Review of Million Dollar Baby (2004) by Daren W — 08 Nov 2011
This is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. Period. Clint Eastwood creates movie magic in both his acting and his directing. This story of hope and tragedy will have you smiling with pride one moment and angry beyond words the next.
Every character introduced into this story vividly comes to life, particularly Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman's characters. Perhaps the most effective (and upsetting) use of characters to create emotion appears in the form of Frankie's family.
They have very minimal screen time but, as they use her for her money and treat her worse than an animal, their very presence will have you shaking with anger as they are more inconsiderate and selfish than any character I have seen on the screen.
From it's feel-good moments to it's tear-jerking realities, Million Dollar Baby delivers from start to finish in one of our generation's finest cinematic acheivements.
