a beautiful as well as horrible movie... I loved it fully.

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2005)

If you would name a few movies that are almost perfect or perfect in your eyes, this is a movie you would name (in my sight, anyways). Million Dollar Baby is far different from other movies you've seen - especially when it's about fighting in matches, wanting to win and fighting for dreams come true, such like The Karate Kid (a bad one) and Rocky (a good one, but the sequels were bad). This movie takes another perspective on the boxing world - into the woman boxing world mixed into a story about a woman, overage who really WANTS to be a professional boxer, and an old man, who against his will becomes her coach and doesn't have an idea that it will influence his life forever... and no matter how he denies it, it makes him a better person. Told by his assistant, Scrap (Morgan Freeman), this is an unbelievably beautiful movie about friendship, dreams and identity.
