Today, I rewatched Million Dollar Baby, and I am deeply impressed. As I grow up, I seem to be able to read more feelings and resonance from the movie. Not everyone has the opportunity to block everything for their own dream that others don't understand. The protagonist in the movie also carries opportunities and dreams for the audience to some extent after he has achieved himself. What we left in the end was by no means the tears of regret or pity, but the joy and gratitude on our faces. This is the true achievement of life, and this is the best ending and the proper ending.
In boxing everything is the other way around, Frank seems to choose acceptance and approval while questioning, he questioned God and Jesus, and has barely missed a Mass for 23 years, he says he never accepts training for girls, and is in the My darling my flesh is written on her robe. Maggie exchanged her belief and enthusiasm for success and blocked everything, but she also has everything. Outside the boxing ring, there are really few people who can understand your dreams, and no one can understand your enthusiasm. It is your relatives who discourage you, and it is the enemy who makes you think and teach you lessons to bring you success. Tangier is the epitome and incarnation of perseverance in the movie, a whole-hearted tendon. After being crushed, he feels that maybe he is not this material, but for people who are persistent, dreams have nothing to do with this piece of material, it is related to beliefs. It's okay to lose once, even though Tangier never actually played, he didn't have a real opponent, but he knew what he wanted, he knew to punch forward. Frank finally received a letter from his daughter, so hope is always there, as long as faith and persistence are always there.

The story is told very calmly, and each character has a very distinctive character. There are many small stories that can make the audience stretch their imagination and highlight the theme of the whole story. These plots and small story points also shape the character of the characters. It can be seen that the director's ability to use the plot to shape the characters and themes is extraordinary. Terrific movie.

Million Dollar Baby quotes

  • Frankie Dunn: I swear to God, Father, it's committing a sin by doing it. By keeping her alive, I'm killing her. Do you know what I mean? How do I get around that?

    Father Horvak: You don't. You step aside, Frankie. You leave her with God.

    Frankie Dunn: She's not asking for God's help. She's asking for mine.

    Father Horvak: Frankie, I've seen you at Mass almost every day for 23 years. The only person comes to church that much is the kind who can't forgive himself for something. Whatever sins you're carrying, they're nothing compared to this. Forget about God or heaven and hell. If you do this thing, you'll be lost. Somewhere so deep you'll never find yourself again.

    Frankie Dunn: I think I did it already.

  • Maggie Fitzgerald: I seen you looking at me.

    Frankie Dunn: Yeah, out of pity.

    Maggie Fitzgerald: Don't you say that. Don't you say that if it ain't true. I want a trainer. I don't want charity, and I don't want favours.
