Beth and I viewed the film Million Dollar Baby last night. I realize it has been out a while and that it won 4 Academy Awards. We see very few films in the theater preferring to wait until they are released on DVD.
I enjoyed the movie. I thought the interaction between Eddie (Morgan Freeman) and Frankie (Clint Eastwood) was excellent. I thought Maggie (Hilary Swank) played an excellent role. She was in my opinion quite convincing. I found myself drawn into the characters appreciative of the redemptive relationships. I was saddened by the result and the plot twists which befell Maggie after all her struggles to rise above her social position.
The dilemma at the end was well portrayed. Frankie’s struggle was real and quite painful. Did you think “What would I have done?”
If anybody out there saw this film, I would be interested to hear your thoughts and opinions.
