Swank plays this waitress from trailer park Missouri who comes to California to pursue her dreams. She eats off what folks leavings at work. She saves up just about every dime and works hard because as Morgan Freeman so beautifully narrated in the film, there is a dream in everyone that only they can see and for her it's a shot at becoming a female boxer; She don't have many people in her corner rooting for her; Matter of fact, her family down her and even spurns the house she buys in cash money for them because "she don't wanna mess up her welfare" that just reinforces to me that that mentality isn't in one group of folk. Anyhow, in spite of the odds(she's over 30, little or no support, one woman in a male dominated field, the reluctance of Eastwood to even want to train her ("I Don't Train Girls") she makes a name for herself and rise up in the ranks in spite of the fact that other fighters are reluctant to spar with her due to her knocking them out in the first round.And even when things get better, she stays grounded and keeps on training. One of the saddest yet triumphant scenes in the movie is when her family comes to see her and make her want to sign some papers complete with the lawyer in hand and she kicks them to the curb and sends their butts packing. But in spite of the good, there's some bad and sad; Won't spoil it all. One more thing, I think Morgan Freeman's role in the movie as narrator and as the voice of reason to Clint Eastwood's character was refreshing and candid; I liked and applauded it;
