A real fighter

Rating: 8/10 (17 August 2005)

Anything will not be difficult with strong will. The deeds of Maggie embodied completely the saying. Although Maggie was a woman, she liked boxing very much. She suffered much just for boxing. Luckily she encountered a fatherly coach Frankie. Of cause it would not happen without warm-hearted caretaker Eddie. As Maggie won the match once and once again, I felt happy for her.
However the unexpected thing happened. Due to a lack of self-protection, her mean opponent punched her from the back. She fell and paralyzed. That was fatal strike for her. After learned her condition, she decided to end her life. I do not think that she was a coward. She just liked Ramon (the sea inside). But she was much luckier than Ramon. She got what she wanted in a short period. She just died like a fighter.
Hilary Swank really deserved the Oscar award (the best actress). If I were the referee, I would also vote for her. Now I am looking forward to watching her another award-wining movie Boys don't cry. Clint Eastwood proved his versatility again since his Mystic River. Morgan Freeman finally won the long-awaiting academy award (the best supporting actor).
A movie can bring you confidence and courage. 8/10
