Well.. Well.. Here you have both of them.. Freeman narrates it.. But Eastwood is not the 'sharp shooter' as he was in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.. He fight.. Yeah.. He is a veteran boxing trainer..
The leading roles, Frankie Dunn, Maggie Fitzgerald are done by Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank respectively. Morgan Freeman has done the role of Eddie Dupris, Frankie's friend and faithful employee. The story is narrated ny Freeman.. That itself shows how brilliant it would be.. Something told by Freeman can never be bad.. Right??
Million Dollar Baby,2004 is an american sports drama film directed by Clint Eastwood. The film portraits a training gym run by Frankie and his employee Eddie. The gym was not doing good. Added to that his fighter,who was groomed by him to a world class status has payed him back by signing an agreement with another manager. Frankie has devoted his life to the ring and training. It was at that time,a lady Maggie Fitzgerald came to Frankie and asked if he could train him. Frankie was not interested in training women and he didnt accept her request. But, later Frankie had to due to her determination and love.. The rest of the movie deals with the personnel relationship between the trainer and the trainee.The 4 Academy Award winning movie is thoughtful, unfashionable, honest, simple and shows us that life can really fuck you at times.. "You plan everything.. Everything goes according to your plan and here you have a happy ending" Life doesnt work that way.. It has alwasy gor other plans..and it stick ti its...
