The best picture of 2004

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2014)

Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby is a masterpiece to it's genre with director and star to the film Clint Eastwood playing a boxing trainer who doesn't believe in training girls in boxing. Then all of the sudden a girl comes to his gym by the name of Maggie Fitzgerald (played wonderfully by Hilary Swank). The movie is on a par with sports film classics such as Rocky, The Pride of the Yankees, and The Blind Side.Director and star Clint Eastwood really knows how to stage some perfect boxing scenes with his sensitive directorship or the movie. Also for the movie Hilary Swank gives the best performance of her career, and with the legendary Morgan Freeman in his best performance since The Shawshank Redemption. And what a great supporting cast that includes Michael Pena, Anthony Mackie, Jay Baruchel etc. Not only this was a great boxing movie it was also very inspirational at the exact same time.
