Thanks

While my Mom was significantly older than the Boxer in your movie I had to make the decision to end her life. That moment tortured me for years but I did what I had to do.
What I thought was most interesting about your movie and, I will attach an email that I sent to friends and family, is the rock and the hard place that this government has placed American citizens in as a result of ignorant religious fundamentalism.
I am a religious person but I also believe in "revelation" (small R).
Thanks for a brilliant and thought provoking movie.
Peace always,
Bart

Have you ever been caught between a rock and a hard place? While I am not a movie critic I find myself in that position after seeing Million Dollar Baby. My critic would not be based on the artistic value of the production or indeed the performance of the actors (although both in my opinion were excellent), I am not qualified to do so. My critic has more to do with the position that some folks have regarding the subject matter (and it is not Boxing) and their refusal to allow science to deal with alternatives to the end result of this painful movie.
I would really like to talk more about this but I think the movie stirs a debate and people need to see it. Trust me, I have no financial interest in this movie, but I do have a spiritual connection that I would be more then happy to share after most people see the movie.
