Saw the Oscar winner last night. What a fantastic movie. Clint Eastwood, Hillary Swank, and Morgan Freeman give a flawless performance. The last 45 minutes of the movie are emotionally draining, and as I don't wish to give any spoilers of the movie, all I can say is its highly recommended.

Oh right. What about the 'baby' part?

Baby refers to the female boxer.

That's the literal meaning of the title. Of course, it could be an affection term for the boxer - watch it and find out.

Seriously, this movie has it all! The part when her mother asks for her signature and puts the pen in her mouth is very emotional - credit to her for kicking her trailer park ass out of the room! :)

The fight scenes are really good also.

5 times he has missed out and personally I think it's a disgrace, but dont get me started on that. Million Dollar Baby was one of the finest films in recent years, it brought me to tears right at the end, I recommend it to everyone.
