Cry baby

Everyone loves Maggie, she is a million dollar baby. Her fists make her opponents unable to resist. She is a fighter who goes forward bravely in green, a filial daughter and a well-behaved apprentice, and a loyal friend.
In fact, she is just a wounded girl.
Had it not been for Xiao reminded me, I hadn't noticed that there were no tears in the first half of the film. Maggie is like a speed bag, hit and bounced repeatedly, as if this is her destined rhythm. Frankie said to her, you should never cry in front of me. Maggie smiled. "Yes, boss", she said. Maggie really did it. For a boxer, pain is just a symbolic feeling, whether it comes from the opponent's hit or the harshness of life itself. Maggie is so satisfied, because standing in the boxing ring, she is no longer the waitress of the lingering small restaurant, but a soldier called by countless people until, that fatal blow...
Maggie did not fail, she just injured. And this time, only death can make her heal. She was lying on the hospital bed with a breathing tube stuck in her throat, her left leg trousers were empty, signs of life were moving away from her. "I can only hear your voice, boss." Seeing Maggie like this, Frankie was in pain, but he didn't expect Maggie to suffer more than him. He actually bit his tongue with the last bit of will to try to achieve relief. That kind of pain is unbearable just by imagination. If it wasn't for the dignity that had been reduced to the bottom line, how could Maggie make such a move? However, there are still no tears, not even a drop.
It is not difficult to predict that Frankie will eventually help Maggie end her life. He slowly leaned down and translated the mysterious Gaulish phrase to Maggie's ear: "Mocuishle means, my darling, my blood." Warm tears poured out of the bottom of his eyes, moistening Maggie's last breath.

Facing a crying girl, what should you do?
Zsg provided us with a classic answer: don't say a word, just give her a "bear hug"-the kind of hug that uses her whole body to cover her in the safest place in the world.

If she has been injured, please don't let her wither.

    Unable to accept the ending, too sad. After watching it for a while, I didn't want to continue practicing boxing, and I didn't lose all the courage to fight. (But I will continue to practice, I'm so happy

    Real and cold, deep and moving. The first half is a traditional sports inspirational film that makes people excited and can't help but laugh. Dongmu personally composed the music, the soundtrack and editing are very simple, the lighting is extremely delicate (low-key and high-contrast, the lighting in the car is very novel), and the three leading actors have contributed extraordinary performances. Regarding dreams, life and death, beliefs, the emotions that hit people's hearts directly. (9.5/10)

Million Dollar Baby quotes

  • British referee: Ten minutes, luv.

    Maggie Fitzgerald: Man says he loves me.

    Frankie Dunn: Well, he's probably not the first one to say that.

    Maggie Fitzgerald: First since my daddy.

    Frankie Dunn: Hm.

    Maggie Fitzgerald: I win, you think he'll propose?

    Frankie Dunn: You win, *I'll* propose.

  • Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Boxing is an unnatural act. Cos everything in it is backwards. You wanna move to the left, you don't step left, you push on the right toe. To move right, you use your left toe. Instead of running from the pain - like a sane person would do, you step into it.
