Watched Million Dollar Baby last night.

[Shell Beau]

An excellent and emotional film. Who else has seen it?

1. My fave movie of the year!

A great flick. Swank and Freeman (finally) deserved their Oscars.
Just an overall good movie. Great acting, writing, directing. It was nothing fancy, no special effects, but it was a solid film.

[Shell Beau]

4. Yes I think they all deserved their Oscars.

Eastwood (although a rethug) is brilliant! It was so sad though.

5. Eastwood could've won

one for "Mystic River", which was equally emotional.

[Shell Beau]

6. Yeah, I enjoyed that one as well.

Sean Penn was brilliant in that movie. I actually like Million Dollar Baby more though. I just really felt for Swank's and Eastwood's characters.

7. Swank was so convincing

She really played her character well, so well, that for every fight-I was jumping up and down rooting her on!:)

[Shell Beau]

8. And she worked really hard for that character.

Physically and I am sure emotionally. I hated her mother in the movie, but I think she brought a small happiness to Eastwood and he became a father figure for her.

9. We're suppose to hate the mother

and Clint was suppose to become a father figure. IT worked well on so many levels. Just amazing.:hi:

10. I also loved how the audience thinks Morgan Freeman is

talking to them the whole time only to find out that he is writing a letter to Clint's daughter. I wonder what he did to his family and I wonder what he did after he pulled the plug. I guess it is for the audience to decide.

12. Ok, forgive me when I say this

The first time I watched the movie was late at night after I got home from the bar, drunk out of my mind.
I got MDB on bootleg and for some reason on my DVD player, the movie was all fuzzy and only played on the left side of the screen, for real. It played on about five inches of the screen and the sound was poor.
So after that viewing, I thought Swank was really Eastwood's daughter!
The next night, I watched it on the TV in our downstairs and the movie played fine!:)

2. Great movie!

I'm going to buy the DVD as soon as I get paid.

[Shell Beau]

3. I am going to get it as well and add to our DVD collection.

11. An almost-great movie...

It was remarkable in it's ability to turn hackneyed cliches into fresh, heartbreaking material.

[Shell Beau]

13. Well it sure was heartbreaking, that is for sure.

I loved it though!
