Clint Eastwood's Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2018)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Million Dollar Baby" (2004) is a masterpiece - pure and simple. It knocks you to the bone. I have seen this movie like 3 times in my life, and it never looses it powerful punch. That is because of simple and simply perfect directing work by Mr. Eastwood, powerhouse performances by Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman both won Oscars for crying out loud!) as well as one of the best (if not) by in his carrier by Eastwood himself. And the heart of the movie lies not in a boxing sequences (although they are brutal and real) but in a relationships between these characters we do care about. And when the ending comes, prepare to have some pure small tears in your eyes - because this movie earns it.
Overall, as a director C.Eastwood made a lot of great and amazing movies, but
"Million Dollar Baby" in my opinion is his crowning achievement. Movies are hardly being made better then this one.
