A true triumph of a film...

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2005)

Wow, now I haven't seen a film like this in a long time. This movie is all things powerful, endearing, thoughtful, joyful, painful rolled into one. I won't go into specific points or details from the movie to reinforce the above comment; rather, I leave it to you to weave your own appreciative spin on just how gripping this work of art is.
Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman have coordinated in the working of a truly memorable masterpiece with Million Dollar Baby. I've always felt one of the most crucial elements any good film should possess is the capacity to entice the viewer to really give a damn about its characters. Not necessarily love. Nor hate. Just care what happens to them, be they good or bad, or anything in between. Well, this movie made me care. It made me laugh, yearn, cry. Mr. Eastwood, I am now, and always have been your fan. Bravo.
