Movie of the Week: Million Dollar Baby


I have to give it a 4/4 stars. All the acting, in particular Hillary Swank, is beyond superb. There's a reason that this swept the Oscars in 2004.
The story is touching, although the ending is a little sad for my taste. I have a difficult time swallowing the choice that is made, but I guess some people just feel that this is their only choice. Obviously I have a different perspective, with my views on the purpose of life being very different.
This is the epitome of why Clint Eastwood is my favorite director. It's sooooo beautifully shot. I just can't enough of anything that this man creates!
