Movie Reviews of Million Dollar Baby [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Clint at his best!
Summary: 5 Stars

The first thing I do when I read user reviews for a film is go to the opposite of my opinion. So in the case of Million Dollar Baby, I directly went to the area where people rated this film only 1 star and read their reviews. Interesting to say the least. I feel some people just miss the boat on this film and what type of story its trying to tell. It's a story of stubbornness and the will to do whatever it takes to be the best, and how all of that can be taken from you in a single moment. To cherish the opportunities we have in life and to leave everything we've got on the table. Yes, it's not a happy story, it's not sold as a feel good film! I'm not sure why people are confused by this. But the film ultimately is inspiring because Hilary Swank's character is selfless and does everything she can to achieve her dreams.

Okay, another thing. This is NOT a pro-euthanasia movie. I hope that I haven't spoiled anything for someone reading this, but I had to say something regarding so many people writing this in the 1-star section. I'm sure if you loved someone you wouldn't want them suffering, especially in the sense that the character is in the movie.

In the end, this is an obvious Best Picture winner. Expertly crafted like Clint always does, superbly acted, and has an excellent pace, this is a definite must-see, if not own. I highly recommend it, let alone just about anything Eastwood has directed because he just knows how to get it done.

Summary of Million Dollar Baby [Blu-ray]

Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/02/2010 Run time: 132 minutes Rating: Pg13

Clint Eastwood's 25th film as a director, Million Dollar Baby stands proudly with Unforgiven and Mystic River as the masterwork of a great American filmmaker. In an age of bloated spectacle and computer-generated effects extravaganzas, Eastwood turns an elegant screenplay by Paul Haggis (adapted from the book Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner by F.X. Toole, a pseudonym for veteran boxing manager Jerry Boyd) into a simple, humanitarian example of classical filmmaking, as deeply felt in its heart-wrenching emotions as it is streamlined in its character-driven storytelling. In the course of developing powerful bonds between "white-trash" Missouri waitress and aspiring boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), her grizzled, reluctant trainer Frankie Dunn (Eastwood), and Frankie's best friend and training-gym partner Eddie "Scrap-Iron" Dupris (Morgan Freeman), 74-year-old Eastwood mines gold from each and every character, resulting in stellar work from his well-chosen cast. Containing deep reserves of love, loss, and the universal desire for something better in hard-scrabble lives, Million Dollar Baby emerged, quietly and gracefully, as one of the most acclaimed films of 2004, released just in time to earn an abundance of year-end accolades, all of them well-deserved. --Jeff Shannon
