Million Dollar Baby

Whether or not it was technically perfect, It was a good movie....
Hmmmmm. Im gonna have to watch "The Aviator now to see if winning over that was justified as I heard a fair few MS fans saying "Unfair"...

i dont kno bout this .. things like this movie always seem to get advantage at awards

can anybody tell me anything about this movie?

It is now one of my favorite movies of all time. I am so releaved that Hilary got the Oscar. What a performance. Did anyone see her in Boys Don't Cry? Holy $&!^ that was great.

"Boys Don't Cry" I hope I never have to see again, because it was a fantastic movie, but lingers with you forever, like "Monster".

watch a trailer its pretty self explanitory.. theres a girl boxer who wants to get trained by an old guy who doesnt like training girls

Now that the Oscar hype and all the publicity has tone down I finally got to see it. And is a very good movie indeed! ✅

All the characters were well writen and very well performed by the actors. Clint and Hilary defenetly have very good chemistry together on film. I felt for that father and daughter story and it was emotional. Not that it brought tears to my eyes, but it did make my cold stone heart a little softer.

I like how the characters display determination and willing to fight despite their odds. Also the ending was very unexpected for me. Is not your typical "underdog triumphs" ending, but rather more a desolate and dramatic conclusion. The performances also gave the ending a very satisfied finally.

Both Morgan and Clint always bring that effective charm and old tough guy sympathy to the screen. It remind me so much of Unforgiven and when you think it for a minute you kinda feel a connection between the ending of Unforgiven and MDB.

But even the performance of the two veteran actors could not top the charming and energetic performance of Hilary Swank. God she was so wonderful in this film. That fighting spirit really captivated me. She trully deserve that oscar (mind you I personally don't care much for awards) But this time I do agree....she was sensational. Her performance was so good that during the last fight I keep shouting inside of my mind....KNOCK HER OUT!.

Great film...fantastic characters..Emotional moments...Superb Acting...One great film. No question about it! This film is must see and it defenetly deserves a....

5 out of 5 👆

Just a note, "Million Dollar Baby" was released on DVD today. There's a 2 Disc set, as well as a 3 Disc set which includes the OST.

I didnt like it .. the more I think about it the more I think it was way overrated

The film was written by Paul Haggis (who wrote and directed Crash).

In case you may have forgotten, Haggis (and producer) Albert S Ruddy created one of the worst shows on TV:

WALKER TEXAS RANGER

I liked Crash

but Texas ranger was complete crap

hell, yeah!

It was a good movie and for 2004 it was deserving of Best Picture. In 90% of the other years, no way.

I like Hillary Swank alot, though, and love anything she's in. She was a perfect Maggie.

I saw MDB in the theatres with my dad...I actually really liked it. I figured it was gonna be a really boring, stupid boxing movie, and I guess it was mostly just boxing...but I liked it for some reason. The ending was a little predictable, but still good. I like hilary swank alot too, so that helped. Am I the only one who liked boys don't cry? It's one of my favorites... 😮

I liked "Boys Don't Cry", and I feel bad for doing so, lol. It's not something you're supposed to "enjoy" necessarily, but it was a very intense and moving film, that's for sure.

well...I cried, lol. And the whole time I was watching it, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be sympathetic towards her/him or completely weirded out by the whole thing...I guess it helps the weirdness factor a little that it was a true story

I bought the film and it was worth the buy. It is a good movie. It's well deserving of it's Oscars.
