A must-see I eventually saw: Million Dollar Baby

Culture lacks, I told you!
Anyway, this is done. I always heard so many people talking about this movie as a very good movie, a must-see! It has won 4 oscars.

This is what I thought about it:

For me this movie treats several subjects, and more than this sport which is boxing:
- the lost love between a father and his daughter reached in the idealization of another person,
- the equality between men and women, especially in a very violent and macho sport,
- the feeling to be graceful to our parents even if they do not deserve it,
- fairplay,
- and of course, euthanasia.

Everything was really well told in this movie. Some characters were very interesting: Frankie, Maggie, her mother and the funny Danger! Clint Eastwood is very good, Hilary Swank, perfect! But I have a problem with Morgan Freeman. He is a brilliant actor but I think I am bored to see him everytime, everywhere, a bit like GĂ©rard Depardieu in France: he does too much movies! He was good in this movie anyway and he won an Oscar for it by the way!

This movie was a good moment, moving and interesting. It makes think about euthanasia, and alos the wills to live after reaching the top of your dreams and dropping in happiness then...
