Million Dollar Baby

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2005)

Million Dollar Baby starring Hillary Swank, Clint Eastwood, and Morgan Freeman is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. I think that it deserves most of the awards that it won. This movie is about Maggie,a southern girl who works as a waitress and will take the leftover food from her customer and lie that it is for her dog because she can hardly afford anything for herself. Then she starts to want to box. In the opening scene you see her watching a boxing match. At the end of the fight she tries to talk to one of the managers of one of the boxers to see if he wanted to manage her. He denies her and then the next day she decides to go over to his gym. After she has been at the gym everyday and working very hard, Scraps, Morgan Freeman's character, comes and corrects her on some of her mistakes. Frankie, Clint Eastwood's character, finally manages her. You'll have to watch the rest to find out what happens next. This is a sad, happy, moving, amazing, and very unpredictable moving movie that shows how much effort and work you have to do to become a great boxer. I recommend it for everyone (even though it is rated PG-13 your kids and kids everywhere should see it), you will end up loving it and it will touch your heart.
