overrated film of the decade

Extremely overrated. I don't what it was, but for me, this movie felt too fake, too engineered. I believe it was designed from the beginning just to give Eastwood an Oscar. Design up a script with tearful and shocking moments, add in a hot-button political topic (such as morality of keeping someone alive or letting them die in peace), and then add an all-star cast. Voila. The perfect film for... read more

I don't know if it's just because I don't like boxing or because the movie was crap (I'm going for crap) but I was bored with this pathetic attempt right from the word go. I realise that a Clint Eastwood film isn't worth watching but I wanted to know what everyone was on about. Obviously I am a sucker for punishment.
I knew it was a bad idea as soon as I started to hear Morgan Freeman's ras... read more

Description: 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 &quot ... (more)

"El sacrificio que tuvo que hacer Maggie con tal de poder vivir su vida como ella siempre quiso, alejándose de la mediocridad que la ataba a un trabajo sin futuro y una familia que no la aprecia, es algo que destruye bastante sabiendo como terminó todo. Frankie nunca debió sentir culpa por querer arriesgarse, y fue cuando se arriesgó que pudo encontrar una segunda oportunidad de triunfar, aun con las penas del pasado. Me he condensado, pero fácilmente es una de las mejores de Clint Eastwood."
