Though a simple story about a boxer, her manager and the gym's janitor, this movie will take you places and touch you in ways you never expected. Clint as the hardened trainer takes on Swank as the tough, but poor female boxer to train her if for no reason than to be rid of her. The two grow together and you grow with them. Freeman balances the hard heart of Clint and the hard head of Swank, allowing the three of them to take you on a journey that touches your heart as the characters grow, lifts your spirits as her career moves toward the peak and makes you realize how great the power of dreams really is. The character development and depth of the story is rewarding for whomever watches.
Best movie that I have seen in ten years. Swank actually learned to box for this film and broke her nose. Morgan excels in any venture that he is part of, and he has an incredible voice. Clint plays the role of a divorced man who was not much of a father/husband and longs to have a relationship with his daughter who never forgives him for his failings. Swank fills the hole in his heart left by the absence of his family. Crushing ending so get out your kleenex.
Excellent film featuring well developed characters and engaging plot line embellished with unexpected plot turns and surprises. Fascinating exposition into human frailties, and strengths, and impossible moral and ethical dilemmas. Well deserving of all 5 Oscar wins. One of Eastwood's best.

This is another great movie acted and directed by Clint Eastwood. Hillary Swank also makes a stunning appearance and plays her character with grace. The plot was snappy and held my attention. There were also several moral issues portrayed in the movie, although i didn't agree with the outcome, persay, i thought it was tastfully done and leaves room for discussion with your children at the end of the movie. I would recommend previewing before allowig teens or ore-teens to watch.
It's easy to turn this discussion towards the right-to-life issue, but let's put that aside for a moment and consider the movie's merits. A tightly written screenplay with superb acting, I felt something for every single character - even the stupid redneck family. While it didn't leave me wanting to try my hand at boxing, it certainly did have me twisting in my seat, wondering what would happen next. We can agree or disagree with the movie's final act, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a superb piece of cinematography.
Another classic from Clint Eastwood. He brings out the very best in Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. I can always rely on Clint to make a very good movie.

Riveting movie that deserves all of the praise and accolades it earned. Few movies are as complete, as well designed and written; and few movies are as well acted. Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman combine for an incredible performance. That's the true beauty of "Million Dollar Baby" - rather than rely on big budget explosions and graphics, it is driven by acting, by story and by emotion. Most importantly, the film is real. The acting is so fine that it comes across naturally and the audience cant help but become emotional. Furthermore, the realism extends to the boxing and fighting sequences - rather than a Rock IV / Drago vs. Rocky fight, the sequences are superbly designed and even performed by actual boxers and prize fighters. The movie moves in many directions - but all naturally. With worse writing or acting, the direction might feel forced; but Eastwood makes sure that everything progresses smoothly and intelligently. There is much more to say - but I would prefer to keep from spoiling the plot. What I will say though is that there are perhaps more enjoyable films - ones you watch mindlessly and enjoy for various reasons... but there are few films that are complete or more satisfying. And there were no such films during 2004.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This is one of Clint Eastwood's best films and will undeniably go down in history as just that. You couldn't get a better cast for this movie. I enjoyed this movie very much and knowing that it's based on a true story makes it even more touching to me. For these reasons, and many more, I bought this movie. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good drama or an underdog movie.
This movie is hands down one of my favorite movies! The characters pull you into their lives and you become incased in their stories. Hilary Swank earned every golden inch of her Oscar on this one. I give Million Dollar Baby my highest recommendation! Also I give a slight warning...while it is a great film, it's more than likely that it will make you cry. So if you're looking for a film to cheer you up...maybe you should save this one for a different movie night.
