The best by the best

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2005)

Clint Eastwood has put together a body of work of acting, directing and producing that is unequalled by any other "Hollywood" personage. His latest, Million Dollar Baby, is the best of all of the wonderful things he had done over the years. This film has the power to move the viewer to the core of your soul, and you become one with the three central characters and the story, which is not about boxing, but about love. But what should leave you awestruck is what Eastwood is able to get from Hilary Swank.....a performance that will rank as one of the all time greats, and one which will stay with you long after you have left the theater.....her face and her voice and her grit and loyalty seem enbedded in your consciousness for day, and you cannot shake it. If you love film, you must see Million Dollar Baby, you will love Hilary Swank's Maggie MacGuire beyond words, and you will be equally moved by the chemistry between Eastwood, Swank and Freeman which has produced one of the most stunning and powerful movies I have seen----and I started with him when he was Rowdy Yates......oh, how far he has come, and how much I have loved the ride with Clint, I only hope that moviegoers will appreciate what this man has given the art of film over his long and distinguished career...Thank you Clint
