"Million Dollar Baby" (Million Dollar Baby) is a feature film directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. The film tells the story of a well-known boxing coach, Frankie, who fell into a long-term self-enclosure and depression for being too involved in boxing. An apprentice Maggie's determination softened Frankie and became an excellent female boxer. The film won the 77th Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and other awards.
There are no handsome men or beauties in the movie, no fantasy special effects and ecstatic soundtracks, and even a handful of characters appear. But no one can deny its modernity and non-replicability. Some people say that "Million Dollar Baby" is a movie with women as the protagonist, but it conveys a tougher life attitude than men. Life is tough, we need tougher. Eddie, played by Morgan Freeman in the film, said that people love violence, so they love to watch boxing and join the fun at the scene of a car accident. But no one really understands boxing. The essence of boxing is to maintain dignity and deprive opponents of their dignity.
Other movies are using mainstream values ​​to teach us how to succeed. Only this movie is telling us how to face failure. We have worked hard to succeed all our lives, but it is still possible that we will not succeed in our whole life, and it is also very possible that we will fail again after we succeed. How do we face the pain of never being able to reach a height, or even the pain of a heavy fall from a height? And all this leads to the ultimate proposition: how should we face death, how to die with dignity.
