Million Dollar Baby
After a painful estrangement from his daughter, boxing trainer Frankie Dunn has been unwilling to allow himself get close to anyone for a very long time. All this is set to change with the arrival of Maggie Fitzgerald. Maggie has remained focussed and has pushed herself forward on the back of her raw talent. She wants someone to believe in her, but he isn't keen on the responsibility or the potential risk involved. Finally he is won over by Maggie's sheer determination and he begrudgingly agrees to take her on. Their working relationship proves to be exasperating and inspiring by turns. Steadily they come to discover that they share a common spirit that transcends the pain and loss of their pasts and they must find the courage to face reality. At the Academy Awards 2005, the film won an Oscar (R) for Best Motion Picture Of The Year, Hilary Swank won for her Performance By An Actress In A Leading Role, Morgan Freeman won for his Performance By An Actor In A Supporting Role and Clint Eastwood received the award for Achievement In Directing.

Entertainment in Video Million Dollar Baby [2005]
Clint Eastwood's 25th film as a director, <I>Million Dollar Baby</I> stands proudly with <I>Unforgiven</I> and <I>Mystic River</I> 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 <I>Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner</I> 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, <I>Million Dollar Baby</I> 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. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>
