time. Clint Eastwood made one of the best movies of all! Two thumbs up!
