A Million Dollar Film

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2005)

When going into see Million Dollar Baby, I was expecting a film similar to that of the awesome Rocky saga. I was very surprised by this film that shows the rise and unfortunate end to the career of Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), a waitress suffering from poverty. Swank and supporting actor Morgan Freeman definitely earned their Oscars, and I was happy to see Million Dollar Baby shut down The Aviator for Best Film. Clint Eastwood got the award for director, sorry Scorsese! The only part of this film that kind of disgusted me was watching Clint Eastwood cry. Dirty Harry does not cry! It was the perfect part for Eastwood, but unfortunately for him, Jamie Foxx pulled off a career ice breaker in Ray, leaving him without the little gold guy.
