Million Dollar Baby

Rating: 9/10 (29 November 2005)

Well performed and well directed. It isn't better than Mystic River, but is a great movie. Clint Eastwood isn't good acting as directing. Morgan Freeman did great in this movie, and finally got an Oscar. Hillary Swank was excellent. I saw Mystic River a few weeks later of seeing Million Dollar Baby on DVD, and i thought, if The Return of the King haven't been nominated for the Oscar with Mystic River, Mystic River would have won. But Clint Eastwood made another excellent movie the next year, and there weren't any more books of The Lord of the Rings to be taken to the screen to compete with. It's fair that this movie is in the Top 250, and i hope it continue to be there for a long time.
