I remember there is a saying that tragedy is to shatter a beautiful thing in front of you, and the first half of this movie is about such a shining star, a boxer who is about to ascend to the throne suddenly falls.
The structure of the film is compact, and the director is very clear about what each part is going to show. Therefore, after watching it for more than two hours, it feels long and not boring at all, and each part has a small expectation for the next. Moreover, the film is very good at grasping the rhythm, and has a good understanding of the details and the expert ideas of characters in various periods (time is limited, so it will not be expanded).
The characters in the movie are also distinctive, there are good people and disgusting people, and the description of the heroine's family is also in place. Only such a family can have such a stubborn daughter. The characters in the boxing gym have also selected a few to focus on, and the characters have their own characteristics.
Movies are also very good at foiling, such as the fight against Billie, which was just a flash in the past, and then refused and stopped fighting, but, in the end, he has to come back. When it starts again, there is hope. This is the case in many places, and the director has polished the details very well.
It's a good movie, but I'm spoiling it.

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.
